The Happiest New Year

Happy New Year!!

I basically flipped out when I realized that January 1st, 2018 was on a MONDAY! You may not know this about me but I have always loved Monday's and when the year starts on one it's the most perfect way for a fresh start!

So talking fresh starts and now that I'm back and blogging, let me share with you what I'll have going on. Fashion and food of course, and I'm really excited to bring back my Martini Moment but it's coming back with a twist...see what I did there? Since the arrival of Baby K this will be my one mom post a week. Friday's will be "Mom's Martini Moment". Because what new Mom (or any Mom) doesn't deserve a drink at the end of the week? 

I always like to reflect on the year that has passed and I'll tell you it was one like I've never experienced. What went from a year that was planned to be full of travel (Venice, Iceland etc.) turned into one full of sleeping, eating, and in the end, delivering a baby. I couldn't be more happy or feel more blessed. But this new land of motherhood has me in a different frame of mind more than ever before. I always have resolutions. I feel like it isn't New Years without them.

Here are my very simple goals for 2018:

More reasons to celebrate. Like new shoes or simply because it's Tuesday and it's a great day to be alive.

More shoes (sorry MK) 

Allow time to appreciate the little things. Like more than four consecutive hours of sleep.   

Further cultivate my love of fashion. 

More. Organization. 

Run more often.  

Be a good Mom, raise a good human.  

Date nights.  

Champagne Sunday's. 

More dog walks.  

Make more time to read. 

Thanks for stopping by! Cheers to you and a new year! Let's do this 2018!

Party Like Gatsby

First, Mike and I would like to thank our closest family and friends for joining in on the celebration of Baby Boy Kilgore. From Texas to Florida we had guests from all over. We are so lucky and blessed to have all of you in our lives.

When MK and I planned this "Baby Shower" we knew exactly what we wanted and that didn't include Baby Bingo or a three hour gift opening. We also felt strongly that the amazing men in our lives needed to be included as well. So we decided on a fun Gatsby theme and made it a fun Friday date night for everyone. 

It was the perfect way to celebrate a new baby with great friends, food, and drinks (for everyone but me of course.) 

Thank you again to all of you who came! We love you!

Finally Fall!

It's not a secret blogging as taken a backseat during my pregnancy as I've seriously been too tired to even think. But I do have a few things coming up (like nursery design!) and wanted to of course acknowledge FALL!

Happy Fall Everyone!!!

Has this been the longest September like ever? Yes I believe it has been. How is it not October yet?!?! Even though I've been pretending that it's been Fall since like September 1st I can officially enjoy the décor and thought I would share some with you. 

Last year I made this wreath and this year just added some to it. Also, MK and I picked up these lanterns this year and it's so fun to dress them up according to season. 

The beauty of a pendant light is being able to throw Fall all over it! Ha!

Ok so since being pregnant getting dressed is basically my least favorite thing. Especially being almost 30 weeks. But I will say putting on a cute outfit and red lips is an immediate mood booster. This Target Kimono from their new collection "A New Day" is a perfect Fall transition piece (link at the bottom).  I'll be honest I'm ready for this boy to be here!

I hope that all of you have the best Fall ever! I know I plan to! Now go get yourself a delicious PSL and a new pair of over the knee boots!
