When you're bringing a little human into the world, there's a lot to be nervous about. From praying he is healthy, to hoping that you won't cause him years of therapy, and everything in-between, it can get pretty overwhelming. But the one thing I know for sure, and am eternally grateful for, is that he is already so loved. My mom, sister, and aunts went above-and-beyond to throw the most adorable baby shower for the little man. Friends and family braved almost 90 degree heat and politely ...
My Go-To Pregnancy Workouts
Life these days already looks a lot different. The early morning, sunrise runs have been relegated to short jaunts around my neighborhood, long run Saturdays have become CycleBar spins, and I have a new-found appreciate for strength training.

Baby Watch: Maternity Photos
Boy meets girl (in third grade). Girl becomes smitten with boy (in college). Boy and girl fall in love, move to California, and get married.

It’s true, I never thought that I’d be someone who has enjoyed being pregnant so much and I realize this is in large part due to the fact that we’ve had a fairly smooth pregnancy so far (**knocks vigorously on wood**). But for the first time ...
The TS&TS Edit: Maternity Wardrobe Staples
Hey girl…I get it. Those pants just won’t button, the zipper won’t stay up, and even if you did manage to stuff your growing belly into those leggings, you’re pretty sure it’s cutting off all circulation and your head will likely fall of due to lack of blood flow.
