Hello Lovlies!

It’s been snowing so much lately here in Utah! Which means more cuddles with my little guy… and we are loving every second of it! Life has been pretty chill, we have been going to the gym everyday and keeping to our super healthy meal plan (Aiden is loving all the new solid flavors he’s been having lately! A good change from the formula haha). I am on my 4th week of my workouts (3 weeks of biginner BBG and officially on week 1 off BBG now) and I am loving them more and more. If you haven’t tried Kayla Itsines BBG workouts you need to! They are a serious butt kicker! I’m keeping strict for 12 weeks then continuing on a healthy eating lifestyle and continuing with my workouts from then on. My goal is to have a completely different body by this Christmas! CRAZY!

Other then focusing on our health, we have been traveling with Dan (you can follow our adventures on snapchat: beccabelo) for work and fun… but mostly work. We do try to fit in some fun time in the busy work schedule though. Aiden is teething/drooling like crazy and is now sitting all by himself.. such a big boy 🙂 .

Well, that’s our little life update haha hope you are all doing well and thanks for stopping by!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Gosh, I just love this time of year! It’s full of excitement, parties, and good food! With all these festivities going on, we find ourselves wondering what in the world are we going to wear? Well, here is a family party look to solve all your troubles haha. No but really, this was a simple and easy look that I put together for the family by using pieces we already owned. Each piece is pretty basic and easily paired with other options so we can wear them more then once (a money saver!). Also, if you haven’t checked out Kingdom and State, you need to. They have the CUTEST dresses, skirts, and tops!

Hope this helps you put together some perfect family party looks! Happy Holidays!

Hello Lovelies!

Now that Halloween is over, we are all overly excited about the upcoming holiday season here in the Swiss home. However, I’m very sad to say good bye to fall. Earlier this week we decided to take advantage of this delicious fall weather before it got too cold to enjoy it. We had some laughs and took in the colored leaves while we took a short walk around my favorite neighborhood.

Hope your fall season has been full of coziness and pumpkin! Thanks For stopping by!

Mamagama Interview

Hello Everyone,

This week I had an interview about my pregnancy experience with Mamagama and here’s how it went. Enjoy!

Please describe the moment you found out you were pregnant (what did you feel).

When I found out I was pregnant, I experienced an enormous range of emotions. Overwhelmed, I cried a bit, smiled a bit, and was super nervous for what the future held. Surprisingly, my dashingly handsome husband was ecstatic! The only one calm about Aiden’s future arrival was Lady. (Lady is our happy little Yorkie… Click this to see pics of her) She is our rock–Really holds the family together.

Name the most beautiful and the most unpleasant pregnancy experience.

The most beautiful experience of the whole pregnancy was the first moment I heard him cry and it hit me that my little tummy buddy was now here, and that I was his mom!

Pretty much every week I had an experience that competed for the most unpleasant of the pregnancy. But the one that topped them all was probably my birthday week.Normally, I love my birthday! Birthdays are like a holiday just for you! I love my birthday week, in fact normally, I love the entire birthday month. But, this time around was terribly different. We had the best trip planned. We were going to Florida to visit some of my childhood friends, my old dance studio and most important to visit Harry Potter at Universal Studios.

If you keep up with my blog you know I love dance. But sadly, I had to retire from performing due to an injury. Just days before the trip, my hip injury ganged up with the pregnancy to make walking unbearable for me.

Not only was I not allowed to ride all of the fun rides I normally love, but also I had to be pushed around in a wheel chair as standing or walking were out of the question for a couple weeks.

How did you announce your pregnancy to your friends and family?

We gave our family a photo album for Christmas, the album had picture after picture of Lady doing funny things. We thought this might throw them off the trail. The penultimate picture was lady with a sign that read “Soon to be Big Sister.” No one in either of our families caught on initially. I am convinced Dan’s mom thought we were adopting a new dog! The final picture was of the ultrasound, just in case there was any doubt whether this was another puppy or a little human!

Tell us some pregnancy problems the glossy books don’t really talk about.

Most pregnancies carry numerous uncomfortable surprises. It’s different for every mom-to-be, so one person’s reality might not be the same for everyone. This is probably the reason some of those unpleasant things don’t appear in the glossy books! For me the fun surprises included random nose bleeds early in the pregnancy, joint loosening, pain from all that loosening, and other random aches. This last on is for new mom’s… not much can prepare you for the lack of sleep the first few months. After being pregnant for months on months, being exhausted , giving birth, you get the surprise that for the new several hundred/thousand hours of your life, you now get to sleep in 1 to 3 hour long segments and hopefully if you are lucky they will add up to some normal amount every 24 hours. (check out the super funny video about the difference between couples before and after they have kids below!)

5. Your giving birth story, anything you want to share.

For the final month I was so done! I was tired of being huge and ready to be finished. I tried everything! I ate pineapple. I walked as much as I could. I even tried a few of the weird old-wive’s tales like ankle massages and such.

Finally, a few days before the due date, we went for a walk around the neighborhood then to the store to stock up for after the delivery. Mid-shopping trip, I began feeling terrible. I wasn’t sure if it was contractions, but it didn’t seem to be going away. At about 2AM we went to the hospital just to check to see if everything was ok. Well my water broke right after they got me on the table and did the examination, so you could say we made it there just in time. That is just in time to wait another 12 hours for the little guy to finally make his grand entrance into the world!

