Serious props if you can guess what this magical-looking place is.
We’ve never done a relaxing, beach vacation before, and while I definitely wouldn’t have usually opted for one when I’m 6-months-pregnant with twins (because big, round bellies and bathing suits are such a pretty, pretty combo), I’m so crazy-excited about the prospect of 7 days of nothing but naps, swimming, book-reading, naps, meandering through quaint little neighborhoods, eating, naps, and, well, let’s face it, naps…
That I don’t care how big my belly is or who sees it (within reason, of course).
Speaking of which, if you don’t like glimpses of fish-belly white skin and slightly protruding tummies (mine), look away from the following pic, but if you think you can take it, it’s pretty cute.
I believe this might be one of the least flattering pics of me ever, but I love Della’s super-solemn expression as my midwife “listens to her babies” (Della really wanted her to).
Aaaaand now for much prettier pictures from you guys!
Like these Shirley Temple popsicles from A Pretty Life
And this lovely summer wreath from The House that Built Us.
And these adorable dish-towel bibs from Crafty Cousins.
And these pretty tissue paper flowers from Silver Boxes.
And this oh-so-summery back door vignette from Creatively Living.

Is it me, or does Della look like she’s over the whole thing? 😉 I can’t believe you’re having twins with that teeny-tiny bump! Have FUN on the beach!!
Very excited to link up this week – finally got my mudroom bench and pipe shelves finished…except for some decorating tweaks. Need some suggestions!
What a cute photo with Della! Thanks for hosting. Enjoy your trip! 🙂
Abbie, have a great trip & thanks for hosting!!! ~
Beach vacays are my FAVORITE! We’ve managed Kauai twice in 12 years…..and I LOVED every minute! So, I’m a bit jealous….in a good way! You are gonna have soooo much fun! Can’t wait to see some fab pics and hear about your trip 🙂 And, that pic with Della is precious! How sweet! I was curious if you were still gonna be able to have a homebirth with twins. I assume as long as both are doing well, head down and term that you would??? I’m love birth stories, midwife tales & such so it will be fun to follow along w/ ya’….Happy Vacationing!! You deserve it!
Oh boy…have a wonderful wonderful time…I’m jelly, but you need to conserve your strength 😉
MAZALATAN!!!!!!!!! I hope you have loads of fun AND TAKE TONS OF PICTURES OF YOUR ALWAYS ADORABLE OUTFITS!
Thank you for hosting!! I always enjoy linking up!
I believe you are going somewhere in Mazatlan! We’re still up in the air with our vacation, but one of their resorts is on the list!!
Thanks for hosting and have the best time on your vacation!! =)
