THREADS // 27 WEEKS

I'm technically already just past 28 weeks, but these photos were shot around 27 weeks.  We had a sweet little date with our neighbors at our local wine bar.  We are so blessed to have such nice peeps living next to us!  I can't remember where I got this top, but I'm loving it more now that I'm pregnant... and I've had this skirt for ages.  It's been fun to dig through my closet and see what I can wear through this pregnancy.  I am about to go buy another pair of maternity jeans though for my last 3 months b/c I just can't wear my other pair I bought b/c the low band puts too much pressure on my bladder when I sit down.  They fit everywhere else.  But I love my jeans, so I'm going to indulge in one more pair. 

Now that I am in the home stretch my body is definitely changing rapidly.  Ive got aches and pains popping up & some super moody blues... But every day is different, so I'm just savoring the good ones, and resting and going with the flow on the bad ones.  Accepting it all as part of the journey.  It's so wild thinking about how different life is going to be in 3 short months!

What a special week this has been... Monday the show we have been waiting on to come out for 9 months featuring our shirt was aired on the Travel Channel. James and I had our 8 year anniversary on tuesday.  We have a very simple day.  We went to the plant nursery, went to one of our favorite restaurants, stopped to see our friends in Boerne while were in town, and then just spent the rest of the day lounging around home.  Oh, and we started the day with the yummiest french toast!  Then yesterday was the first day of autumn, my favorite season, and special to us b/c we got married on the Autumn Equinox.  Equinox's are always special energy to me anyway.  We entered another Mercury Retrograde last week, which I have learned to love b/c of KV from Aquarius Nation.  A time to really turn inward, weed out the past and clean house, so to speak.  And a very special full moon coming up in just a few days... It has been hard for me to focus on work, although I have had to tackle TONS of emails b/c they are just piling up like crazy. 

Working on this next magazine issue, I have really been learning to just lay my own timelines down and go with the flow.  It seems as if everyone is feeling behind... It's such a collaborative effort in sharing so many artists creations, writing, images, etc... and without them, I would not have a magazine.  So it's teaching me patience and love of the process.  Good thing I'm only creating two magazines a year!  I remember feeling this way with the last one, and in the end it all worked out okay and only came out two weeks later than I had originally planned.  So I will keep that memory in my mind as a reflection of how things work out. 

I am looking forward to spending time with my family this saturday.  It's been too long since weve all been together.  I am feeling grateful for grocery shopping today and getting lots of nourishing foods.  Ive been thinking alot about how Ive been treating my body the past few months.  It's such a rollercoaster journey with me when it comes to eating really good and doing good things for my body, my one and precious vessel.  It's time I wake up and do it some good again. 

By the way, I love this outfit. :)

Today's outfit post comes with another giveaway!!!  Go enter to win a pair of One Tribe Apparel pants of your choice here.

I'm in LOVE with these pants, and have been wearing them ALOT the past few weeks.  They are so comfy I wear them as lounge pants around the house, but they are also so beautiful I can wear them as part of a real outfit too.  Ive worn them to yoga as well.  They are just awesome freaking pants.  I love that each pair that is sold helps provide education to Burmese refugee children.  I love getting behind companies that are making a difference in someones life. 

As for life lately... today does NOT feel like Monday!  We had our friends from Of A Muse over last night for homemade pizza.  We had such a good time, always do with them.  Stayed up a little too late, woke up in the middle of the night with a migraine, accidentally took allergy pills instead of headache pills, and I am one groggy monster today.  It's already 1:30 and it feels like I'm still trying to wake up.  I don't EVER take allergy medicine, they were James from a few years ago and were actually expired, but I can't stand the way stuff like that makes me feel, especially b/c my body is simply not used it and it's sensitive to most things.  This was my second migraine this weekend.  I think I really need to put myself in check with what I'm eating and doing b/c they have been coming alot more frequently.

The day before yesterday we went to our favorite little town, Wimberley.  We drove around tons of country roads and neighborhoods, visited with one of our favorite shop owners, had yummy burgers & coffees, and came home with a really beautiful rusty plant holders that I can't wait to fill up with greens.  It was a beautiful full moon day with my babe. 

Today its back to lots of self care and tenderness while I nurse my body back to normal.

I can hardly believe it's already the weekend.  It feels like it was just saturday.  The days, weeks and months have just been flooding together this year.  Everything is moving so fast. 

Ive been working on my third issue of the Bohemian Collective Magazine, and each time I begin this process I seem to forget the amount of detail work that comes in to play, especially in the first month, and then in the last month.  It takes me 3-4 months to create one issue since I'm doing it all by myself.  The first month is spent in total brainstorming mode, sending a million emails, waiting for a million replies, hoping things work out, but creating tons of back up plans just in case... My brain literally goes in a million directions.  I can feel my blood racing through my body when I'm in this mode.  It's exhilarating and exhausting, but so exciting!  It's definitely easy for me to burn out quickly though, so my self care is SO important during this time.  I'm really happy that a friend has asked me to join her for yoga class each week b/c I will be looking forward to that reset each week during this crazy creative time.  If I don't slow down and fill that well up I will get sick.  With the way time feels like its moving so quickly these days, it feels like I won't be able to keep my head above the water, but I know I will.  One day at a time.  Creating a magazine is unlike any other thing I have created before.  I'm still pinching myself for the fact that I'm in the middle of working on my THIRD magazine issue!  Wow.  Holy Wow. 

Btw, if your new here and are curious where you can find the first two issues, they are available through the links here.

About this outfit... it seriously makes me so happy.  All of these pretty pastel colors together, the flowers, the fringe, the kimono doodles, the rings... It's like a fresh spring smile on my body!!!
