We leave for Tahoe in THREE glorious days. Guys, I can hardly wait any longer. This is a trip my family has been taking since I was 8 years old. We stay at the same house, on the same beach. We have our favorite restaurants, bars, and boats and its honestly one of the most special places in the world.
I remember when I first brought Adam. It was almost as special as bringing him home to Arizona. I was so excited to show him this place that is so special to me and this year we get to take Quinnie! I'm so darn pumped. Get prepared to be spammed with Instagram pictures and stories. Sorry I'm not sorry.
Well since we're headed to the beach, full of sunshine, this gf needed some new glasses. And, am I right when I say everyone loves a new pair of sunglasses? If you wear contacts or glasses like I do, there is NOTHING better than prescription sunglasses!
Happy Monday friends! I hope you're having the best day!

Discount Glasses has been my go to lately for a bunch of reasons. They have a great selection, they make it easy to order (even with prescription) and they are affordable! I don't know about you but spending $100s on sunglasses or glasses just seems like a waste. Especially when the trends change so quickly.
Bonus for ya - free shipping and free returns. What are you waiting for? You gotta get yourself some new glasses. Here is the link to the pair I got!
Happy Monday friends! I hope you're having the best day!

I really loved this dress for our maternity shoot.
It was the perfect combo of flattering (37 weeks peeps) and girly.
This outfit gets me SO excited for fall!
38 weeks and this is my favorite dress. Not quite sure how I lived without it.
Shop it here!
I really do love Sundays.
Almost as much as I love Chick-Fil-A
And wine.
Hospital bags are ready, now if we could convince baby girl to be ready!
Have the best week friends!
Oh hey Wednesday! How the heck are ya? We're halfway through the week and I'm already dreaming of the weekend! We're enjoying our last few weekends just the two of us. Going out to dinners, brunches, wandering bookstores and enjoying our time together. It's crazy that everything is about to change, so we're enjoying our current normal while we have the time.
Truth be told, life gets busy. And in the midst of that constant busyness it's easy to get caught in the mundane and forget to look at the good stuff, the more important stuff. Some of this stuff is actually important and some is just so dang good.
ONE // I posted this on my Insta-stories a while back. I'm super lucky to have amazing mama mentors in my life. In the midst of figuring out what I'm going to do with this baby and how I'm going to do it, I lost track of the fact that He already knows how this will all play out. Leaning into Him a little tighter as we get closer to our due date.
TWO // Never look at Nordstrom Baby when you're on a spending freeze because you'll find all the things you shouldn't buy.
THREE // Younger finally gave me everything I needed. I've told you once and twice and three times but this show is so dang good. Stop everything and binge watch this show. Trust me people. Then, when you're done binge watching, let me know if you're #TeamCharles or #TeamJosh.
FOUR // I Think You can, I Think You Can. My gf Chelsea wrote this blog post and I love it. She's inspiration when I need it the most and encouragement when you're feeling down. Stop what you're doing and read it. You'll love it, plus its short. And while you're at it, tell your girlfriends how awesome they are. Supporting other girls is always cool.
FIVE // Bachelor in Paradise is back and honestly I'm much more excited about this show than I was Becca's season of the Bachelor. I totally dig the drama on this show. It's so ridiculous it's good. But, can we talk about Tia and Colton. I mean she says his name 100x within 2 hours, goes on dates with other guys and then kisses him. This is the kind of drama I live for peeps.
SIX // These grandparents kicking butt being grandparents and these kids who I can only hope influence my daughter. Read the post here.
SEVEN // Carrie Underwood is pregnant and she announced her tour. Talk about best day of my life. And she's not coming to Denver until next September meaning I'll have a ONE-YEAR old, meaning I can go. God Bless us all and Carrie Underwood.

Let's make the rest of this week the best.
Let's make the rest of this week the best.
Did you know August 1 to 7 every year marks World Breastfeeding Week? It's celebrated every year to encourage and support breastfeeding in an effort to improve the health of babies around the world. The theme of this year’s World Breastfeeding Week is “Breastfeeding: Foundation for Life” — a recognition of the importance of breastfeeding to a baby’s future. We've all heard the stats about breastfeeding; it's great for the baby and it's great for the mom. Well, World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action is trying to inform people about the links between good nutrition, food security poverty reduction and breastfeeding.
Let's talk breastfeeding. Babies gotta eat, am I right? Even though we know the positive stats surrounding breastfeeding, there is still a stigma around breastfeeding, formula feeding and all of it in general. Women being shammed for breastfeeding their babies, women being shammed for feeing their babies formula. In a world where we are trying to empower women, why do we keep tearing them down based on the ways they chose to feed their babies?
Everyone always asks me if I plan on breastfeeding this little babe. The truth, yes I plan on breastfeeding. It's been proven to be the best way to feed your baby. But, at the end of the day, I plan on doing whatever I can to feed this little human. If that means chewing up food like a bird and re-feeding it to her, well damn, I'm gonna feed that baby. If that means formula, done.
I think World Breastfeeding Week is absolutely incredible. Feeding our babies should be our number 1 goal. But maybe we should focus on healthy babies and leave the mom-shaming out of it. Yes, my best intentions are to breastfeeding, but my greatest intention is to be the best mama to this little one.
Now, let's chat Bun Maternity and some tips to breastfeeding. Their goal is to provide cute clothes to mamas everywhere, making breastfeeding easier.
Since I'm a newbie to this mom thing, I recruited my best friends and family to help me with some breastfeeding tips. Luckily for me, I've got a plethora of amazing mamas who are helping me through this mama thing.
Did you breastfeed your baby? What are your tips? Tell me everything!

