SUMMER DAYS | nesting, thrifting, baking, & date night! 

Allison I absolutely love this motherhood era you’re in you are literally a walking ray of sunshine & your excitement for baby boy radiates through and through it’s so heartwarming 🌞💙 I love your channel so much it’s a piece of peace and joy that I can escape to whenever! 🥰

For the zucchini bread, when you grate the zucchini, put it in a tea towel or paper towels and squeeze the water out. That will help with the moisture in the mixture 🥰

For that sweet lamp you need to go to your local hardware store and buy the harp that will fit the lamp. It’ll be so sweet in the baby’s room. Dorene Weiss

Hi Allison! Not sure if anyone else has mentioned or if you have already researched carseat safety, but babies (especially in the first weeks/months) shouldn’t spend long periods in a carseat like the Doona. Where i live they say 1 hour intervals because its not the best position for small babies. Definitely recommend getting a proper stroller, i have the Noordi and am going ti get an out n about for our second, they are great for walks in nature etc!

It is so wonderful to see a pregnant woman not ashamed of her body. We were always embarrassed and hiding under huge tent like clothes and yes even overalls. Times sure have changed and its wonderful to see!!!♥

Really enjoyed this vlog! Lamp parts & kits are sold in hardware stores & will help complete the lamp. Also, some zucchini bread recipes say to wring the liquid out of the shredded zucchini by twisting it in a kitchen towel. Wondering if less moisture would lessen cooking time. It looked delish!

Allison, I am only 18 years old and I don't have any kids so, don't take my words without doing research but I still want to give my suggestion for your everyday stroller. My parents always bought Graco strollers and loved them. I was the first child born so, my mom started off with a one seated stroller. She used it pretty much everyday for two years even during our winters and we have snow where I live. Afterwards, my brother was born so, they bought a double seated stroller and used it everyday for minimum five years but my parents still kept there one seated stroller. When my brother grew we stopped using our double stroller except me for walks with my dolls. But for the one seated, we stilled used in the spring because until the age of 11 I was always really sick during spring. So, I would still go in the stroller and no its not a joke. A few years, later the double seated stroller broke with all the weight of me and my brother plus me using it everyday in the summer months for my dolls. It just wasn't good anymore but for the one seated stroller I continued using it for my dolls until last year because it wasn't good anymore. All this to say, I believe the Graco strollers are quite good and who knows maybe someday you will have a daughter that will want to use the strollers for her dolls as well.

You’ll use the doona on a daily basis. I promise you. The convenience of not having to take a baby out of a car seat, to put them in a stroller is a big win. I still recommend a big stroller for occasional use. We have the Cybex Gazelle which has the option to grow into a double stroller. It’s beautiful, great quality and versatile! We used the doona until baby was about 8 months because he stopped fitting in it and then transitioned to the cybex gazelle after that. We also have the Thule jogging stroller for hikes. Hope that helps ☺️

A cozy Saturday morning made perfect with an Allison video 🎉🎉🎉

Good morning Allison happy Saturday morning to you and I enjoy your channel and you are amazing supporter

Italian Folklore: If you have allot of Agida (aka heartburn) during pregnancy it means your baby will be born with allot of hair. ❤

Lovely way to spend a Saturday morning with Allison 🌺 praying for you all as you prepare to welcome your baby boy 🥹

The BOB stroller!!!! Hands down the best strolller. I have 3 kids. We went thru many brands. Bob wins, especially if you are outdoorsy. The shock system and off road "bike" tires make your travels with the bean unlimited. Worth the cost.

Our uppa baby vista is our favorite! Great durable wheels great for camping and dirt! We also have our second due in September and it has so many options for double stroller or a “skateboard” for our son to ride on while the baby is in the stroller 😊🩵💛 love your videos! So excited for you guys and this upcoming chapter!

Love your videos. One suggestion for zucchini bread is to add a little salt to draw the water out. This could be the reason for it being too moist. Just a suggestion.

Ahh Allison!! I love this so much and I am so obsessed with your content and I loved your baby shower video so much and it was so sweet. You are so inspiring and such a beam of light. I can’t wait to see you step into motherhood with your baby boy and I know that you will be the best mother. You are so fun to watch and I love your day to day life. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

We have loved our Uppababy Vista stroller. It can be converted to fit two seats in the future.

If you plan on going on long walks with the baby I would recommend a bassinet/pram type since its not good for the baby to be in a carseat type stroller for too long. They need to stretch their little backs ❤️

Perfect timing! I am literally thrifting right now. 🤗 have a beautiful Saturday Allison!💝

Allison you look so pretty in pink like Barbie😍🩷. Your son is going to love your beautiful home. Wishing you all the best for July thank you for being such a light✨️!

