I didn't expect to find out this way. I wasn't quite ready for confirmation yet that my youngest child also has Stickler Syndrome. The blood work had been sent off to genetics weeks prior, and even though I studied his facial features and saw right away that his tiny baby elbows were hyper-mobile (some call [...]

Henry Update: Home.

After 16 days in the hospital, Henry and I returned back home. I remained diligent on being involved in the doctor's rounds each morning which was often attended by a registrar or two (similar to what we would call a resident un the US health system), the head nurse, his assigned nurse and a consultant [...]

Henry Update Days 1-13 Post Op

I normally wouldn't publish a post unless I had something witty or sappy and maybe funny to write and made sure it was well thought out. But I'm feeling a bit numb emotionally, and if I don't write an update now for family and friends to read, and for Matt and I to look back [...]

Tetralogy of Fallot – Henry’s Diagnosis

Tetralogy of Fallot – Henry’s Diagnosis

I am a superstitious person. Not a, "don't cross a black cat or walk under a ladder," kind of superstitious, but more of a, "it's my fault, because I jinxed it," superstitous. My superstition started in grade school, from something as small as thinking I aced a test but spoke too confident and failed it, [...]

Boys’ Room + Play Room

Boys’ Room + Play Room

Growing up, I shared a room with my older sister. As a family of 5, we lived in a four bedroom home, so there was enough space for each of us to have our own, yet my parents used one of the rooms as an office and moved my sister and I in together. While [...]

5 Favourite Nursing-Friendly Finds

June 10, 2019by Uptown Girl Suburban WorldLeave a Comment on 5 Favourite Nursing-Friendly Finds

Ah, that awkward fourth trimester: when you've had the baby, but your pre-pregnancy clothes don't quite fit yet and if you're nursing, you find that you're either lifting your shirt every one-to-three hours, or you've succumbed to laying around topless, because, well, supply and demand. Eventually there comes a time when you're beginning to feel [...]

Journaling Through Pregnancy

Journaling Through Pregnancy

I am so intrigued and in awe by the process that is pregnancy. With all of my pregnancies (four total including a loss at 6 weeks), I have been diligent with taking weekly measurements (when you have experience as a bridal stylist you get real familiar with bust, waist, and hip ratios!) and journaling weight [...]

What I’m Packing in my Hospital Bag (US vs. UK)

One of the most beautiful and terrifying parts of pregnancy is that no one can tell you with 100% certainty when that baby is going to make his/her appearance. With my first, my water broke at home (in an Oscar-worthy dramatic performance) and baby was born eight days early. With my second, I had all [...]

DIY “Press For Champagne” Sign

https://youtu.be/QrqlQjqdxCo After spending way too much time scouring the internet for a "Press For Champagne," sign to buy, I made the sign myself for under $15 and put it together in under two minutes! Supplies needed: Vintage frame (I think 4x6 is a good size) I bought mine off of Amazon, but any craft store [...]

5 Sale Coats to Buy Now for Fall

I know, I know, this goes against the grain of fashion blogging. I'm supposed to be posting floral and sandals and romantic spaghetti-strap dresses to get us all excited for spring. But those aren't on sale right now, and I strategically build my wardrobe by buying off season items when they are marked down to [...]

It’s about damn time. 💎 #springcleaning #chandelier #cleantok #cleanreels
This coat is sale on sale right now and selling fast! The quality is amazing and it runs large, so size down. I’m wearing an XS and it fits perfectly. Beautiful for spring fall and winter. And if it’s already warm where you are, but now, wear later.
Hi 👋🏼 I’m Shauna.
“Know your colors and know your fabrics. That’s what I tell all my little girls. Honey, I would k*ll to have your hair.” Millennials- Name that movie. #selfcaresaturdays #blondelob #blondebob
Maybe taking these midwestern kids to the Florida Zoo on an 85° day wasn’t the best idea. #naplesfl #threenager #funnyreels
Keep those slushees from melting by pouring them in a thermal cup for the kids while they’re playing. Straw optional. #kidhack #travelhack #disneyhacks
I call this piece “Black Cat Basking.” Those who get it, get it. #blackcatsofinstagram #happyreels #peacefulreels
Flashback to our weekends riding the tube for fun 🚊🇬🇧 this clip will forever be a core memory from our London life. I remember looking over at Shep sitting in his own seat for the first time and thinking he looked so grown up for being my sweet 18 month old. #expatadventures
Let’s call this an early birthday present 🎁 #23 #jordanshoes #jumpman #nikewomen #springsneakers #springtrainers
Why, what do you wear on a @costco run? #shopltk #errandsoutfit #gap #allblackoutfit #winterchic