I've been wearing this sweatshirt all through maternity! It's the coziest.
- Stay calm! Go to a zen place in your mind and your milk will flow like Niagara Falls! Literally think happy thoughts because if you are stressed or upset (which is so easy to be at first when the baby won’t latch and you don’t really know what you’re doing) your milk will literally shut off. Be patient with yourself - this is new but your body does the work for you. Give it time and know that you are doing good
- Massage your boobs before you feed when starting out. You have milk ducts all the way in your arm pit (you’ll find this out when your milk comes in and it’s rock solid over there for the first few days!) but massaging really helps get the flow to start and helps the baby want to latch if they get a little teaser taste.
- Count dirty diapers to ensure she's getting enough milk/food.
- Those first few days at home - try different places to nurse to find what’s comfortable for you.
- Get a milk grabber. These are pumps that aren’t really pumps but they suction onto your boob that you aren’t feeding on and catch the leaking! So no wasted breast milk! I got this one: The NatureBond Silicone Manual Breast Pump Breastfeeding Milk Saver Suction.
- Have pineapple juice handy, it helps alleviate mastitis.
- Don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen right away! My first day breast feeding my daughter was amazing but then the second day was awful! She wouldn’t latch, she was screaming and I was super stressed out (and that was still in the hospital!) but I ended up breastfeeding her until 18 months so just try to stay positive.
- Lansinoh nipple cream, trust me and disposable pads handy - the beginning few weeks - you go through a few and the disposables where easier than the reusable ones at first. Buy the disposables here.
- Make sure the nurses put the baby on your breast (kangaroo style - naked baby to your chest (no clothes) as soon as it is possible.
- Take a class before you deliver
- The first few weeks it hurts (regardless of a good latch or not)- I had the pads that you could heat or freeze - they were so helpful throughout the entire time. You can buy those pads here!
- Ask for a lactation nurse at the hospital before you leave - maybe the second day after delivery (have them watch you latch multiple times - ask questions - take full advantage of their knowledge - have your partner/husband there taking notes (helps at home).
- Find a mom group - ask questions.
- If the baby is crying while they eat or having a lot of spit up - look at your diet. Check for things like gluten and dairy, maybe even tomatoes.
- Try different breastfeeding positions - once my c-section got better - I loved laying down to feed. But football was my go to in the very beginning because it didn’t have pressure on my c-section.
- You'll have to have a little humor when you leak or milk sprays all over - or when you shower and for a second think of the baby and there goes the milk.
- Overall - trust your gut and be kind to yourself - there are a lot of changes after delivering and the 4th trimester is constant of them - ask for help!
One thing I do know about breastfeeding is I will be wearing these darling sweatshirts from Bun Maternity. They are so cute and comfortable but have a secret opening to make breastfeeding so easy!
This top is so soft and has such a cute back.
The perfect little opening.
Pregnancy throws a lot of crazy things at ya. But, one thing I'm sure of, cute clothes make the 10 months go much faster. Kimi + Kai has some adorable clothes at great prices and they make you feel pretty when you don't always feel great.
Kimi + Kai has everything from jeans to tops to dresses, plus they have clothes for baby too!
The thing I love about this dress is it works for nursing too! It has a secret zipper perfect for those nursing sessions. They've got it all and you've gotta check them out!
This dress is one of my favorites. I love the grey/black combo with the lace.

I really love the lace detail on this top. It's perfect to dress up jeans.
Plus, it super flatters the bump.
My real question is how do I pose without a bump?
This dress is one of my favorites. I love the grey/black combo with the lace.
Pretty sure this was the last time I wore heels :)
What are some of your favorite maternity brands?
Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had the best weekend. Tomorrow, as part of my 30-week bump date, I'm sharing all the amazing details from my baby shower this past weekend! It was another dreamy weekend celebrating baby girl and I cannot wait to share the pictures!
It's been a while since I've done an Instagram Roundup and ya'll have been asking about a lot of the dresses I've been wearing during my pregnancy, so it's time ladies!
Hey, my secret to pregnancy shopping? You don't always have to buy maternity! Yes, with jeans and bras and some dresses maternity is a must. But, with dresses and tops, non-maternity is my go-to. Yes, it takes some extra trying on, but they fit better and are so many more options!
Let's get to it.
Ps. There are affiliate links in this post. Meaning if you click and buy, I make a very small percentage at no cost to you! Thanks in advance for supporting Everyday Grace!
My favorite preggers shirt.
Whew, that was a lot! If you made it all the way through, you deserve to do some shopping! I promise not to wait so long to do another Insta Update! Happy Monday friends!
Ps. Aren't Holiday weeks the best! Two work days and then a day off! Happy almost 4th of July!

Favorite stroller, favorite diaper bag, favorite sneakers.
Everyone needs a letter board when you're pregnant.
I love that so many of you LOVE Younger! This book is worth the hype!
Already meal prepping my life away with Jo's new cookbook!
Thank you all for your sweet words about my baby shower dress!
Now it can be yours! And its under $35!
Favorite sunnies, new fav sneakers.
My one exception to the non-maternity clothes rule. Gap always wins.
I couldn't find the exact dress, but linked a very similar one!
When I'm no longer pregnant, how ever will I pose?
You guys have LOVED these sandals and who can blame you? They're Target!
You guys loved this dress the MOST last year!
It's true, I love Sundays.
Ps. Aren't Holiday weeks the best! Two work days and then a day off! Happy almost 4th of July!
