Coming Soon… Baby Girl

August 15, 2016

…another baby girl! We are so excited we can FINALLY share our exciting news! I’m pregnant and due with another baby girl in February.

I haven’t been able to blog much this summer because the first trimester was very rough. All day sickness left me pretty worn out. Add rambunctious toddler in the mix and I’m not quite sure how I made it through. For all of you newly pregnant mamas, I’m working on a post about First Trimester essentials and the things that I couldn’t live without.

It’s getting better each day. You guys, I even put on eye makeup yesterday. That’s HUGE.

For today, I’ll leave you with some photos of Harper getting ready for a tea party with her baby sister. <3

HI! I’M SUZANNE…

After working as a fashion executive for almost a decade, I’m now a stay at home mama to 3 kids and live on the North Shore of Chicago. I spend my days shopping online, decorating my new home and trying to get in a good workout, all while trying to play with my kids and getting the baby to sleep. Mom life is hard, but it can be sweet… XO

8 Things Better Than Wine. 🙌🏻 I shared this 8 Things Better Than Wine. 🙌🏻 I shared this in a blog post earlier in the week, but wanted to share a few here, too. Head to mykindofsweet.com for the full list + to shop my look. 🖤 #thesobermomlife  
  
FREEDOM | This might sound dramatic, but hear me out. When I made the decision to break up with alcohol (wine specifically, since that was my drink of choice), I felt…FREE. No more mental energy spent on that tricky alcohol equation, wondering how much to drink, if I should have another drink, should I have a drink at all, etc, etc and on and on. Taking alcohol out of the equation completely is SO freeing.   
  
DARK CHOCOLATE | I’ve always been one to prefer eating my calories rather than drinking them. So why, then, was I OK with drinking so many calories when it came to red wine? (Not to mention the sugar.)  
  
RESTFUL SLEEP | Back when I would drink a glass (or two or three) of wine while I was cooking/eating and after dinner, while at the time I didn’t realize it, now that I’ve been without alcohol for so long, I can say unequivocally that wine messed with my sleep. As a mom, my whole goal in life is for my family and me to get good sleep. So, it’s ironic that I was drinking something that would almost guarantee I wouldn’t get restful sleep.  
  
A CLEAR MIND | This one is a big one. Alcohol dulls…everything. It’s what tricks us into thinking we’re more relaxed and that it helps with anxiety. (Spoiler alert: it makes anxiety SO much worse.) It dulls our senses, which means that we’re not fully present to experience LIFE. I don’t know about you, but it feels like I blink and my kids are older. Taller. Putting on their own shoes. I don’t want to dull my senses. Life goes so quickly and it’s all such a blur already, I don’t want to intentionally make it more so with alcohol.

Save and reuse your Windex sprayer to help save non-recyclable plastic from entering landfills. The best part is you can get this at your local @krogerco store! It’s SO easy.

It’s been a month since we lost my dad. It feels It’s been a month since we lost my dad. It feels like a year. Today, I felt off all day. So, while the kiddos were in the bath, I wrote this...🖤

So excited to be included in this month’s @sheri So excited to be included in this month’s @sheridanrdmag Shore Vs. City feature! It was so fun + I’ll take any excuse to dress up and be pampered a bit. 😉  
 
Also, in case you see pretty pics + forget what goes on behind the scenes, I need to let you in on a little secret: I was scared.  
 
I was scared I would mess it up. That the photos would be awkward (hey 👋🏻), that my answers to the questions would be lame. That overall I would...come up short.  
 
Still, I said yes, anyway.  
 
I said yes through the fear and I decided to be brave.  
 
I’m telling you this because I think it’s all too easy to assume that other people aren’t scared. That you’re the only one.  
 
I can honestly say that literally ANY time I’ve done something out of my comfort zone, I’ve been scared. (So pretty much like anytime I deviate from my normal everyday comfy routine. 😬) 
 
Being scared isn’t bad.  
 
I think being scared just might be the first step in being brave.  
 
(Oh and also. I don’t mean like “in your gut” scared. Listen to your gut. That’s a whole other post. 😉) 
 
Thank you to @robinsubarphoto + @theresa.demaria.stylist for making the whole process not at all scary! 🖤  📷 @robinsubarphoto

If you’re going through a tough time and catch yourself feeling worse after scrolling Instagram, please know you’re not alone.  
 
Also remember that chances are, there is so much more to the story than just a pretty photo.
