The Cannon Adventures: Seattle Trip

Leave a comment

Well, now that the effects of the travel trauma have fully worn off I’m I’m finally ready to share about our Seattle trip. I’m half joking. Which means that I’m half serious. You guys, the highlights we’re seeing one of my oldest friends marry her best friend, watching Elouise as the cutest flower girl, and eating at Biscuit Bitch. So, basically we could have done our whole trip in 48 hours instead of the 5 days of madness. I was so stressed most of the time that I hardly took any photos but we have a few winners, and I’ve put together some of my favorite moments from my Instagram stories, including her walking down the aisle, into a little video of cuteness.

A Simple Shower for Baby Boy

Leave a comment

Last weekend was my shower to celebrate baby boy and honestly it couldn’t have been more wonderful. Just over 20 of my closest friends and family showed up and it was the perfectly intimate backyard gathering. I am personally not much for “themes”, unless of course it’s a kiddos birthday and then I can’t resist. We didn’t have a shower or nursery theme with Elouise and we don’t with baby boy either. That meant I got to have a shower that looked how I wanted it to. Since I am all about simplicity and neutrals, it made sense to decorate with eucalyptus and baby’s breath and a touch of burlap.

Dressing the Bump: Week 34

Leave a comment

This week we braved one more big Disneyland day. I’m talking 10 hours of toddler themed fun at the happiest place on earth. Lots and lots of characters were hugged, a few big girl rides were ridden for the first time, and we watched the live Frozen show (or as Elouise keeps referring to it, the Ana Elsa Show). It was so worth it but by the end of the day I thought my body was going to just power down like a robot with some worn out batteries. I did however plan my outfit perfectly for once. I seem to always underestimate the weather when we go, thinking the temperature won’t feel as hot or as cold as it really does. Not this time, I was finally on the money. I chose a comfy little t-shirt style dress that didn’t hug or dig into my belly, the comfiest sneakers that I own, and a cozy sweater from Evystree for the cool morning and evening hours. Score! Also, I know I’m overdue for sharing the story of how Christian proposed so I’ll include that below. Eeek!

Mrs Seacannon Must-Haves: HALO Sleep Sack

Leave a comment

From the moment I found out I was pregnant with Elouise I felt my maternal instincts kick in. A big part of that was the thought of keeping my then unborn baby safe. There’s so much unknown as you grow a tiny human inside of you with barely any control over what is happening. Then as my due date approached I became even more aware of my upcoming duties as a mama and how it would be my job to keep this tiny baby safe. That’s when I began researching all things newborn and baby, but it only made me more nervous. The thing that scared me the most was SIDS and while there is no surefire way to prevent it from happening, there are plenty of things you can do to lower the risk. October happens to be SIDS awareness month and I was fortunate enough to partner with HALO in their “decorate the nursery, not the crib” campaign.

Dressing the Bump: Week 33

Leave a comment

Week 33 has come, and almost gone now, meaning we have a little less than 7 more weeks to go until little man’s due date. With all the crazy happening in our life right now I’m wishing we had a little longer. Then I remember my sciatic pain, sleepless nights, and the way it feels like he’s going to bust his tiny heel through my skin and I’d gladly have him here tomorrow. Okay, maybe not tomorrow but a little bit early would be great. Ya hear me kid? Well today was my baby shower and it was filled with sweetness. Plus I managed to fit this watermelon sized bump into a non maternity dress, and in my normal size I might add. Needless to say, today made me feel pretty fabulous.
