Pregnant Angel

Doutzen Kroes is the next Victorias Secret Angel growing a perfect little baby belly!

These girls are scorned for being too skinny, setting unrealistic standards, and increasing the pressure on “regular” pregnant women to look the same.  In their defense, however, it is their job to look good.  They, if anyone, are under insane pressure to be “perfect.”  It’s probably not fair to be angry with them :(

On a lighter note, I wish Doutzen an amazing pregnancy and that she enjoys every second of it!

Doutzen’s wearing the Very Sexy Push-up Wireless bra ( perfect for a little pregnancy va-va-voom ;) )

I HAVE to have these for Kai.  I know they’re a splurge, but I am completely in love.  Pair them with some rolled up cargos and a plaid button up.  Cute!

(baby) food thievery

The other day, after serving Kai and Sienna their bowls of ice-cream, I found myself hovering, wishing that they wouldn’t be able to finish it so that I could.  As I snapped out of it, I thought to myself, “what is the matter with you!”  I could just go scoop some of my own, but that would mean that I am actually eating dessert.  I mean, drinking left-over ice-cream doesn’t really count, right?  I’m not REALLY eating ice cream if I’m just cleaning up the bowl…Ok, so I am really eating ice cream, and by the time I take care of both bowls, I might as well have had my own.  Those left overs and the calories REALLY DO count.  Conclusion:  If you’re going to slurp it, just grab the tub and a spoon and enjoy every second of it.

Very berry picking

So I spent the week in the North Carolina mountains – amazing weather, views, and company :)  We went to Stoney Hollow farm,  a beautiful, pick-your-own, organic farm.  Plums, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, tomatoes, apples, raspberries, cherries…everything!  Just wanted to share some photos for you, courtesy of Odelle Ramos:
