This Monday morning has me in a hazy cloud. 

A dream of a weekend but there is zombie state aftermath!

We hit up the Atlanta Dogwood Festival and sent most of the day there yesterday. No bugs, no humidity, and nothing but sun. There are only a handful of weeks like that in the year!

How was your weekend??

Its crunch time for the website launch. (hint: coming in the next 24 hrs! facebook/twitter will be the first to know) I will be transferring the blog feed over to the new site but if you lose updates, it should be easy to re-subscribe. Will keep you posted!

Ever since Gabriel felt the baby move, he has been frequently asking me what the baby is doing, and what we should call him/her. Here are some of the names that were being discussed while Gabe was snapping these pics...

Mary Fawn
Mary Chapstick
Mary Nose

He cracked himself up. He gets his joke skills from his dad..;)
Speaking of names, do you name the baby before he or she arrives? We have a few favorites for both boy and girl that we have up our sleeves. I like to see the face of the baby though before naming them. I was pretty sure the name Veronica needed to be a dark hair and dark eyed babe, but when I saw little V for the first time, I knew that it fit her just right. Gabe and I talk about names on a regular basis. We have a whole list we love. We'll see how many we get to use;)

We had a beautiful weekend here in Georgia. Spring is finally staying for a minute. Happy Monday!

P.S. Last day to enter to win a pair of Wayfarer Ray Bans!

There are a few basics this pregnancy that I have been switching out back and forth. Comfortable pants are probably the most important factor for me. I use a Blanqi to keep up non-maternity pants and to smooth and shape. I also love long and loose tops. My leopard flats are almost at their end considering I have worn the life out of them! Color and prints can be thrown in with accessories. For instance...

Sometimes I stick a tote inside a larger carry all:) I can fit just about everything into this Long Haul Bag - laptop, bottles, diapers, snacks (for low cal emergencies for both the kids and I;), wallet, make-up, etc. That way, if I am heading into a store and don't need it all, I can pull out the smaller tote to stick in necessities.  

So there you have some of my wear and go tricks of the mama-hood trade;)

I had a glorious forced break from work these past 4 days. 

My computer died on me and despite deadlines and big goals for the weekend, God decided I needed to rest and be still. I can't believe the wonders it did for me. I tackled logo design with pen and paper, my house got cleaned,  some DIY projects were completed, I started this book (fascinating so far), and the kids and I built lots of forts and block towers. Gabe and I also watched an unhealthy amount of NCAA basketball and our new addiction "Once Upon a Time" on netflix. 

I think I will hide my computer more often;) These small things made me so happy. Its not easy to unplug when your job depends on your computer, but I realize how necessary it is for my own well being.

Hope you all had a good weekend despite the fact that spring seems to be on strike nationwide!

Anyone have tips for that lovely growing out the bangs phase? A perpetual side braid is all I got!

I am entering into the third trimester (already?!) - what I like to compare to feeling as if you are carrying a kangaroo in your pouch and the awkward waddle starts to replace your once confident stride. The puffy  face alludes to the fact that you did just eat a whole can of pringles by yourself, and you don't really care if your toddler just dumped a bag of rice on the floor. Let her play in that mess because you don't have the energy to move you and your kangaroo pouch off the chair to clean it up.

Goodbye energetic and mobile second trimester.

But its okay because I get lots of kicks and hellos from the little one inside reminding me its all worth it.

In other news...

We were blessed with the most gorgeous weekend Georgia has seen in a while, and even better, I had my sisters in town to share it with. I am now okay with the rainy monday since I soaked the sun out of the weekend. How was yours friends?
