With the change of season looming, dresses such as this TDW Emporium paisley green dress, are a go-to whether paired with heels or flat sandals and even sneakers. I loved these dresses so much throughout my pregnancy too because they are 1-size-fits-all and look great belted over a baby bump. You may remember I wore a similar one in this post when I was full term.
What’s in my Hospital Bag
I can’t quite believe it but we have a week to go before Baby Maroun arrives! We have had so much on the go that time has flown and now all of a sudden, we are days away from welcoming our son into this world. I’m officially on maternity leave but I still have a few work and admin things to take care of this week but hopefully I can also get as much rest as necessary to prepare for a healthy birth.
I had already packed my hospital bag with the hospital’s suggested list of items to pack but I thought I’d ask for recommendations from moms on Instagram if there were any comfort/practical recommendations that might not make its way on to your hosptial list. I had an overwhelming response of so many incredible recommendations for what to pack in my hospital bag so I have to say a HUGE thank you to all of you that responded. They were genuinely such brilliant recommendations that I thought I’d document them all here so they any other expectant moms can use this post for reference too. Here’s what’s in my hospital bag.
Matthew McConaughey’s 5 Rules to Live By
During the week I happened to stumble across Matthew McConaughey’s 5 Rules to Live By which he delivered in a key note speaker’s address to graduates at a university that I can’t remember. My initial thought was that he was an interesting choice of key note speaker but then when he began I thought, wow, this guy has learnt a few pearls of wisdom along his journey. I’ve been wanting to reflect on the speech all weekend and then when I opened my laptop to start writing this blog post, I figured why not share my thoughts right here. Here’s my take on Matthew McConaughey’s 5 Rules to Live By.
