Selfless Ambition

Baby Webb has finally made her debut! And while hubby and I get settled into being new parents, I've got a few fun guest posts lined up for you. The first coming to you by my friend, blogger buddy, and fellow mama, Vonna of Bottles, Bibs & Stilettos . Vonna's precious girl, Zoe, recently turned a year old so she was eager to share a few great mommy tips based on her experiences as a first-time mom this past year. Enjoy and be sure to go check out her blog! ________________… Read more

With this week being the last full week of summer, I figured it was time for a Summer Bucket List progress report. Well...really more like a final report. Although I didn't accomplish all of my goals (surprise, surprise), I did make pretty good progress on most of them. Here's the rundown: 1. Shake my pregnant boot-ay with my ladies at the Mrs. Carter Show. CHECK. A few of my girlfriends (and my hubby, my girl Robin, and her hubby Derrick) made the 3.5 hour trek to Oklahoma Ci… Read more

40 WEEK UPDATE Due date? Today! How far along? 40 Weeks How big is baby?

I woke up around 5:30 in the morning on Saturda… Read more

So allow me to acknowledge a couple things before I get to my rant: 1. I've had a wonderful, healthy pregnancy. And I consider it a blessing to have been able to experience this. 2.

I can not WAIT to wear regular clothes again. I walk in my closet every morning and just stare at all of the pre… Read more

With the changing season, the greens from spring evolve and develop. Multifaceted emerald  continues to sparkle and fascinate, bringing luxury and elegance to the palette... ~ Pantone Totally agree with Pantone. Love this shade of green. And it looks great against any skin tone. I'm still very pregnant (almost 39 weeks) but I'm already looking forward to seeing how my sexy post pregnancy body {insert sarcasm} will form so I can wow my hubby for our first night out on the town as new… Read more

Happy Labor Day, loves! Yay for a short work/school week! I've teamed up with eleven lovely bloggers to bring you a $100 J.Crew gift card giveaway. But before we get there, I wanted to share a few of my current factory faves for fall. I've shared on occasion (or two) that I'm not a huge fan of J.Crew, primarily because of the cost of their clothes. Don't get me wrong...the clothes are beautiful...just WAY outside of my budget. But the factory store prices...I can wrap… Read more
