VALENTINES INSPIRED GIFTS
Do you buy something for your sweetheart for valentines? We don't get gifts for each other at Valentines but I did request a card and chocolate because pregnancy + chocolate = a dang good combo. If you need a cute card, I got you covered (CLICK HERE FOR FREE PRINTABLE VALENTINES CARDS!) But honestly, Valentines decor/gifts makes me so happy. I just can't get enough of pale pink, red, and hearts so obviously I made a gift guide!
1. Earrings
2. BLAH BLAH BLAH Notebook
3. Dark Hearted Water Bottle
4. Gold Lipstick Mug
5. Candle
6. Heart Dish
Ahhhhh, isn't that heart dish soooo cute??! I need it in my life. I own that lipstick mug and I love it to pieces. I also purchased that candle on our way to Ucluelet and I am happy to report, it smells AHMAZING!
Love you like XO,

HELLO WEEKEND
Happy Friday everyone! This week feels bizarre to me because we escaped for a little baby moon in Ucluelet Monday-Wednesday and now all of a sudden, it's Friday....! But yay for the weekend...oh and if you're blessed to live in BC, it's a long weekend round these parts with family day on Monday! I don't have a ton of plans, which is perfect because I need some time to putter around the house...HELLO NESTING!
- I've continued to pin all things nursery!! I can't wait for it to be April, so I can start working on The Lion's room. (Check out what I'm dreaming about here!)
- I'm also hoping to get some baking on this weekend....these meyer lemon scones from How Sweet Eats look so DELISH.
- With my growing belly, my desire to buy clothes has gone down a lot!! But I'm definitely seeing my need for more open sweaters/shirts that I can throw over a t-shirt. This one and this one are catching my eye.
- All the little hearts everywhere is getting me excited for Valentines Day. Tonight I'm planning on making some cute cards for you to print out and give to your sweetheart or BFFS, so watch out for those on Monday!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
xo,
laura

CARIBBEAN TRIP PART TWO
It's time for Part 2 of our Caribbean Vaycay!! In Part 1, I left you at the part where we finally made it to the cruise ship (after missing a flight and missing the boat!) After hanging soaking up the rays and playing in the bright blue water of Grand Turk, our cruise headed south to Puerto Rico!
We hung out for the afternoon in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As soon as we embarked, we headed off the boat to find a tour. Cruise tip- don't do their overpriced excursions because you can often find tours way cheaper off the boat! And if you research before (we did not) you could probably book some real good ones!
A lot of people ask us if we would do a cruise again. I definitely would. You can actually find pretty good deals for cruises and it gives you a chance to see a lot of places! Oh and the food....soooo good. The theatre entertainment on Holland America was so-so (did not compare one bit to the Disney Cruise I went on) but the music was AMAZING! There was a great classical duo, piano guy and oh my goodness, the B.B. King cover band was sooo good.
After Puerto Rico we headed to Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. Once we embarked, we caught a cab to a beach called Magen's Bay. Oh my goodness, it was one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. We went in the morning, before the crowds arrived and enjoyed quiet time on the beach. I was amazing at the wild life. So many little fish jumping and butterflies every where. Man, it was hard to leave.
Paradise hey?? After St. Thomas we sailed north and had a full day at sea. Days at sea aren't the greatest but it was smoking hot so we worked on our tans on the deck/jumped in the pool so we wouldn't melt.
After the day at sea we enjoyed one day at Holland America's private island in the Bahamas. OH MY GOSH. This was the prettiest water I have ever seen in my entire life. We splashed around, ate delicious bbq and fully enjoyed our last day in Paradise. It was sooo hard to leave. :(
So so so dreamy. It makes me a bit sad that we won't go on a tropical vacation for a loooong time but I'm thankful and excited for the season we're heading into!!!
XO,
