Daisy’s Minimal Bohemian Baby Room Reveal

Now that Daisy is 7 months I figured it’s a perfect time to share her room reveal lolllll.

I think pregnancy, postpartum and pandemic seriously took so much of my energy it was difficult to do anything on a timeline. I’m trying to be better about sharing things that I love without the pressure of them being perfect, so here we are. Better late than never, better done than perfect, right?

Friends!

I am literally always so behind on the gift-getting & gift-giving & gift-guiding I thought I’d get a head start this year.

2020 has been absolutely bonkers & I am sure we are all looking forward to spending the time we can with those we are able, whether in person or in spirit. I made this list because I want you to spend even less time wondering what to buy, and more time focusing on the things that matter most. I’m also aware monetary gifts are totally off the table for some because of budget constraints, so I’ve included a few ideas for making gifts as well.

My Pregnancy Favorites— From Books to Clothes & Everything in Between

I’m officially 39 weeks + 1 day & it is crunch time. I’ve been pretty silent on the blog, because being in quarantine has felt like one long Groundhog Day situation. But since we are so close to meeting this little girl, I thought I’d share a few of the resources that have been helpful over the last 9 months. Today I’m sharing my pregnancy favorites— books, clothes, apps, our birthing class & everything in between.

Surprise! Baby Waldow is Coming

I cannot believe I am sitting here, at my desk, hours away from taking the photos you see in the post right now, telling this story. I mean, I can believe it because I always hoped for it, but it is still very, very surreal. I shared a little background on Instagram Friday, which you can read right here. I wanted to share a fuller version of how we found out, how I’m feeling, and the reality of being pregnant after two losses.

A Decade of SteveKat

This was originally posted on instagram, but I wanted to share it here for my blog fam who aren’t on social.

It was 2010 when we started dating. We were both 22, very serious very quickly, but didn’t get married until almost 27, which I recognize is still very young. I remember being “ready” to get married a year after we began dating, and it always felt so far away. We didn’t have the money, or the resources, or the individual direction we needed, so we waited. As hard as it was, I’m always so grateful we didn’t rush.

Hi, friends!

So excited to jump in today to share my recent trip with Blessed is She to Ireland for their Shine retreat. If you haven’t had a chance to go to one of their retreats I would so recommend it. It’s a beautiful weekend of prayer, scripture, worship, adoration, mass & community with other women of every age and from all walks of life. You can check out their full schedule for 2020 as they add dates & locations here. Here are a few highlights from my week in Ireland.