I have worried about you and your little family. So happy that you and your little boy are ok. Congrats on his birth. Thankful everything is ok and he is healthy. Can’t wait to see you Brandon your son and Palmer.

I always look forward to your videos! You really inspire me & I look up to you so much 🥹 Your filming, camera quality, thumbnails (the way you design them, one can tell how much time you put into it), choice of music and editing never cease to amaze me 🤍 Your dedication towards your channel is unmatched 🩵

It’s reflux. 😅 I’m assuming baby is due in August? How exciting either way. 🤍

What a nice way to start my day! Thanks Allison!

Good morning, Allison! Happy Saturday, and I hope your day goes well 😊 💕

So beautiful i appreciate and I'm thankful for your videos ❤❤❤❤ I love how you are so creative 💕💕💕

We love our doona! But I use the mockingbird stroller for daily walks and such. It’s nice because it can turn into a double stroller eventually if you need it to. It’s also reasonably priced compared to other luxury strollers

For a daily, all purpose stroller I cannot recommend the UppaBaby Vista more. It’s extremely sturdy, made of quality material. Can grow with you as your family grows. It also comes with a bassinet attachment which was a game changer for our long walks outside when baby was younger than 8mo. Please look into it!

Allison, you are adorable with your bump! I love your pink romper

My mom makes a chocolate zucchini cake every summer with the zucchini from her garden and it is so good, especially with ice cream on top haha

Love our doona and we have the Uppa baby with two seat attachment option and you can get a bassinet and little scooter attachment! It’s so nice for long walks and much smoother for walks than the Doona and has room to grow since it is a bit of an investment ❤️

You can get lamp shades for smaller lamps that do fi over top of socket and do not have a lamp harp. Check the inside of the shade and ask a store clerk. World Market and Target have tons.

Uppababy is the best because you can add on to it and it truly grows with your family rather than buying more strollers etc..

UppaBaby Vista all day. Love the Bassinet for long day out because baby can nap and stretch. And it can upgrade to a double if the need arises.

A Saturday video! 😊🩷🌸☀️

we lovvvvve our Nuna stroller. I think ours is the MIXX? we also have their travel stroller which is MAGICAL!! but another option I would’ve bought would be a Mockingbird stroller!

Love zucchini bread! I would recommend it wringing out your shredded zucchini in a cheese cloth because they carry so much water. It can make a really wet bread! Also recommend combining zucchini and banana 😋

Hi! Can you share your little gingham cover for your stroller? I have tried looking for it but I can’t find it anywhere. Or if anyone knows where I can find 🥹🥹🥹 thank you!!!

Hi Allison you look amazing and so happy for both of you. Can’t wait to see the baby room ones it’s all done . Tfs truly enjoy watching your videos. ❤❤❤

The doona has been fantastic for our young, traveling family. And the Nuna TRIV has been the perfect complement for all the daily use cases you mentioned 💖

We like the Nuna Brand, we have a double stroller that’s NOT bulky. And then for car seats once they grow out of newborn, we like the ones that swerve. You’ll thank your back lol

Just had our second baby after 10 years and will say the Doona is great for everyday car use and rolling easily into restaurants. I bought the Mockingbird for our long walks, zoo trips, etc. I love that it turns the baby toward you and as they get bigger you and easily flip it around. I also love the leather detail and how you can pick the color and design of the inside!

happy saturday, sweetest allison! another beautiful, inspiring vlog. much love and appreciation to you always. 🌼💛

Love your videos! You are such a beautiful pregnant girl and you both are going to make the best parents. One blessed little boy!

UppaBaby Vista V2. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for $150 off. It’s so comfortable and such a smooth ride.

Coconut oil is always a great substitute for unhealthy omega 6 vegetable oil in sweet baking items. Avocado, olive, or (coconut) oils are great substitutes for vegetable oil in savory baking items.

Hi Allison! We have a Doona that we love and you will get a lot of use out of yours. My son is almost 13 months old and we still use it but will be upgrading soon. The Doona travels so well and I recommend you getting the doona travel case. It's very easy to fly with and has held up well for us. We also have the Uppababy vista v2 with bassinet. The bassinet was perfect when my baby was a newborn, for long walks. (Make sure to get the screen cover to protect little one from pesky bugs) We also have the BOB revolution B-Flex 3.0 jogging stroller. We use that now for walks and love it! Hope that helps!

Honestly, my babies don’t even like their strollers until they can sit up in them. Those first three months, they just like being carried (I highly recommend the Solly Baby for newborns and the Wildbird Aerial once they get a little bigger). In my opinion, a stroller is a good thing to buy once you get to know your baby a little bit. I spent a bunch of money on strollers while pregnant and both my kids ended up preferring an Evenflo Pivot that a friend gave us. So definitely remember that you can wait on some of those bigger purchases because you WILL have time to make them later!

