My Pregnancy Fitness Routine

08/27/19

I'm not going to sugarcoat it - my pregnancy fitness routine isn't what I expected it to be. Before pregnancy, knowing that exercise was healthy during pregnancy - it helps reduce swelling, reduces your chances of gestational diabetes, improves sleep, increases energy and lots more - I thought I would do everything I had done before. That turned out not to be the case. Although early on, I was … [Read more...]

My Pregnancy Must-Haves for All Trimesters

08/22/19

When I first found out I was pregnant, I'll admit I was completely lost and oblivious to all the pregnancy must-haves available. Instead of jumping right in and buying everything in sight, I took it slowly and observed my own changing body and what it needed and asked for. I'm still learning as I go, but I'm proud to report I've found many pregnancy must-haves that have helped me find comfort and … [Read more...]

My Rent the Runway for Pregnancy Review + Promo Code

08/09/19

One of the simple joys of this pregnancy has been dressing my bump. I started outgrowing my pre-pregnancy clothes around Week 13, but was adamant about not buying an entirely new wardrobe or resorting to frumpy maternity wear which is why I decided to try Rent the Runway for pregnancy. After using it throughout my second trimester and into my third, here's my Rent the Runway promo code and an … [Read more...]

Our Big Island Babymoon

08/07/19

Although I may be remiss in calling our recent Hawaiian vacation a "Big Island Babymoon" - it was really just our Summer vacation - it has a nice ring to it so I'm going with it. It most certainly will be the last time we travel somewhere far away during my pregnancy so in that sense it was a Babymoon! We typically take a Summer vacation in Europe, but since I'm pregnant, I was adamant … [Read more...]

Tobacco-free New York

My … [Read more...]
