32 Weeks

April 25, 2023

32 weeks pregnant

While I definitely feel like I am 32 weeks into this pregnancy, I am a little overwhelmed that we are only 8 weeks away from my June due date. Everything is continuing to go really well however, there is still so much to do. At 20 weeks I started sharing everything we need to take care of before June and I shared an update at 24 weeks and then again at 28 weeks. Here’s what I’ve crossed off (or added in italics) to our list to prepare for our newest addition, not necessarily in order:

  • Get Arielle’s Big Girl Bed set up in her room
  • Plan a Gender Reveal Get Together
  • Let our Pediatrician know we’re having a baby so we can get on her schedule
  • Find out if we’re having a Girl or a Boy 
  • Come up with Name Options
  • Pick up a new Dresser at IKEA and get it installed in the Nursery
  • Take the Bassinet down from the Attic and set it up in Our Room
  • Clean up the Nursery Closet to make room for Baby Clothes
  • Make room in the Dresser for Baby Onesies and Socks
  • Get Baby Clothes down from the attic, washed and put away
  • Make sure the Nursery is Sparkling
  • Book a Maternity Session, Fresh 48, and Newborn Session
  • Shop for Outfits for Photos and for Arielle’s “Big Sister” Wardrobe
  • Buy a Baby Car Seat & Get it Installed
  • Prep my Hospital Bag
  • Work on Arielle’s Baby Book (I am the worst)
  • Pick up Postpartum Necessities
  • Plan a 4th Birthday Party for Arielle
  • Get out the carriage bassinet and make sure it’s clean
  • Pick up Newborn Photo Outfits
  • Choose Maternity Shoot Outfits
  • Enjoy Arielle’s Dance Recital and Preschool “Growing Ceremony”
  • Pack my hospital bag

I am sure I am forgetting something so if you have any advice, please DM me!

32 Weeks Pregnant

Still in my pre-pregnancy jeans though they are starting to get tight. Thank goodness it’s getting to be dress season!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Chris If Holly Golightly crashed a Griswold family Christmas, it would look exactly like the Holly Jolly Bar at West End Johnnie’s. 👑✨ 

Alex and I escaped for a date night and this place is an absolute fever dream of festive kitsch in the best way possible. 

From the “Keep the change ya filthy animal” neon glow to sipping spiked eggnog out of a Clark Griswold moose mug in my faux fur, the high-low glam energy was off the charts.

The menu is packed with shareable bites and the drink menu is basically a love letter to our favorite holiday movies. 

Leave the kids at home, put on your favorite sparkly skirt, and go get festive. 

Tag the friend who owes you a holiday cocktail date below! 👇🥂

Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨ We ma Found the Main Character of Gnomevember. 🍄✨

We make the trip out to the New England Botanic Garden every year for this, but the artistry this season is on another level. 

I was completely mesmerized by “The Storyteller” gnome. Between the vintage library card detail, the spines of my favorite fairytales, and the tiny signpost pointing to Narnia and the Hundred Acre Woods I could have stared at him all afternoon.

I know we’re all supposed to look for the Golden Gnome, but if you’re taking the kids (or just going for a highly aesthetic autumn walk), you have to hunt The Storyteller down. 

Gnomevember is @NewEnglandBG until November 30. 

Tell me—if you could follow his signpost to any fictional world, where are you buying a one-way ticket to? 📖✈️

✨ Save this post for your next weekend outing and tag a friend you’d love to take with you!

Who says you can’t mix priceless Egyptian antiquit Who says you can’t mix priceless Egyptian antiquities with a stroller and a little attitude? 👑✨

We took the girls to the Maverick Kings exhibition at the @mfaboston, and let me tell you—it is serving major drama, gold, and ancient history, and we were absolutely here for it. But let’s be real: navigating a world-class art museum with kids requires a solid game plan and probably an extra shot of espresso. ☕️

I’ve put together my ultimate chic survival guide in this carousel so you can conquer Egypt’s golden age without losing your cool. 

From pre-gaming the history before you leave the house to letting them channel their inner art detectives at the hieroglyphics station, there is so much magic to unpack here. 

And yes, the whole thing is beautifully stroller-friendly. Roll right on through, mamas. 🖤

Swipe through for all 7 of my street-smart tips to make this a seamless, stylish adventure. The exhibit closes December 6th, so consider this your sign to grab those timed-entry tickets before they’re history! ⏳

The holiday gift scramble is officially on, mamas— The holiday gift scramble is officially on, mamas—and if your playroom looks anything like mine, we are pivoting hard toward experiences this year. 🎁✨

Looking back at footage from our last Disney on Ice adventure has me so excited for round two! There is just nothing quite like the sheer magic of seeing their eyes light up when the music starts and the skaters take the ice.

That’s why we are gifting tickets to see Disney on Ice: Spotlight Magic when it skates into Boston this February vacation (February 17-21, 2027)! It’s the ultimate way to break up the winter blues, skip the toy clutter, and make memories they’ll talk about all year.

Whether you’re tucking tickets into a stocking or wrapping up a sparkly envelope under the tree, it’s a total home run. Tickets are on sale now—head to the link in my bio to lock in your seats @tdgarden before the best spots disappear! ⛸️👑💫

School might have been out today, but mama’s class School might have been out today, but mama’s classroom was wide open. 🏛️✨

We took full advantage of the day off and headed to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston to check out Maverick Kings: Three Visionary Pharaohs of Egypt’s Golden Age.

If you have little ones, this exhibit is such a home run. The girls were completely captivated—especially channeling some serious ancient girl power learning about powerful queens like Hatshepsut - who actually claimed the title Pharaoh, trying out the interactive gallery prompts, and spending forever at the hands-on hieroglyphics station. 

Let’s just say Arielle has been utterly obsessed with her Egyptology book ever since we walked out the doors! Having my mom along (our resident Egyptophile who has actually stood among the pyramids!) made watching them explore 3,000 years of gold and royal history even more magical.

And the fun photo booth at the end was the icing on the cake!

Proof that the best learning happens when you get out and make it an adventure. Maverick Kings is on view at the MFA through December 6th—definitely add it to your family bucket list before it’s gone!
