It's a ....

This weekend was very joyous. We found out that it's A BOY! 

A little man is on the way and this mama has a lot to prepare for. You see, I have been surrounded by girls all my life. I have one sister, all the cousins that we grew up with are girls, I have three aunts that I am fairly close with. It was kind of closed girl society growing up - we shared everything, from clothes to first boy stories. 

And now, I have a boy on the way.

I am a very girly girl, so having a boy around here will be different. But I knew it was going to be a boy so it's not a surprise for me. 

Hubby and I are very happy that he is healthy and everything is going great. 

Let the planning begin.

The Day

So today is the day. The day we find out who w are having. I can't wait! 

We are planning a little get together with our families to reveal who we are having. Everyone will have to chose a cupcake with topper you think the baby is going to be (boy or girl) and then bite into it to see the color. It's going to be so much fun! 

So what's your guess?
You are going to have to wait to find out...

P.S. We are up to 10,000 views and counting... Thank you all for reading sharing! 

Motherhood of Traveling Pants

Remember that movie "Sisterhood of Traveling Pants"? I think it was a great idea, from financial stand point. Someone needs to come up with store or online shopping site where pregnant women can exchange, sell and buy clothes. I mean, I want to look good and stylish yet I don't want to spend a lot of money on my maternity clothes.
There are other women who feel the same way, and this short period of time still deserves some attention. It would be great to have a place where you can borrow or even buy stylish maternity clothes of all sizes and then return them or sell back.
Maybe that's my calling in life? Or do they already have that? But for now I'm just going to have to go on a hunt for some cute maternity wear or start buying bigger clothes.
And this time I actually need them.

Layered Up

I love fall. With its crispy, sunny mornings and hot tea with honey. Layering up those cardigans and then some, with the very best pair of pants I have ever owed. 

They have polka dots. Yeeeek!

Fall is so charming...

 It's the mixing of those solid hues and putting on a scarf. 

It's the bright orange and yellow leaves that just take your breath away. 

It's the fresh smell of apple crisp in the oven and zucchini muffins. 

It's the quiet evenings at home with hot cider in hand and the come back of my favorite shows, currently Suits and Parenthood.
Also, it's the warm wool socks that my grandma made for me that I put on the moment I get home.
Stay warm and have a great day!

One Shirt - Two Ways

Ever since the baby started kicking and moving around inside my belly, he just doesn't quiet down. Especially, when I'm hungry. He's giving me some good kicks if I haven't eaten in about five hours and letting me know that hey, it's lunch time. 

There is no doubt this kid will blend well in our family - we like our food, he seems too. He especially seem to like chicken quesadillas with spicy salsa. That's been the craving as of late. So while you are reading this post and updating your Facebook status, I'm going to make myself another quesadilla.

P.S. I love stripes. They are just so universal and very practical. You can pair them with everything from jeans to skirts (case and point).
