Arrows & Apricots

So, if you live somewhere like northern Utah where it seems like winter is eternal then I'm sure you can totally relate to how I'm feeling right about now. Come February I am so very ready for some warmer weather and just for the freshness of spring to start because like I said, winter here seems to drag on and on once mid January hits. It seems colder than December to me, the air quality is terrible, it's hard to find activities to keep me and my little guy occupied during the day, it's just a stagnant time. While there are a lot of cons to this time of year, there are some pros for me too. The part that keeps me going is that we still get to wear our cozy flannels and coats and layers and really that is my favorite part about living in a place with such different seasons.

My husband is way more in to the warmer times of the year and I know he would rather live somewhere where winter is almost nonexistent but since we aren't planning on leaving this area anytime soon, he likes to keep warm in nice flannels and boots and he looks good (although he isn't a huge fan of being photographed so you get some good arm shots and that's about it) so I won't complain! He is a big fan of unique watches as well so he was pretty excited about the new JORD wood watch that he recently received. He loves the way it looks with his flannels and that he can easily dress it up or down depending on his mood and the weather. Seriously this watch is beautiful and I really can't believe it's made out of wood. The quality is amazing and it arrived in a gorgeous wood box so you can store it and keep it clean.

Although this watch arrived for him, I might have to sneak it into an outfit or two of mine as well. I think it's a perfect men's watch and also looks great as a women's watch! I'm all about those transitional pieces.

Good news! I've teamed up with JORD to do a giveaway! One lucky winner will win a $100 credit to put towards a watch of their choice and more good news, everyone else who enters will get a $25 credit to put towards a watch as well! The giveaway will close on 2/19 at 11:59 PM. Click the link below to enter!

Hey there! Happy 2017! I'm a few weeks late, I know, but better late than never, right?

Welp, in case you haven't been follow along with me on my Instagram (which you should if you aren't so follow HERE!), I'll catch you up real fast! 2017 is going to be pretty exciting and busy for us because we will be welcoming a little girl into our family in April! I am already 28 weeks and into my third trimester and it is crazy how fast this pregnancy is flying by for me. I think it has something to do with the fact that I chase a toddler around all day so my days already fly by but I'm not complaining! We are very excited and glad it's flying by!

I've learned a lot since my first baby and I will be committing a post to my second time around must have baby registry here in the coming weeks and I'm sure it will be so different from the one I posted when I was pregnant with my son but I'll get working on that and get it up soon! But for now I wanted to share some fun (early) impromtu maternity pictures my amazing Instagram husband took for me this weekend when we were up in the mountains trying to get out of the smog here in the valley. I love the snowy mountains here in Utah during the winter, they are so pretty! I'm grateful we live so close and are able to travel up frequently to get away and get out of the pollution even just for a few hours.

It's kind of crazy too how much faster my belly has grown this time around, I am actually kind of nervous to see how much bigger it gets considering I still have three months left! But that is why I've been loving this flowy dress from My Sister's Closet Boutique because it's been able to keep up with my growing belly and still stays at a good length for me plus its super cute for when I'm not pregnant as well! They aren't a maternity shop but they have so many trendy pieces that will work for if you are (because, lets be honest, cute and affordable maternity clothes are kind of hard to find, for me at least) and if you aren't, you definitely need to head over and check them out! They are great and so kind and helpful plus I have a little discount code for you! Use code ARROWSAPRICOTS and get 10% off your entire purchase! Can't go wrong with saving money, am I right?

I hope you have a lovely week! I'll see you again here soon!
