I’ve teamed up with Zappos and Hudson Jeans today, mostly for a couple reasons: a) I’ve always wanted to try out Hudson jeans and it turns out they’re amaze-balls; b) Zappos rocks and is one of my favorite places to shop online, and c) Hudson has launched their new women’s Fall 2015 denim line on Zappos, and it’s guuuuuuud. Say hello to perfectly distressed skinnies aaaaand [wait for it] – flare jeans. Yep I said flares. They’re making a comeback peeps. I don’t know if any of you have tried out Hudsons before, but they’re all they’re cracked up to be. Perfect amount of stretch, so comfy, and high quality. I’m wearing these skinny jeans in these pics and I loved them, and I was secretly also coveting these black skinnies and this bootcut pair (you best believe I’ll be giving the flares a try sooner or later here). Go Hudson! Go Zappos!

Happy Tuesday party people! My parentals were in town last weekend. Is there anything better than that, really? It’s funny how you spend your teenage years resisting the ‘rents a little bit and then as soon as you enter adulthood, move away, and particularly when you become a parent yourself, all you want is your mommy and daddy again. Well, at least that’s been my experience. My parents are the bomb-diggity-bomb though so that might be why.

Staying Fit During Pregnancy (#thestruggleisreal)
You guys – I need you to know that on the day that I wrote this post, I literally had four pieces of Little Caesar’s pizza and two pieces of crazy bread for lunch. Yyyyyyyeah. Point being: when I say the struggle to stay fit and to make healthy choices during pregnancy is real, I mean that it’s real for ME, and that I’m speaking from personal experience. There are those girls out there – those pregnancy unicorns – that seem to carry on with their standard, ridiculously healthy habits during their pregnancies and every part of their bodies besides their cute little pregnant basketball bellies stays thin and toned throughout the whole darn thing. I am not this girl…

6 Reasons to go on a Cruise
Sooooo, if you follow me on Instagram you probs know that me and hubby and his family went on a cruise to the Caribbean back in August. In a word you guys, the trip was awwwwwwwwwwesome. Like, beyond awesome. And frankly, every cruise I’ve ever been on has been completely amaze-balls. The Caribbean cruise was my third. Chase and I went on a short, three-day cruise down to Ensenada when I was pregnant with Jack as our little ‘baby moon’, and then waaaay back in the day I went on a Mediterranean cruise at the tail end of a study abroad I had done in London. Hashtag EPIC. All of them. So epic in fact that I thought it would be worth it to share with you guys a few key reasons to go on a cruise – especially if you’ve never been on one before. So here we go…
