Dressing the Bump: Week 24

Leave a comment

Week 24 is just about over people, this is not a drill. I had a moment this week where everything became really real for me and suddenly the reality of having another baby just hit me right in the heart. Like, all aspects not just the sweet cuddles, but all of the bits and pieces. Good, difficult, sweet, and emotional. It really got me thinking about perspective. Perspective can change everything. Sometimes all we need is a different view to see the beauty in something. I once heard life compared to a tapestry and it kind of made everything make sense to me. Okay bear with me here, I know it doesn’t sound very relevant, but have you ever seen a tapestry being made? It’s a delicate and painstaking process and requires attention to detail and skill. Even one tiny piece out of place can disrupt the complex and intricate design.

No-Bake Peanut Butter Power Bites

I have always had a slight obsession with peanut butter. Maybe it started with the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches my mom packed me for lunch or the fact that sometimes she’d encourage me to have a spoonful of peanut butter when I’d complain that I was starving. I slowly became a peanut butter snob, always on the hunt for the best. It had to be the all natural, no nonsense kind that took 5 minutes to stir when you opened it. I go back and forth between a crunchy and smooth obsessions, but I still eat peanut butter at least once a day in some form. Luckily, Elouise is a fan of peanut butter, which is why I threw together this simple recipe for Peanut Butter Power Bites. My current favorite peanut butter brand is Pic’s Peanut Butter, hands down. It’s all natural with only two ingredients, Australian high-oleic peanuts and salt. Plus their crunchy peanut butter is just on a whole other level.

Mrs Seacannon Must-Haves: Tubby Todd Mama Products

We discovered pretty early on that Elouise had sensitive skin just like her Daddy and I do. In fact she even had some pretty bad eczema as a newborn. We tried several different all natural products for her and none of them cut it, but then we found Tubby Todd. Their products are 100% natural and are so luxurious, yes you can use that word for baby bath products. For the past year we have been hooked, and I say ‘we’ because it’s totally the body wash, lotion, and bubble bath that I love to use as well. Naturally when they announced that they were releasing a line of products for mamas, I knew I had to get my hands on them. They sure did not disappoint!

Dressing the Bump: Week 22

Wait, didn’t I just post one of these? Well either way, we are now in week 22 and I’m sticking to my guns and sharing another dressing the bump post. So, there. Honestly, I think my belly pretty much looks the same for now, but inside things are getting crazy. I have felt this little guy moving since right around 12 weeks, but the full on kicks and punches have now begun and you’d think he was an aspiring blackbelt. He also loves to flip around using my bladder as a spring board, so that’s really fun. For the last five months I have been using little tricks to keep wearing as many non-maternity pieces as possible, but I don’t think they’re going to work for much longer.

You guys, my husband and I have a serious shoe obsession, and clearly Elouise is doomed because I don’t even want to tell you how many pairs she has right now. I honestly didn’t realize how bad it was until we moved into our current cozy home and had to fit all of our belonging in 900 square feet (it was not easy). In fact we even had a shoe rack by our stairs so we could have a place for them all. Don’t worry, we paired it with a cute little sign that says “leave your shoes please” to encourage our guests to take off their shoes before coming in. So they’ll never know we are really shoe hoarders, unless of course they’ve read this post.
