Tips for traveling with babies and toddlers kids We recently took our first European vacation with both kids. Traveling with a baby and toddler is not for the faint of heart,  but it is most definitely doable. This topic was probably the most talked about during my travels; for every IG story that I uploaded I had a few moms reach out and ask for ideas for traveling with littles. Europe was our first 8+ hour flight, but we have traveled extensively with them (as soon as their vaccines allowed us). We got our routine and packing list down. It all comes down to planning ahead, packing smar ..read more

Doll Crib // Bunny // Sweatshirt // Chocolate Solly Wrap // Doll Bedding  Today marks three weeks since little Nicholas was born on a sunny November day. We are feeling a little tired at times, but the newborn cuddles are totally worth it. I still can't believe our little family is finally complete and we have TWO kids! My heart is so full :) Before Nico joined us we did a lot of brainstorming on how we could make this transition easier for Eloise and decided to start off with a gift exchange. We got Eloise a bunny to gift to her little brother when she visited the hospital and ..read more

We made it! To say this pregnancy flew by it's an understatement. I can't believe how quickly time goes by when you are excited about an arrival.  I am both grateful to my body and relieved to soon give birth and not experience the aches that have taken over these last few weeks. We cannot wait to welcome our darling boy who's coming to complete our family.  Hope to share the happy news with you soon. Until then, stay safe and have a wonderful end to your week.  xx, Nicole  ..read more

As a Type A person, planning ahead is my absolute jam.  I've had my hospital bag packed since week 32 of this pregnancy. No sign of delivery any time soon {I have a scheduled C-Section} but I still wanted to be prepared just in case.  This is my second time around packing this bag so I learned a few things I need to leave behind and others to make sure I bring to the hospital with me. My packing list is divided into four different sections:  Mama - Items I will need to make my recovery easier.  Room - Making our stay more comfortable by adding a few things to my bag.&n ..read more

Stroller // Blanket // Bunny // Bottles // Dock-A-Tot Bath Caddy // Shampoo // Pacifiers // Muslin Blankets  One of the many joys of having a second baby is being far more relaxed while making preparations. We were so lucky to get everything we needed for Eloise before she was born so we didn't have to buy much this time around. I did make a few purchases because I wanted some updated items for our baby. While there is nothing wrong with boys wearing/using pink, I was really looking forward to getting lots of blue in since it's one of my favorite colors. So here's some of the things we ..read more

Top // Pants // Sneakers // Sunglasses Hatch Collection has been on my radar since before I got pregnant with Eloise. I actually collaborated with them back in 2018 {seen here} and got this navy jumpsuit that I wore all the time, including my first pregnancy {here}. I invested in a few pieces during my first pregnancy because I love the timeless style so much. I was VERY excited when I learned they would be doing a line with Target and have purchased a few items since. Their Fall 2021 Collection is just LOVELY and I was able to partner up with them again to showcase a couple lo ..read more

Dress // Sandals // Sunglasses // Earrings // Lipstick  Finding a pretty and comfortable maternity dress in a dressier style is no easy task so I was very excited when I discovered Isabella Oliver; a British ethical brand that focuses on being sustainable. I partnered up with them to show you a few styles over the next few weeks and this navy dress is one of my favorite ones. I know I'll be wearing it post partum {hello buttons for breastfeeding!} and beyond. I love the front tie because it allows me to adjust the fit of dress as needed. It is machine washable and fits true to ..read more

Top // Pants // Backpack // Earrings Traveling while pregnant and with an active toddler is a bit of a challenge. I am currently working on a post focused on tips to making traveling with a small child a bit easier; but for today let’s focus on mom’s outfit. I’ve always been a fan of wearing pants and closed toes shoes when going through an airport, the more covered I am the better I feel {specially during the pandemic}. I find airports and airplanes very chilly so I typically dress in layers. During summer I keep it light with a cotton jacket -the like Madewell one I am wea ..read more

Jumpsuit // Earrings // Sandals {similar} As weeks go by and I'm getting heavier I prioritize comfort on the way I dress. When Pea In The Pod reached out about doing a partnership I was very excited when I saw this sweat-pant onesie as part of their selection. It is such an easy outfit and I love I can style it with sandals or sneakers and a cardigan (as seen below during my trip to California earlier this month). Fits true to size and the adorable flower print on the navy background it's perfect for Fall...now if only the weather would cooperate!  Only 10 more weeks of pregn ..read more

Dress // Shoes // Sunglasses // Earrings Hatch Collection is one of those brands that I started to follow long before I became pregnant with my first baby. I love their signature styles of easy flowing dresses and comfortable jumpsuits. I purchased 3 or 4 pieces while pregnant with Eloise and wore them well into my post-partum days. I knew that we wanted to have a second baby so I continued to add a few more items to my wardrobe. This dress is one of those purchases, I got it last summer and I find myself wearing it over and over with espadrilles, sneakers and sandals. As per usual ..read more
