Maternity photos at 25 weeks

I am so terrible at scheduling photo sessions. When I was pregnant with my first, I booked mine so late. I took my maternity photos probably 2 weeks before Lennon was due. This time, I literally booked this 2 days before the session. The photographer, whom was also our wedding photographer, was doing mini sessions at the almond blossoms. They came out so beautiful. I loved loved loved them. I am about 25 weeks, so I had my baby bump, and not swollen yet. As for my dress, I literally asked to borrow my junior bridesmaid dress and it BARELY fit! I tried to wear my sister's bridesmaid dress from my wedding but that definitely did not fit. I tried really hard to get all my makeup glam, I went all out like with lashes and baking powder, not like cooking baking powder but makeup baking powder LOL. Did you know about baking your under eyes? Yeah it is a thing and it is the best discovery made on youtube make up tutorials because anything to cover my bags! I honestly am so happy I made the last minute decision to take these photos because the second trimester is my favorite. I was feeling great and still had a baby bump, not swollen or uncomfortable like I am in my third trimester. I hope you enjoy our photos as much as I am obsessed with them :)

Day off

When you have a day off, do you ever feel like there's not enough time in the day?!   I have this anxiety where I feel like we're not going to have a good day if we don't leave early in the morning, if there's not a plan, if we don't get everything prepared to leave on time, if it's too late in the day then we won't get to enjoy the day as much. With our schedules, there's only so many days where we have days off together. Sometimes I need to just let that go and let it be, I stress myself out thinking that way. I worry too much about having the day be perfect with my family that I am not actually enjoying the moment.   This weekend was filled with spontaneous moments with my loves and it was exactly what I needed to let that anxiety go. Friday, my sisters, Lennon and I spent that evening in Santa Cruz visiting a friend that lived down the street from the beach, and my son loves the beach. He said "beach, beach, beach" the whole way there. I

I wish "Mom guilt" never existed...

"Raise your hand if you dislike Monday mornings? After such a busy weekend, there is no time to recover. Monday morning was such an emotional one. Of course I press the snooze button too many times, its 7:30am and I have 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes to get my son dressed, myself dressed, breakfast for Lennon, making sure he actually eats it, find clean clothes for him and I, then its a race to drop him off. For the first time, since he was in preschool last year, he never cried or hugged on to me. When I dropped him off he just hugged onto me, not letting me go. His eyes started to tear up and his arms wrapped around my hips. I just said "Lennon what's wrong?" In that moment, I just felt this sadness. My little four year old that has been so happy and independent, still needs me. Eventually it took two teachers to take his hand to play. I just couldn't help but leave crying all the way to work, and I couldn't stop when I was at work. I sat at my desk and coul

Shrimp Tacos with homemade guacamole

Image
Happy Wednesday! :) I am pushing through the week. Today was beautiful with the sun out, my sister and I took my son to the park. We raced on the basketball court over and over again. It's his new favorite thing to do now and we love to watch him run. He clenches his fists and has his elbows up. It's the cutest thing ever. Now I need a nap but I'd rather blog instead.  Sometimes making a homemade dinner is challenging. Especially when you don't have a whole lot of time or you are just exhausted from your day or week, you want something quick, easy, and good for you! One thing we can always agree on are shrimp tacos. Plus my two year old Lennon loves shrimp and guacamole so why not marry them together in a meal! YES HOMEMADE GUAC!!!! It is seriously the best thing ever I could eat this everyday for the rest of my life, if it was the only thing I had to eat! Lennon eats my guac by the spoonful! I caught him literally grabbing a spoonful and putting the whole th
