Celebrations: A Dragonball Halloween
It's never too early to start prepping Halloween costumes, especially if you restrict yourself to homemade efforts. In our group of friends, there's one big Halloween party that is the Be All & End All, and it's a blast to see what people come up with. Kudos definitely go to the cleverest looks, and it's so fun to see someone walk in the door and be instantly recognized as a homemade version of some minor character.
This year, we'll be a family of 3, so its time for our first family costume! Our biggest obsession during my first and second trimester was hands down Dragonball Z. We watched sooo many episodes. It was great to just kind of relax and snuggle my way through a cold, tiring winter in those early months of pregnancy. I'm a big believer in learning to love what your spouse loves, so it was really fun to let him take me on a tour of his favorite childhood show.

Fashion Crush Friday: Preggo Natalie Portman
I am loving me some Natalie Portman right now. She just comes across as so classy, reserved and intelligent, especially when she's got a little one on the way.

Fashion Crush Friday: Maternity Kate Middleton
The Duchess of Cambridge is a fashion icon for a reason. I'm a big believer that she never puts a foot wrong as a general rule, and she was especially great at maternity dressing with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. I know the modern fashion these days is for a bump-hugging, figure-flaunting wardrobe, but it feels a little weird to me.

Escape: Lighthouses of the North
With summer (maybe, I hope?) finally looming, I've got outdoor adventures on the mind. I'm going to be pregnant, so there won't be much room for strenuous crazy stuff. Plus, I've been thinking lately that our time in our New England state might be limited so it makes sense to really try to soak up the local area. Whether we end up moving in the near future or not, big trips abroad or across the country seem unlikely with a little one.
Kind of out of nowhere, I've ended up with a refreshed interest in the lighthouses covering our coastline. There's a huge range of architectural styles from different eras, and there are hundreds scattered up and down the coastline. I just love the symbology behind them and thought that The Boy and I could have a fun little new tradition of marking lighthouses off our list.

Decorating the Nest: Unusual Bookcases
Fortunately, there are a lot of funky bookcases in the world that would be a lot of fun, especially if we could find plans to build our own.
