Maternity Clothing For Tall Women!

Hi there! I know that it has been a hot minute since I last posted so I thought I would hop on here and share what has been going on. As most of you know shortly after we retuned from California I started contracting super bad and ended up in labor and delivery at 33 weeks. They gave me a shot and loads of water to stop the contractions and then sent me on my way. Fast forward to 37 weeks and my contractions hadn’t stopped, my doctor decided to check me to see if the contractions were dilating me or if they were just braxton hicks, sure enough I had been dilating and had also effaced to about 65% and baby boy was sitting super low. River came into the world at just past 37 weeks so my doctor and I were sure that it would be the same story with him. I prepared my hospital bag and have anxiously awaited my sons arrival but noooooo… this little guy is stubborn! I am now 39 weeks and he is so low that I have constant pelvic pressure and have to pee every five minutes (literally!) I still contract and have dilated more but it has just been a very long and slow labor apparently. He has kept me up through the nights with contractions yet here I am still awaiting his arrival. I want him to come on his own timeline but I am just so excited to see and hold him, he has been giving me so many false alarms for so long that I have become so anxious and impatient haha… has anyone else experienced this? Hopefully the next post I write for you all will be my birth story and me holding my little nugget!

Ok so onto this post, first of all raise your hand if you are tall or just have longer legs and have one heck of a time finding maternity clothing for your longer proportions?! (insert a million raised hand emoji’s here) When I was pregnant with River I didn’t pop until three weeks before she was born and even when I popped I hardly looked pregnant, but now that this is my fifth pregnancy I popped much sooner with him at 26 weeks than I did with river. Ive always envied the adorable pregnant fashions and how cute women look in them, but for me this meant a lot of frustration trying to find maternity clothing to fit my 6’1″ frame. I started searching around and found long tall sally maternity pants and leggings. Guys! I have lived in my black maternity leggings since 26 weeks, they are so comfortable and of course flattering, as a pregnant woman I love clothing that is going to flatter my bump, am I right? Neither one of the tops above are maternity but as you can see the length is perfect, and they will be so awesome and comfortable for my post baby body as well. I have a 6’5″ wingspan that was awesome for sports but now is something that I hate because even when I find a shirt that fits great in my torso I always have to slide me sleeves up because instead of the sleeves hitting at my wrists like they are meant to they are 3/4 length shirt instead. I love that the white blouse is long sleeve and it actually fits my long monkey arms as well! GASP! Ha.. Well Guys I hope you enjoyed the post make sure to check out long tall sally they have a beautiful selection of summer clothes! I hope all is well for you! Do you have any fun plans for the summer?

Mother Daughter Matching Swimsuits!

Hi There! If you follow me on Instagram you know that we just got back from a magical week in California. We had such a great time with all of my family spending time at Disneyland, California Adventure and of course spending plenty of time soaking up the sun on the beach! On this particular day we window-shopped in huntington beach ate plenty of food and then headed down to the water so the guys could boogie board and the littles could build some sandcastles and splash in the water a bit.

River and I were lucky enough to work with RadSwim and they sent us the adorable mother daughter matching swimsuits that are featured above. I will admit that I was a bit nervous to try on this swimsuit, being in my last trimester of pregnancy and having an abnormally long torso one piece swimsuits are usually a no go for me, but I was pleasantly surprised when the suit fit my pregnant body so comfortably! and of course river looked so dang cute I could hardly stand it!

I hope you guys are all ready for summer coming our way, I made sure to tag some of my FAVORITE one piece bathing suit options above for both you and your daughters so make sure to take a look and get in the mood for summer!

Love you guys!

Oregon Coast

Me and the Oregon Coast have a bit of a love hate relationship haha… I absolutely LOVE and adore the eerie beauty of the coast and the cute little shops you can find there. No one can top their salt water taffy and the seafood but I am just not a fan of the freezing rainy weather! Cody and I were married in july and we went to the Oregon coast for our honeymoon, we left Idaho with 90+ degree weather and the week we spent at the coast it was in the 40’s! So cold! This trip River and I went up there with my parents and sister and her family for my mom’s birthday, we had such a great time together as a family, and during the short spurts of time that it stopped raining for us then it was magical. River loves spending time with her cousins, they all loves seeing the HUGE waves that were coming into shore and running around stuffing their faces with candy from all the candy shops we stopped at. We were able to hike around a bit and just really enjoy our time together!

I hope all is well with everyone, and thanks so much for stopping by!

Casual Spring Dress

Dress: DIVI Shop / Jacket: DIVI Shop / Sandals: Sofft Shoes / Necklace: Nordstrom Rack (similar)

Hi There!

