I figure if I post enough/look at enough swimsuits, it could only further me on my pursuit of honeymoon shape. xo

Today I’m feeling especially grateful for the ins and outs of everyday life – the beautiful weather, my loved ones, my health. Tragedy hits us all in unexpectedly poignant ways. We never know when a routine experience can change our lives forever. It’s important to savor happy moments and tell people how much you appreciate them. Here are five things I’m thankful for today.
(Spring)
(Love)
(Friends)
(Family)
(New shoes)
Have a happy weekend. xo

I feel compelled to give a little reminder to cherish the ones you love. Until Monday… adieu.
“I’m 8 ½ months pregnant and not much has changed—it’s been pretty easy, I haven’t had any sickness…I’ve been really really lucky. In fact, my hair has grown two inches! [Laughs] I’m the same size, in everything that goes above or below the bump. I don’t really have cravings. When you’re in New York, and you can get your hands on anything, it doesn’t really feel like a craving. All of a sudden when you’re like, ‘Oh, I want a Belgian waffle,’ or, ‘I want a bagel with lox,’ it’s outside your front door. When you’re in the middle of nowhere and you can’t get it, I’m sure that feels strange. My husband cooks a lot and last night he made mashed potatoes with bacon and chives…that’s kind of what I want all the time.” Lauren Santo Domingo via Into the Gloss
Your size hasn’t changed and you eat mashed potatoes all the time? WTF.
After a long week, I feel like I earned a three day weekend. I’m pretty sure I always feel like that. We have a big fundraiser this weekend – a chili cook-off that has grown from a few friends in the backyard to a full-fledged charity function. I’m very excited about it but it’s going to be a ton of activities packed into three days! We are making some decisions on the rehearsal dinner as well…
I hope you have a lovely weekend, no matter your plans. Savor every drop.
