traveling before baby

travel, traveling before kids, photography, california, big surIn April, we had the opportunity to travel to Los Angeles for a family wedding but we declined to go because I was pregnant. I never pass up a trip, but nausea and exhaustion kept me from doing a lot of things we wanted to do when we were in New Orleans, and I didn’t want to travel across country just to end up laying in bed all day again. Even though I wanted to, we never took a babymoon, and we just stayed local for a few weekend getaways.

weekend plans | 4th of july

It’s finally summer, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’m looking forward to the break on Monday for the 4th of July holiday where I will most likely be lounging by the pool and disconnecting from the internet. At 30 weeks pregnant, I’m a big fan of oversized tees right now. They seem like the perfect option. What are some of your favorite t-shirt brands?
