We’re just a few weeks away from meeting our 3rd baby boy and I’m making sure we’re as prepared as possible with my Target Registry! No matter if it’s your first baby or not, everyone should create a registry with Target. There are so many perks included in their year of benefits program. A few of my favorites: 1- You get a free welcome kit that’s 100+ value with deals and samples. 2- You’ll receive a 15% off registry coupon to grab anything you didn’t get gifted. 3- Enjoy 1 year of free returns because with a new baby to love on, you’ll need some extra time! As a mom of almost 3, I’ve found my favorite brands over the years and they’re all available at Target! A few things that I couldn’t survive the newborn days without is a wipe warmer, Comotomo bottles for when mama needs a break from breastfeeding, and of course aquaphor to help protect that precious skin. Something new we are trying this time around though, is this baby bath seat. I’ve seen so many of my friends and favorite influencers rave about it so I’m excited to try. Don’t forget to make yourself a registry HERE with Target and take advantage of all the benefits you can as you enter this amazing new chapter! Thank you to Target for sponsoring this post, all

Thank you to Visit Casper for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own. I never knew Casper, Wyoming belonged on my bucket list until I took a trip there, but I’m telling you now to add it to yours! Especially, if you have a family. We had so much fun and made such incredible memories with our little crew. It was the most magical kick off to the Christmas season complete with festive activities. I’m going to go through our entire itinerary in detail so you can get a really good feel of our trip. Make sure you bookmark this page for when you’re planning your visit to Casper! Day 1: Direct flight from the SLC airport to Casper, Wyoming! This was honestly the biggest part of the reason we went to Casper. When traveling with kiddos, a quick, direct flight is the easiest and safest option for us. With overall less travel time, there’s less risk of catching bugs during cold and flu season. I was also super impressed with how many sanitizer stations I saw at every stop on our Casper itinerary. There’s also great signage for social distancing which made me feel really good about our decision to travel. I know as parents navigating life through a pandemic can be tricky, but I truly have no

Thank you to Walmart for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own. Walmart recently released their Walmart+ membership, and I have been loving the benefits! Benefits vary by location, but in our zip code we receive free unlimited delivery with a $35 minimum (some restrictions apply), member prices on fuel that save us 5 cents per gallon of gas at Walmart and Murphy gas stations, and the ability to check out with mobile scan and go using our phones when we shop in-store which is my personal favorite! I just scan as I shop and the check out process is completely contactless. It saves so much time! October is one of the busiest time of the year for my business getting holiday content ready to go, fitting in all my favorite Halloween festivities, and this year we’re also getting everything ready for baby boy to arrive! Its a crazy time of year so we love the free unlimited delivery ($35 minimum, restrictions) on groceries (and more) with our Walmart+ membership. Before trick or treating every year we have a festive dinner called spooky spaghetti. We all look forward to enjoying a fun and yummy dinner before hitting the streets with Kai. I’m so grateful that I didn’t even have to leave my house to get all the ingredients here for

Thank you to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post, all opinions are my own. As my due date is getting closer and closer, I’ve purchased a few items from Nordstrom to help me get through from now through the 4th trimester. I was so excited to find this black founded brand called Ebi that focuses on mamas. Kudos to Nordstrom by the way for carrying more and more black owned and operated brands, I can’t wait to keep shopping them. I have been using the Ebi Oil on my belly every night to help soothe the itching as my stomach stretches to accommodate baby Valenzuela! It is all natural and really hydrating. The best part, it doesn’t have a strong smell. My nose is extra sensitive in pregnancy so even if the smell isn’t necessarily bad, sometimes it’s still overwhelming. I also picked up the postpartum bath soak, and herbal tea. The soak will help my body with the healing process, and tea to balance milk supply and overall wellbeing. I’ll definitely report back on how I like them both! Other beauty items from my daily routine: I also wanted to be sure to include my other favorite beauty items I use regularly. Some are new, and others are tried and true favorites I’ve kept purchasing over the years! New: Sigma

Again, I just want to start by saying thank you so much for all of the well wishes on our newest chapter of life. This baby is already so loved and we feel every bit of it! We survived the first trimester! I couldn’t have gotten through these last couple of months without my husband who took over all gag worthy chores around the house, my mom and MIL who were so willing to help with Kai, and sweet friends that were always there to talk me through the hard moments. Love you all so much! I wanted to write this post to answer any and all questions you had about my pregnancy this far and also document it for my own memories later. Let me know if I missed anything else you had questions on! Q&A: *Thanks to everyone who wrote in questions via Instagram!* When did you first start feeling symptoms?– Almost immediately after I found out, my boobs were really tender, and the exhaustion hit pretty hard. Around week 7 was when the nausea and vomiting started. When is your due date?– February 17th! Which makes me almost 16 weeks now. Can’t wait for our little Valentine to arrive. Are you finding out the gender?– YES! Spoiler alert, we actually already know, and have known for a
