Hey dolls! Sorry that my outfit posts have been few and far between lately! Have a lot going on (as you can imagine)! The baby's due date is next Thursday!! I still cannot believe that the time is already here! We couldn't be more excited! What do you think it will be? A boy, or a girl??! Cannot wait to share the news with all of you when we find out for the first time ourselves! ;) So fun! By the way, how do you like my new do?! I decided it was time for a change, and what a better time to chop off my long locks then now -- this will be so much easier with the baby! I love it! Feels so fresh and I'm having fun styling it different ways. Looking forward to curling it for the holidays. :)
Hope everyone had a great week and I hope ya'll have an even better weekend! Can you believe December is already here?! Where did 2012 go???

I have three weeks left until I have my baby and the hubby and I couldn't be more excited!! One of the must-have's on my baby list was a great diaper bag! I wanted a bag that was equal parts fashionable and functional. When I stumbled upon the Mia Bossi site, I was hooked! This brand is a popular fave with celebs, and all of their designs are so chic!! They don't even look like diaper bags!! I instantly fell in love with this bag, the Mia Bossi "Emma" in Toffee. I love how this bag can hold a ton, and the dotted print paired with the Italian Ruat leather looks incredible! This bag has six separate compartments!! A cell phone holder, two interior bottle holders, diaper holder, baby wipe holder, and a private zippered pocket for personal belongings. The inner lining can easily zip-in our zip-out, and there's a machine washable faux fur changing pad inside as well!
I couldn't be more excited to use this bag once the baby arrives -- it's exactly what I wanted in a diaper bag! Lucky for you, the sweet Janet from Mia Bossi is going to give one of my followers a bag of their own!! So whether you are a mom, mom-to-be, or have a friend that's about to have a baby -- this giveaway is for you!

Three years ago today I married my best friend -- the love of my life! It seemed only fitting to dedicate today's post to my wonderful husband, Justin. He's my rock and I'm so thankful for each day spent with him. Not to mention, he's had the weekly task for almost three years of taking photos of me for my blog! I couldn't do it without him!! It's crazy how quickly time flies, and now we are approaching an new and exciting chapter in our lives -- parenthood! We are truly blessed to have eachother and are beyond ecstatic to welcome our first born in the next few weeks! God is good!
