Maternity Photoshoot

I still can't believe that this baby is going to be a girl. Honestly, I can't imagine our life with a little fashionista (because you know she will take after her mama). But at the same time, I can't wait to make her little bows and headbands, buy cutest dresses and match with her brother. 

Being 34 weeks, it's becoming harder and harder to find something to wear. I cannot wear skirts and practically live in my maternity shorts. But for special occasions, like weddings and showers, as well as church, I'm running out of ideas. Remixing my old stretchy dresses every way possible seems to be a good idea but with hotter temperatures it's harder to layer. 

This dress is a winner in my book - its light chiffon material makes me feel like I'm flying in the clouds. And the pretty sequin top makes it so much more unique - no jewelry needed. Check out more maternity (and non maternity that will work for bump) dresses below.

Hello there! How was your weekend? Hopefully you enjoyed some relaxation and celebrated dads. We had a busy few days and I'm hoping to spend  Monday relaxing (yeah right!?). With baby girl coming soon and us not having anything ready (except a few swaddle blankets), there is a lot to do. I'm not trying to rush the time and hoping she doesn't come too early (or late for that matter). So between cleaning out the garage, putting together furniture for the kids' room and making some frozen meals, I have the next month planned out. It's going to be one busy summer, that's for sure!

Happy Father's Day

Every year, Father's Day is sort of a bitter sweet holiday. I'm saddened by the fact that my own father wants nothing to do with me, at the same time so very happy to see my own husband become an amazing dad. I think our culture under appreciates fathers and those who carry on the roles of dads. We put a lot of emphasis on mothers and what they do, but the male role in the family gets overlooked more times than not. 

Fathers are not just a half of the embryo equation but truly most important people in children's lives. I think it's time we placed fathers into the position they should be. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, but I wonder how many fathers would pick up the slack and do their part if only we, mothers, give them a chance. If we respect father's opinion on what the children should do, where they go and how they behave without constant critique, they we will be more involved in their children's lives. And isn't that what we all want? A father who is present and an active caretaker of his children, not just an occasional babysitter. 

So this father's day, I'm happy to see my family grow with another munchkin, knowing that she will be loved, disciplined, spoiled and cared for by her daddy. Although we may disagree on things sometimes, only because I'm a mother my voice doesn't trump his, and vice versa. 

I hope you take time this weekend to thank and honors fathers or those who play a role of a father in your life, or your children's lives. 

Happy Father's day to you dads!
