All of my life I've been a one piece or tankini wearer and until the last few years- cute modest suits were hard to come by. Fortunately, there are tons of one piece options out there these days, but I have still always wished I could design my own suit- something modest, but more my style.

I'm so excited to announce that Nickel and Suede's Summer line is here! Get ready to refresh your wardrobe with some fringe, some color and more of your favorite earrings!

If there is a color combo I love- it's red, white and blue. My boy's have a closet full of it and I could wear it all Summer long. It just feels American, nautical and just plain Summery.This Summer I'm pairing it with nude accessories and a cute little man to boot.

This is a year of firsts for our family this year. And I'd say those firsts are making us pretty busy! The last month has had all kinds of big events.

Today I've got five tips for surviving the first trimester and hiding the pizza belly until it actually looks like an baby belly.

Our grass has stayed green without my watering it and I've been able to sport a sweatshirt for most of my first trimester. And I definitely have taken advantage of that. This sweatshirt is gray, graphic, it fits slim and best of all- it's maternity. It's also on sale for about $12!

Meanwhile, we went on our own little trip. Kansas City is only about three hours away from Omaha and every couple of years we like to go spend the night and visit the zoo. My parents and two of my younger brothers wanted to go too so I knew I'd have help- even without Soren. We booked a hotel, loaded the van and headed out.

The 90's are the era that I spent a lot of my growing up years in and honestly I hoped they would never come back. The 80's were worse, but I must be getting older and enough time has passed to change my mind.

If you live in Kansas City, you must come celebrate Memorial Day at Union Station with me and the family. This is my PSA- because it's that good.
