plaid boyfriend shirt

Not to talk about the weather again, but it has been perfect in Dallas. No winter weather here! This weekend we had three days of 70 degrees and it was incredible! When the weather is that good, spending as much time as possible out and about is our main priority. We went shopping at Highland Park Village along with a coffee stop at Royal Blue Grocery, spent an afternoon at Klyde Warren Park and ended the weekend with a family lunch on the patio at Mexican Sugar. All things that are possible when it’s cold, but much more enjoyable with warmer weather!

It has been so nice to not have to wear bulky coats much this winter! With the weather we’ve been having, a plaid boyfriend shirt, a favorite pair of worn in denim and comfy booties make the perfect outfit to wear around Dallas.

nursery reveal

February 1, 2016

After months of planning, we are so excited to finally share our nursery reveal! Caleb and I decided we didn’t want to know the gender of our baby before birth, which presented a little bit of a challenge when it came to decorating Baby C’s nursery. An all white/cream nursery was what I had in mind for a gender neutral nursery, and when I found this iron crib at Bratt Decor, it set the tone for the whole room.

Once the crib was decided, I started to look to Pinterest to find gender neutral nursery inspiration. I found a picture of these darling baby animal prints and knew we had to have them for our baby’s nursery. We added a few touches of gold, some additional safari animals, including “Ned” the giant giraffe and the adorable “Welcome to the Parker” print. The nursery became complete with a great chandelier and a beautiful cream rug, perfect for laying on the floor playing with our little blessing. We are so happy with the way it turned out!

Now that William has arrived, we may decide to add some color, but we really love the fresh look of his room, and it really seems to fit him. The past two weeks have been the absolute best (and most tiring) time of our lives. We’re constantly thanking God for this precious little guy and can’t wait to formally introduce him to you next week!

Well, here we are with one last maternity post! Looking back at these pictures is a little bittersweet. I am so happy to have William here with us, but at the same time I kind of miss that baby bump! Now that I am getting back into my pre-pregnancy clothes, it makes me that much more excited to start a new “mom” wardrobe. Shopping has never been so much fun, now that I can actually wear non-maternity and see my feet. 🙂 I have always been drawn to more feminine pieces and would rather splurge on dresses than everyday basics. But, I have a feeling with my new role I will be building out an everyday wardrobe of basic pieces that can mix and match- and that don’t have to be dry cleaned!

Now that we are settled at home, I am so excited to share William’s nursery with you next week, and his newborn pictures along with his birth story shortly after that! Sorry for the delay, but life with a newborn is definitely an adjustment and a little bit of a challenge to my planning nature. This guy is already growing like crazy (one pound in a week) and I have a feeling we don’t have much of the newborn stage left. I am trying to soak up every minute the best I can. As always, thanks for following along!
