    Sleep has always been a struggle for us… Getting Gio to sleep, keeping him asleep, etc. Even when he was a newborn he didn’t sleep much & I remember people commenting on how alert he was all the time. He’d…

🧊 ICED COFFEE HACK 🧊 Make iced coffee w/o w 🧊 ICED COFFEE HACK 🧊 
Make iced coffee w/o watering it down by freezing coffee in ice cube trays! I use the cubes when I want iced coffee & don’t want to wait for it to cool down. You can add as many as you need to keep it chilled throughout the day! Tom & I take different creamers so I just freeze plain coffee, but you could also freeze your fully prepared coffee + creamer. This hack has saved me this summer ☀️

🥭 19 weeks & first bump pic! 🥭 We found out 🥭 19 weeks & first bump pic! 🥭

We found out the gender for Giovanni & Gabriella, but this time we’re keeping it a surprise! I will say, it’s making it SO hard to choose a name! The number 1 question I get asked— will it be another G name? The truth is, the G’s were totally coincidental. Tom & I have a few names we like, but we don’t feel 💯 on any of them yet. Maybe we’ll have to meet the little one before we can fully decide!? 

Dd you find out the gender?
