#ad Sailing into a new week and a new month! @landsend just released this limited-edition Squall anorak and it was perfect for our sailboat adventure in @doorcounty. This classic jacket is waterproof and windproof which is so nice for the changing season here in the midwest. It also comes in two colors and has plenty of zippered pockets (which is a must for me).

Click the link in my bio to shop the full Squall collection at Lands' End!

My mom texted me this morning “Happy October! You are going to have a baby next month!” It’s so crazy and exciting that she’ll be here soon. 🩷 I can’t wait to meet her, but I’m also soaking in these final weeks with the bump. #blessings

#ad I’m getting my hospital bag ready, and one thing I’m definitely packing is the @larken_shop Larken X hands-free pumping and nursing bra. I love that this bra is is so comfortable to wear with a smooth stretchy fabric. It also doesn’t have any clippers or zips so it’s really easy to use.

This bra is really designed to be worn throughout all stages of motherhood. I love that I can wear this to the gym as a traditional sports bra.

Head to the link in my bio to learn more about Larken.

Falling in love with this new season. 🍁🍂🍎🧡🎃 🏈

I’ll be honest fall used to be my least favorite season. I’m a summer girl so saying goodbye to warm weather and days at the beach isn’t easy. But, a lot of special things have happened to me in the fall…I adopted Wrigley, I met Cory, we got engaged, and now we’re expecting a little one this fall. This season is all about change and I’m ready for it.

Thoughts, prayers and/or good wishes are greatly appreciated for my dad today. In case you missed it, he was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma earlier this year.

Today he’s undergoing a stem cell transplant which isn’t an easy process. We’re praying this stem cell transplant is successful and will push the cancer into a deep remission.

My family truly appreciates your well wishes today and in the weeks to come. Thank you friends❤️
