Where has the time gone! It feels like just yesterday that I was sharing the exciting news about my pregnancy, and today I’m starting my 3rd timester! I truly can’t believe how quickly the time has flown by! I’m working on a pregnancy update post for next week that will include my pregnancy favorites so far and my thoughts on pregnancy so far, but in the meantime, I thought we were well overdue for a little catch-up and it felt like a new “The Latest” post would be the perfect place to start. Since it’s been so long, there’s no shortage of fun things for me to share. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have already seen me share some of these things, but if they’ve made it here, then I promise they’re the real deal.
One: The Best Protein Powder I’ve Ever Tried
I’ve never been much of a protein powder girl mainly because I find the taste and consistency of most of them to be repulsive. After seeing a handful of people I follow, post about the Ballerina Farm protein powder, I decided to give it a try back in June when they launched their variety packs. I had followed Ballerina Farm for a while and am a big fan of her sourdough products, so I should have been surprised that I LOVE the protein powder too. It is delicious and I can honestly say I now crave it every day! I have been using it to make myself protein matcha lattes in the morning and I’m addicted! The protein powder blends perfectly without clumps or chalkiness and it is creamy and delicious. My favorite flavors are Vanilla and Maple Cinnamon! If you’re a coffee person, I’ve heard the chocolate flavor is delicious mixed in with your morning coffee. I love the protein powder so much that I got on a subscription! It was nice to try them with the Variety Pack before committing to a flavor, but it’s sold out right now. However, if you’re even considering trying, I would say you could jump right in with the Vanilla or Maple Cinnamon and you won’t be disappointed! I’m dying to try the Strawberry flavor!
Side note, Ballerina Farm also recently sent me their Wild Garlic and French Salt and I am so excited to try! The Coarse Grey French Salt is my favorite for baking sourdough!
Two: My Favorite Dress Right Now
It feels like all I’ve been wearing this pregnancy are dresses, especially Hill House dresses. It is gettign HOT and dresses and my bumpsuit are really the only things I feel comfortable in these days. (Oh and these faux denim shorts!) But, if I had to pick just one dress as the MVP of my wardrobe right now, it would be the Hill House Cosima Dress. Not only is this dress extremely comfortable, but it’s also really flattering, which I find can be hard to come by! I love how the whole top is smocked/fitted, so it doesn’t feel or look like I’m wearing a tent, and it shows off my growing bump! I feel like this is a dress I will love just as much after pregnancy too. Right now I only own the Blue Stripe style, but I have my eyes on the Navy Sheer Plaid as we start to transition to Fall dressing further into my pregnancy!
Three: Is it Too Early to Think About Christmas?
Okay, I typically am not one to jump to holidays prematurely (Bringing out Halloween decor in July feels criminal to me), but I have to make an exception for these gorgeous needlepoint stockings that just launched for Pre-Order! I am dying over this one for baby girl! Wouldn’t it be perfect? With the price, I can’t justify getting them for all 3 of us right now, but I figure I could add to the collection each year until we all have them, right? They are just so stunning, I can’t get them out of my head!

Four: A Beautiful Baby Gift
If you have a baby in your life or know someone with a baby on the way and you haven’t heard of Atelier Choux yet, allow me to introduce you! I came across the brand long before ever being pregnant and have had it on my wishlist, and a family friend generously gifted me one of their beautiful Carrés, which can be used as a swaddle, nursing cover, lightweight stroller blanket, and more! At first glance, their designs look like elegant pieces that are almost too beautiful for a baby, but when you look closely they are filled with whimsical details that are perfect for a little one! This hot air balloon one is on my registry too!
Five: Skincare I Want to Try
I recently ran out of my rich face moisturizer that I like to use at night, and have been kind of in the mood to try something new! If you tune into my Instagram stories, you know this is my favroite daily moisturizer, but since I have dry skin, I prefer to use something richer at night. I’ve tried products from Rhode before when they first launched and I really liked them, but since I like trying new products so much I didnt repurchase. I’m thinking about getting myself this set, so I can try two of their newer products and also get the glazing milk, which I used in the past and loved!
Well, that’s all for now! Keep an eye out for some new posts from me next week!
