This time of year has been extra special, not only because it’s baby Sage’s first holiday season, but also because it’s our first time celebrating them as a family with Andrew and Arlo! Meeting Andrew this year was such a blessing after everything I went through in the past year, and I have so much to be thankful for. I remember being so sad last year at this time while I was still pregnant, and emotionally recovering from a difficult breakup. It’s amazing how much has changed in a year! Andrew has brought so much happiness into my life, I’m so lucky to have a second chance with an amazing man who makes my son and I feel so loved.

I couldn’t help but round up some of the super cute Valentine’s decor I was spotting at Target! These finds are perfect for a Valentine’s (or Galentine’s day ;)!) party but would make very cute gift ideas for someone special too. I won’t really be decorating this year as we aren’t in our own place right now (we are temporarily staying with Schyler’s dad) but it was really fun for me to put this together and I hope it’s helpful for those of you looking for some Valentine’s day inspo. I hope you guys love these finds!

Merry Christmas! We snapped these Christmas photos at home before the apartment was turned upside down with the whole moving process. If you missed my last blog post, (linked here) I revealed that we are moving to Las Vegas in the new year! We knew we were moving a little before I made the announcement so we shot our Christmas photos early while all of our decorations and furniture arrangements were still intact. In reality the loft is half empty and most of our things are in boxes already which seems a little sad for the holiday but I don’t even care because I am so excited for the new move!

I can’t believe this will be our 3rd holiday season in our little Pittsburgh loft apartment! Time just flew by but especially this year. I’m finally getting this blog post up, a little later than I’d hoped, but I loved how the Christmas decorated apartment looked and really wanted to share it with you guys! I decided to switch everything up this year and the simple changes make such a big difference. I’m sharing links to similar Christmas and apartment decor throughout the post too!

Our apartment has actually been decorated for fall since October 1st, but it was such a busy month for us that I wasn’t able to shoot photos or sit down to write this post until now! We currently live in an old Pittsburgh loft apartment that I’ve styled with boho chic home decor. I decorated with a few simple autumnal touches that compliment the boho style perfectly and still feel very festive. I love taking photos with my boys for the memories and this quick at home photo session turned out so cute!

We decided to wake up early 4th of July morning to go on a walk in a nearby Pittsburgh neighborhood before it got to hot! We are spending the rest of the day indoors eating some yummy deserts + snack foods, playing games, listening to records and staying cool. I got a little patriotic and made a 4th of July inspired cake with white frosting and red and blue stars! Also, how cute is Indio’s little denim bow? I love our coordinated red, white and blue looks 😉

The idea for this garland came to me one night before bed, as so many of my creative ideas do lol, and I knew I had to make it. It’s so hard to find Valentine’s decor that isn’t just red or pink. I wanted to make something that was a little more neutral that would look cute in my boho chic apartment and it turned out so well, I had to share a little DIY tutorial on it!