We went out to my parents house and one of the first things my mom said to me was “wow kylee you are really getting big!”  lol… she didn’t mean it in a bad way, at 6’1″ and inherating an insanely long torso from my grandma Kerby it takes me FOREVER to actually pop during pregnancy. Now that I am in my final trimester of pregnancy my belly has really started to make an appearance and I am LOVING every moment of it! They have such cute trends for spring a summer this year, I have never been a dress girl because I spend most of my time in jeans and a tee shirt but I think that this cute striped gem will definitely be added to my weekly wardrobe! Dresses are so perfect for the warm and hot spring and summer months ahead they are comfortable, feminine and so effortless! Who doesn’t love the convenience of just throwing one piece of clothing on versus having to coordinate a shirt and pants together? I know that I have fully been converted to dresses!

Lets talk about my favorite casual spring dress, perfect length, cute stripes and so flattering. You want to know the best part? It’s on sale AND it isn’t maternity! Double bonus! Although if you are sporting a big ‘ol pregnant belly like myself just trust my opinion when I say that this dress is so comfortable! I have been so obsessed with stripes this pregnancy psh…..who am I fooling I have been obsessed with parallel stripes for as long as I can remember, so upon seeing this dress from DIVI Shop I immediately connected with it and just knew that we were meant to be haha… I paired it with the adorable “Hold Me Tight” hoodie because I am ALWAYS cold, it doesn’t matter if it is in the low 80’s outside if you add a breeze I am ready to tare my clothes off and switch them for sweat pants a sweatshirt and warm fuzzy socks. So the hoodie was a big plus for me, and the fact that it is now on sale makes it even better!

DIVI was kind enough to do a little IG giveaway with me (@kyleeskorner) they will be giving away  $50 ($25 each) to you and a friend to use in their store, and since everything is on sale right now you can make that go a long way! Make sure to go to my IG for the rules! I will announce the winner on Friday April 1st in the evening so good luck!

I hope that you guys enjoy the post!

Take Care!

Chasing the Snow!

snowday10 snowday9 snowday8 snowday6 snowday5 snowday4 snowday3 snowday2 snowdayCoat: Eddie Bauer / Flannel: Nordstrom Rack (similar) / Leggings: LTS (similar) / Boots: Sorel / Necklace: Nordstrom Rack (similar)

Happy spring everyone! And hello from my blog! Holy smokes it has been a long while since I last made an appearance on here! In my defence though I did get pregnant and dealt with a lot of scary stuff early and midway through with this pregnancy so I kind of have a good excuse, yeah? lol…

I feel like I need to dedicate a post just to being chatty kathy so that I can fill everyone in on what has been going on as of late. For those of you who do not follow me on IG (@kyleeskorner) you may or may not know that I am a little pregnant right now, actually Im a lot pregnant as I just hit week 30 with A little guy who likes to sit so far forward that my bladder acts as his own personal trampoline! He is SUPER active, he kicks and punches what seems like all day (and night) long River thinks that it is hilarious and is constantly placing her little hands on my tummy and giving him a little shake so he will say hello. This pregnancy definitely hasn’t been a cakewalk like my pregnancy with River but we honestly couldn’t be more excited to welcome this little boy into our lives in a few more weeks.  Cody and I were talking the other day about how crazy it is to think that he could pop out on the same timeline as River who was three weeks early, I get a little anxious and a lot a bit excited thinking that he could grace us with his presence in 7 weeks or so! EEEEKKK! Crazy! I promise to go into more detail about everything soon but lets get onto todays post shall we?

Chasing the Snow seemed like the perfect title for todays post because that is pretty much what we did last weekend as a family. In the area that we live in we don’t get a ton of snow throughout winter. If we do get a snowstorm the snow is melted again within a few days time. I am perfectly fine with this because to be completely honest i’m not much of a winter weather person. I grew up in Texas so cold weather is not fun for me haha… however my daughter and husband are obsessed with the snow, so we decided to load up the car and take a little drive over to Stanley and Sun Valley Idaho. We were in for the best surprise ever as we entered into Stanley and they didn’t just have a few inches of snow like I was thinking they would but instead at least three feet of snow still hanging around! It was insane! We enjoyed each others company as we drove and had so much fun playing in the snow, even I didn’t mind it because we had the sun on our side that kept us nice and warm as we played for what seemed like hours. River had a blast and not even five minutes after getting into the car she fell asleep. I know that everyone was probably enjoying their first spring weekend planting flowers and such but we had a blast playing in and hiking around in the snow! I hope you all have a fabulous day, thank you again for stopping by!
