And the Answer is:

"It's" A GIRL 
Sweet little Tovah Teuila Auva'a is coming this fall.  
She is going to be SO loved. What am I saying? She already is!!! 
Really I have already planned out our future girlie spa days, sleepovers, lunch dates, and late night chats.
But mostly I just can't wait to hold, smell, snuggle and kiss her. I'm even excited to change her little bum and give her bubble baths.
Thank Heaven for little girls. Can't wait to meet you little one!

Swimsuit season!

Ugh most exciting and most dreaded time of the year. I'd say its a love/ hate relationship.
I like to buy a new suit as "motivation" but find it frustrating that you can only find the cute ones online and never in stores. How am I supposed to know if the stripes make me look fat or the bust fits just right?? I usually order one and then usually send it right back. This season J. Crew has the cutest...Of course I fall in love with two that don't come in my size :(
So if you happen to find one IN stores that like looks something like this:

 or this:

I'd love to know about it!
Happy swimming, tanning, and toning to you all!!
