Here’s a quick, step-by-step video tutorial on how you can make your very own presets on the Adobe Lightroom CC app. Using presets are a great way to streamline your photo editing process. When done right, they save you a ton of time and can even make editing a photo a one-click process. Plus, you use presets with the free version of Adobe Lightroom CC app.

I started doing soup Fridays with a group of my co-workers this winter, and I’ve gotten a lot of great recipes. This one has been my favorite, but the person who made it didn’t follow a recipe. So, I got a list of ingredients and tried it a few times while writing down how I cook it. Thought I’d share it on here!

Since I documented my whole pregnancy on my blog, I figured it only made sense to write about Will's birth. I don't plan on getting too graphic with the details, but there will probably be some TMI-type information related to childbirth included in this post. So, if you're not into that, you might want to skip this one. Now let's get to the story (it's kind of a long one).

This post is a few weeks late, but I still wanted to do it to document the last weeks of my pregnancy. Week 40 was very rough on me, but ended with a very healthy baby boy at 41 weeks + 0 days. Continue reading to learn about the days leading up to his arrival.

This past month has been the toughest one so far, and I have officially reached the "over it" phase of pregnancy.

I am beyond blessed to have so many family and friends back home who came to the baby shower my parents hosted. My mom even let me help with some of the planning, and I got to design some cute things for event including the invitations. Everything turned out wonderfully, and I was able to snap some photos of the bash. Sadly, I did a terrible job getting photos at the very end of set up, and when everyone was there. However, here are the few I took when we first started getting everything around.

Another month, another bumpdate! It's been a crazy month, too. I'm officially in the third trimester, and my body sure does feel it now. We also got an unwanted surprise at my last doctor's appointment...

Where has the past month gone?! This pregnancy is going by way faster than I anticipated. Getting sick and doing home renovations probably doesn't help slow time down either... But, hey! Let's stop with the spoilers and get to the bumpdate.

It's been a couple weeks since the party, but I still wanted to share some of the photos and a video of the day with all of you! Better late than never :)