6. Which personal traits do you hope your children learn from you?

I want him to be as driven as I am, and never give up on his hopes and dreams.

(Sometimes being a little stubborn can be a tough thing, but it has really helped me push past obstacles)

I hope he learns to be true to himself. I want him to have the courage to be strong and confident in his own decisions. I wish for him to never allow others to manipulate him into being someone he’s not.

I hope he learns to see the silver-lining in everything. Dan is always so optimistic and sees the best in people. I hope he can learn from that to be a hopeful person too.

Thanks for Stopping by!

The Proposal

MUA: Kissable Complexions // PHOTOGRAPHY: Perrywinkle Photography

Hello Lovlies,

After a year and a half of dating, Dan finally popped the question and this is how it went! Enjoy!

It all started with a girls trip to Vegas (as many great stories begin haha). A couple of my best friends and I planned quick Vegas escape for Memorial weekend. I have always wanted to stay at The Bellagio and amazingly my friends were able to hook us up! (I later found out Dan had booked the hotel for me) We had a fancy dinner planned for our first night. The weekend was going to be full of shopping, relaxation, and girl time…..or so I thought.

What actually happened was, we got to the hotel and started to get dressed up for dinner. I decided to save my favorite dress for the next night because it was going to go perfect with the red lipstick that I was going to buy, and chose to wear a more casual dress. One of my friends insisted on the first dress though. She insisted so much that she went down stairs to buy a red lipstick so I could look just the way I imagined. Now that we were all looking our best, we went downstairs to the Olive restaurant which sits on the shore of the famous Bellagio lake. The waiter took us onto the balcony and I was instantly amazed with the beautiful dancing fountains. But then I noticed that the only table available had two chairs (which was wrong because there were three of us). I instantly started looking for the waiter to fix the problem but before I could even move my two besties made me turn around and look toward the fountains again. And there he was! My most favorite person in the whole world was standing right in front of me this whole time! ( I looked right passed him the first time… the fountains were so cool though!) He told me how much he loved me and tons of other amazing things that I don’t remember because the whole time I was trying to make sure this was real life. But it was! He pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. I’ve been waiting for that question since the day I met him. He put that GORGEOUS ring on my hand and I instantly started crying (I still haven’t said a word yet cause I literally was speechless). Everyone was waiting for a yes, but Dan already knew my answer haha. I said yes of course!

Now there’s a little behind the scenes story that I wasn’t aware of till after all of this. Of course as you may have predicted, the girls trip was a ruse… everyone was misleading me the whole time. And Dan was in Vegas preparing for the night that whole day. In fact he was the one who found, bought, and gave my bff that red lipstick, that I had really wanted to go with my favorite dress.

Thanks for stopping by!

Meeting Dan Swiss

MY OUTFIT: J.Crew // DAN’S OUTFIT: J.Crew // OUR SHOES: Sperry // MUA: Kissable Complexions // PHOTOGRAPHY: Perrywinkle Photography

Hello Lovlies,

This week is the week before our 2nd anniversary; and I wanted to share with you all some of my favorite stories about Dan and me. This story is about how we met, Enjoy!

“Someday everything will make perfect sense. So, for now, laugh at the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.” – unknown

Like every single girl, I have had my share of jerks and heart breaks. Summer of 2011, I went through a particularly hard break-up. Of course, at the time, I was sure my world was over and instead of marital bliss, I was destined never to marry and become one of those old ladies with a bunch of dogs.

I ate my feelings (Chocolate is my favorite) and sulked at home until I got sick of it and decided to go hangout with a friend of mine. We went to a house full of people I didn’t know for a BBQ (which was good because I love meeting new people and needed a distraction.) There, I was introduced to one of my now best friends! She invited me to go on a Lake Powell trip the following week. I said no (I was a poor collage student and that was the responsible decision). But as the day of the trip got closer, she insisted over and over again. So I said yes.. (super irresponsible, but I definitely needed it).

The day before the trip and my friend was unable to get off work and would be there late. I decided to go on time without her in a car full of people I’d never met… to a trip with people I didn’t know. It’s a good thing I was being spontaneous, because the driver of my random ride was Dan.

Just me and three guys having a great time on our way to Lake Powell. Everything was great and wonderful until… the car broke down an hour before the lake! We had to get it towed.

Dan and I had hung out and chatted through out the whole crazy trip down and I really liked hanging out with him. After arriving at the boat docks that night, we found our way to the roof top lounge of a vacant house boat. We told stories and watched the bright stars that night. (So amazing how bright the stars can be!) The next morning my soon-to-be BFF arrived. The trip was one of the best I have ever been on and filled with the best people in the world.

A couple weeks later a group of us went to the Utah State Fair and on the Farris Wheel Dan kissed me for the first time.

Two years later! we took our engagement pictures with that very same Farris Wheel.

I will always be grateful for my irresponsible decision to go on that trip! But most of all I’m so happy that life brought us together… I would go through every heartache and break-up again just to meet him.

Thanks for stopping by!

xoxo,

Becca
