Walking into my birthday weekend like ✨✨💃🏼 You guys, I’m going to be 30 tomorrow!!! Like where the heck did the last decade go?! 👇🏻 I still remember turning 21 in San Francisco and having my first “real drink.” 👇🏻 I still remember feeling completely lost and the heartbreak that came after my first (and then second) major breakups. 👇🏻 I still remember the night I drove off with my best friend on a one way road trip to Washington state after I graduated, a wide eyed and bushy tailed 23 year old with nothing but what I could fit into my ‘98 dodge neon. 👇🏻 I still remember the day I got my official business license for my wedding photography brand, and how accomplished I felt after shooting my first wedding. 👇🏻 I still remember the day I met my now husband, how I thought instantly “yep that’s who I’m marrying” without even knowing his name. 👇🏻 I still remember smiling at him through happy tears in the moments during our vows and telling myself “NEVER forget how you feel in this moment!” 👇🏻 I still remember all of the major things that happened in my 20s that completely transformed me, as if they happened only yesterday — and here I am looking at 30 with a toddler, 38 weeks pregnant, an amazing hubby, and a heart just full of joy and gratitude for the journey. . I’m coming out with a blog post this weekend on all the things I wish I knew in my 20s - and how much I’m looking forward to 30. Stay tuned!

Hard to believe we only have 3 more weeks of just you + me. I’m definitely feeling the feels of making that transition to two babies, and as much as I’m so happy for our second girl to come I’m also realizing that I’m going to miss this season with my first baby!! 🌼 . Izzy is over the moon to be a big sis - I just know that it will be a good transition no matter what it looks like. 💛 If you’re a mama to 2+ kids (especially 2 under 2), leave your best advice for making that transition below!

✨ 3 0 ✨ Celebrating my birthday in style at Disneyland yesterday and today, and it’s been SO fun! Despite that I can’t go on any of my favorite rides, since I’m due in 3 weeks🤰🏼I just don’t want it to end!! We pan to go one more time with Izzy, before I let my pass expire. . 🍍🍦 Has anyone else tried the loaded dole whip from Tropical Hideaway at Disneyland yet? It’s our FAV, and soooo yummy! We also ate at Lamplight Lounge for lunch and had amazing sugar donuts with raspberry + chocolate dip for dessert, and those are now definitely my go to over churros — and that’s saying a lot! We just downed a mint julip, and the parade is about to head our way so... 👋🏻💛 . . . . #disneylife #disneyland #thisis30 #birthdaygirl #disneystyle #disneyland #pregnancystyle #37weekspregnant #disneygirl #dolewhip #disneyfashion #disneyblogger

Peeking at 37 weeks like 😍 I see you! Just 3 more days! I feel like it’s going by super fast but super slow at the same time. Today I am rocking a cropped tee with maternity leggings and not going to lie, it’s one of my fav lounge outfits so far 😂👌🏻 . ALSO! We are doing Disneyland overnight Monday to Tuesday for my 30th bday + our 3 year wedding anniversary and we are REALLY excited that this will be our very first night away from izzy for the first time ever. Like, what are we even going to do with ourselves?! 😂🥳 It will be the first time we have been “alone” since before izzy was born. So insane! . TODAY ON THE BLOG👉🏻 I’m sharing a more personal post that I wrote for @wabeautiful about bold fashion + bolder faith. I’d love for you to check it out 💛 This is a good one for those who: -want to be more bold with their wardrobe -want to be more brave with declaring their faith -have ever wondered how to make more of a statement, not just with their outfit -who love people watching Link in bio! 💃🏼

Just reaaally felt compelled to grace your feeds with this sweet face today 🥰 20 months old and FULL to the brim of energy, words, and personality. Nothing is too much/big/intimidating for her - she thinks she can conquer anything she faces. She’s fearless, spirited, radiant, and carefree. . Most days I wonder how I keep up with her. She is a handful, but having my hands full means that my heart and home are always full too 💛 She loves to snuggle, gives free hugs to anyone she can, and is very much her mother’s daughter. . Motherhood is nothing I thought it would be, and everything I imagined at the same time — it’s a whirlwind of emotion and redirecting and stretching and growing all at the same time. But then I see this face, in all its wonder and curiosity and love for the world, and forget all about the hard days...she makes me come alive in ways I never thought I could. . I’m just feeling very thankful to have been given the gift of daughters, and to have this opportunity to know her and love her. 💛 . Now, off to buy all the photo frames because this photo session with @chanellynn__ has me wanting to hang every single image!!!

Today being 1 month away from baby sister’s due date has us feeling like 💃🏼✨ Also this just might be my most favorite picture of izzy and I ever taken, ever 😭💛 It’s so unreal what motherhood does to someone, completely transforming you into this tired, selfless, radiant, happy mess. Almost 2 full years with this wildflower, and 1 month away from meeting her baby sis (my SECOND girl!) - and to think that I felt beyond blessed to have just one daughter! It still blows my mind that I’ll be a mama to two girls, when growing up I didn’t have sisters (but wanted one so badly). . Tomorrow makes 3 years of married bliss, and next week is Disneyland to celebrate it + my 30th birthday. I’m secretly hoping baby sis gets here a tiny bit early so she can be an April baby too 🤞🏻 ..we’ll see! She might just be fashionably late like izzy was, in which case John said if she’s born on 5/4 he can always tell her “May the fourth be with you” 😂 The dad jokes are just dying to get out, you guys. He’s loving it. . 📷 by the lovely @chanellynn__
