My Favorite PinkBlush Maternity Pieces

October 6, 2019

Feeling good while you’re pregnant can definitely be a struggle, but looking good doesn’t have to be! I know women have varying opinions on being pregnant – some adore every day while others immediately begin the countdown until their body is theirs again. Per usual, I fall somewhere in the middle. Don’t get me wrong, there are days I am completely over it, but for the most part I find a balance between appreciating the beautiful parts and knowing the less desirable aspects will pass as quickly as they came.

Throughout all my pregnancies, my favorite way to distract myself from the not so glamourous parts of pregnancy (ya know – morning sickness, stretch marks, insomnia), is to build a maternity wardrobe that has me excited about getting dressed each day! Cue PinkBlush Maternity. They were the first site I stumbled upon when I found out I was pregnant with Palmer and I’ve added new Pink Blush pieces to my collection with each subsequent pregnancy. One pregnancy style I hadn’t tried until now was the romper. My hesitation was that it wouldn’t fit correctly, but last week PinkBlush gifted me this piece and I’m obsessed!

  • umm – HELLO pockets!
  • 29 weeks and counting

Have you worn a maternity romper? Drop me how you’d style this one for fall in the comments below.

As far as maternity clothes go, I have found that PinkBlush has the widest selection of quality items that continue to wear well after repeated washes. Additionally, I love that a lot of their pieces can be worn postpartum and they even have nursing-friendly options. Keep scrolling for additional PinkBlush pieces I wear on repeat!

Legitimately one of my favorite maternity pieces ever is this grey bell-sleeve top.

Recently bought this PinkBlush red and white checkered kimono – perfect for all things fall!

Terrible photo quality, but this was the first PinkBlush maternity dress I purchased (and my first bump shot)! This piece is still in my maternity rotation; it’s perfect for all stages of pregnancy and pairs well with a blazer (in any color) for the office.

  • Halloween 2017 – Pregnant with Kedz
  • September 2019 – same dress, pregnant with baby girl no. 3
These leggings from PinkBlush are fleece lined and a necessity for any mamas having a winter baby.
  • This off-the-shoulder dress is so versatile
  • These pics are from the same day, but I often throw this dress on with tennis shoes and rock a top knot for a super casual look.

Stay tuned – I will be sure to update this post as I come across more photos in PinkBlush pieces. I am standing up in a wedding in November and purchased my bridesmaid dress from PinkBlush – I can’t wait to show you all what the finished look on that day turns out to be!

From first pool splashes to perfected strokes - these little swimmers have really progressed. 

Living on the lake means water safety is not an option, and we’re so grateful to @goldfishswim_clarkston for giving our girls the skills (and confidence) they need. Our lessons have led to big progress for them and major peace of mind for me!

This year, our girls proudly took the Goldfish Swim School’s Safer Swimmer Pledge-a fun, interactive way to reinforce essential water safety habits. The pledge teaches kids to always swim with an adult, wear life jackets when needed, and never swim alone. It’s a simple yet powerful way to keep water safety practices top of mind! 

Take the pledge digitally today at https://goldfishswimschool.com/safer-swimmer-pledge/ for your chance to win! And keep an eye on my Instagram for an upcoming Safer Swimmer Swag Bag Giveaway!

so much more than a lions game (and a quinn xcii s so much more than a lions game (and a quinn xcii set 😆).

I grew up going to the silverdome - My Uncle Kerry and Aunt Barb had season tickets and would take me and my brother regularly - they even let me tag along during the years I spent obsessed with Dan Marino and the Miami Dolphins. (Although I’m yet to live down asking why they were throwing garbage [read: a flag] on the field at my first game.) 

As an adult, I really can’t come up with a reason why they’d willingly haul us kids to a stadium - but they did (they must have loved us!) and the memories are among my favorite. I’ll never forget riding to and from in their boat of a car and complaining whenever Kerry made us listen to “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” on the way home from the Thanksgiving games.

My uncle passed in July 2021. Being at this game, when the lions became champs of the NFC North for the second year in a row, was surprisingly emotional for me. I wish he could be here now to celebrate their success, and more importantly to meet my last baby, Tennyson Kerry. I hope wherever we go after this life, he knows I think of him often. And aunt barbie, I hope I did you proud by drinking Miller Lite & checking out all the butts! 😉
