Happy weekend. Honestly we have nothing planned but cleaning, organizing and working. As a chronic procrastinator it is taking every fiber of my being to finish up almost a month’s worth of work ahead of time, but I know I’ll be happy I did. Hospital bags are packed and baby clothes are clean, folded and put away, the rest I just have to let it go (however I will continue to clean like a maniac everyday until I go into labor, haha!). Hope all of you have a great weekend.

Why people don’t like it when you try to change for the better.
This shop is new to me but they have some great brands and their sale right now is so good (use code SALE25 for an EXTRA 25% off sale). White & Warren cashmere is marked down more than I’ve ever seen. Sustainable cashmere brand Naadam has some pieces on sale. I ordered this white cotton dress. They even have Staub cast iron ovens on sale! Another cool feature of the site, you can shop by cause, including sustainable, organic, fair trade, philanthropic and more. (J)

I recently shared the Almond Cow in my IG stories. It makes nut, oat, hemp milk and more (in 30 seconds!) and has been a great way to reduce waste. You can use code JESSICAKIRBY for $10 off. (J)

Jess, I looked a bit like like that picture of you only a day before I delivered my second baby and I didn’t eat any different than my first one where I gained an unmentionable amount of unnecessary weight . A 10 lbs wright gain for me was too little because I was at the time allowed at least 25 lbs. I lost more with delivery, but ha ha my clothes fit right away! You realize that all of us that follow you and just love you so much are waiting along with you and are so excited. You have such nice followers and we are on pins and needles praying for an “easy, fast and safe delivery. I myself can’t wait to hear about and see your beautiful new blessing ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Lynn xx
I’ll miss your posts Jess but I’ll be thinking of you every day. I hope you will let us know after you give birth. We all care so very much and as for myself I feel like I respect your privacy and yet I wish I could be there to cheer you on! Best of luck and don’t fret. Everything’s going to be okay. Better than okay….. you have this totally!
