🎉✨ HBD TO ME! Today, I’m welcoming the last year of my twenties with wide open arms — as if it’s the biggest squeeze hug I’m giving a dear friend before they move and I never will get to see them again. Ha! It’s bittersweet and exciting, and bringing back a lot of memories and gratefulness for the life I’ve lived this past decade. My 20s brought a lot of heartache, but also a LOT more joy. They brought fresh starts, after letting go of old baggage. They saw me pack up and move across three states, only to move back again. They gave me perspective about true friendship, about what it takes to really find myself. My 20s gave me two college degrees, two cars, and two kitties. They brought me my husband and my sweet + spunky baby daughter. They were FULL of adventure, full of trial and error, full of grace, and full of LIFE. I’m heading into 29 with a joyful spirit, a steady heart, and huge excitement to make the BEST out of this last year of my 20s living with intention and purpose every single day. 🎈#thisis29

Throwing it back to 90 degrees in Palm Springs last week! Traded it in for 40 degrees in Washington this week 😅 We’re discovering that our little miss does so well with travel! ...except for taking naps. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Good thing we got blackout curtains (thanks for everyone’s suggestions to do so on stories the other day!) for naps when we get home! But out here in WA she is loving the trees and scenery, she loves looking up at the rain clouds (which we don’t get in San Diego!) and had her first official experience with dogs this week. She’s only been able to see them from a distance until this trip, where everyone we’ve seen and stayed with has doggos! She also took ONE STEP unassisted today.....we’re well on our way to walking soon I hope! ☺️ As for how our whirlwind vacay has been: I’ve been really loving being (mostly) unplugged this trip - being intentional with my time and present over plugged in is such a must while on vacations. I haven’t even taken many pictures or videos of izzy, and that’s coming from taking 20+ pictures of her a day while at home! It’s been great to enjoy this time as a family capturing memories in my heart instead of on a screen 💛 How do you usually do screen time while on vacation? Do you unplug, or do you still try to document everything?

I realize that in nearly every photo I’m in, I’ve got izzy on my hip. Honestly I feel like she’s just another appendage with how often I’m holding her! And I don’t mind it 💕 One day she will be too heavy and too big for me to tote around like this, and I know I will be wishing for these days I’m in right now to be back again. I heard something that really hit home for me on a podcast the other week: to allow yourself a few extra minutes of being a mama to your babies, so that your future mama self will thank you for those “one more minutes”. Whether that means an extra minute of rocking them to sleep, a few extra minutes reading one more book before bedtime, a few extra minutes of snuggles after bath time, or whatever you love to do for your babies as a mom: give yourself that little bit of extra time. And your future mama self will look back and thank you a thousand times for being there for your growing littles, for giving them a little extra love, and holding them a bit longer. ✨ Shop mine and Izzy’s poolside looks by taking a screenshot of this pic, OR by following me on the @liketoknow.it app! 👉🏻 http://liketk.it/2vmSW #liketkit #ltkunder50 #ltkswim #ltkbaby #ltkfamily

🌵☀️ We got back from our Palm Springs weekend getaway on Tuesday, and we’re leaving again on Monday for another trip!! This time, we will be trading in the hot desert sunshine for some rain and sweater weather in the mountains — we’re headed to Washington state! Talk about a quick turnaround....I’m still unpacking our bags, and I have to start repacking tomorrow! ✈️ I had the BEST time in PS with John and izzy, and honestly I think this trip was the most fun we’ve had in the desert together (and it was with a baby)! 👶🏼🙌🏻 I’m working on a post for #theminiapartmentblog covering the best things to do in Palm Springs with a baby, so be on the lookout for that this weekend! It will have our top picks for restaurants and spots that aren’t super touristy, and an itinerary for a relaxing yet full weekend of family fun in the desert.🌵🛵✨ I’ve linked this dress (under $25!), some of the most fun and colorful earrings, and some Palm Springs approved sandals (under $35!) here: take a screenshot of this pic to shop my outfit on the @liketoknow.it app 💕 http://liketk.it/2vmce #liketkit #ltkunder50 #ltkstyletip #ltksalealert #ltkshoecrush

She’s my sweet little sunbeam 💕 This trip she started standing on her own for a few seconds before plopping onto her bottom! I have a feeling it won’t be long before we have a walker....yikes! #izzyjuneallegri

☀️💦 Izzy’s face whenever someone came up to us to say how cute she is. Celebrating 9 months of sass! #izzyjuneallegri