We love our Baby Jogger stroller! Great for daily walks, etc. They have a few options, which are all very very nice!

We were gifted a really nice jogging stroller with off road tires with our boy! It was the baby trend jogging stroller! I loved it, but recently invested in a wagon instead and I wish I would have just gone with the wagon from the get go! It’s so handy for toting around kiddos and having the room for the diaper bag, and other essentials! I would highly highly recommend looking into the wonder fold instead of just a regular stroller!! ❤

Yes - my elderberry is the healthiest fastest growing plant out of everything I put in my yard! Everyone should get one! I can’t wait to make the syrup!

Uppababby stroller and cybex ❤ they are perfect!

You can get the base and harp part of the lamp at Walmart or basically anywhere. It just goes on before the bulb and then you can put on the lamp and screw it down. Even though the lampshade is a little large it’s super cute!

You can add chocolate to Zucchini bread, my mom makes chocolate zucchini every summer!

I have this feeling that you had your baby!! I keep checking to see if you've posted anything lol... my prayers are with you and your family as we head into August. I feel like I'm part of your family omg I'm super excited for you guys!!

Hey Allison! Absolutely love your videos!💗 I’m not sure if anyone has already mentioned this, but Lowe’s, Home Depot and I’m sure others carry very affordable adaptors that allow you to be able to use your adorable lamp shade with that lamp. You can even choose what metal you’re looking for! I hope this helps!!

Mom of 5 here and I strongly suggest the Bugaboo Donkey especially if you plan on having another in the next 3 years or so. It’s the most versatile stroller I’ve ever used and converts from a single to a side by side double that fits through standard doorways. I tried 9 different stroller brands before finally caving and paying the extra for Bugaboo and then stuck with it for over ten years. I owned the Fox as well as the Donkey and have since converted all of my friends who had other brands and were always eyeing my Bugaboos. And I know it’s just aesthetic but I also love changing out the canopies seasonally. They have such cute colours. You really do get what you pay for as far as quality and nothing comes close to Bugaboo imo ❤

I felt the same way trying to pick out a stroller! I went with a Nuna Mixx but got it secondhand off of FBMP! Such a quality stroller but if when we have more kids and I want something else, I won’t feel as upset getting a different kind. Facebook is such a great place to get lightly used baby products you only use for such a short amount of time!!

Looking at your adorable lamp, I don’t think it has the ability to add the harp. For these simple lamps there are lampshades that fit over the light bulb socket; simply remove the lightbulb and affix the lampshade and then screw in the lightbulb. I’ve seen these little shades at Target. Good luck & love 💗 your channel!!

Hi Allison! I have so much zucchini that is a great idea. Would you mind letting us know what shampoo and conditioner you use? I'm in the market for some and your hair always looks livevly. TIA!

If you want to be in nature etc look into Thule strollers. We have the Chariot cross 2 for biking, skiing and thule urban glide for running and hiking (expensive i know but such Great quality products) 😊

❤ Zucchini bread looks good!! Next time don’t put nuts in it, you do what I do with recipes I add things Or substitute some things. Just have fun with food It doesn’t have to be perfect 🌺

I love your videos so so much, congratulations on the little bundle of joy! Sending blessings from England ❤

In that cozy corner, add a shelf or a hook to put the diaper bag! That way if you’re running out of the house, all the baby stuff is in 1 place.

you can add chocolate chips to your zucchini bread. :) i make this a lot for farmer's market and it's a huge hit. i also add blueberries to make a blueberry zucchini bread which makes a nice breakfast.

I love your desktop wallpapers so much!! I’ve used them every month since you started making them, they help keep my computer tidy and cute! 🥰

I love your outfit love the color💜 I know there's more then 1 recipe on zucchini bread but the one I use has a powdered sugar on top with chopped walnuts. But you can delete the nuts too. So many recipes but much love to you ❤️

Wow, Ive never heard of a sweet zucchini bread. I make mine salty with cheese. But yeah, it's gonna be wet without getting the extra water out first🙂

Hi Allison! I am getting married next year and plan to go to Italy for our honeymoon and would love a budget breakdown of how much it cost and how you planned it!

As a girly with nearly 20 years of acid reflux, I feel your pain on a restricted diet 😂 For real, bland tends to work best but is so not flavorful

Uppa Baby🤍 loved ours!

You have a beautiful pregnancy glow❤ which month is your baby coming?😊

I craved ihop while pregnant with my baby boy. I ate ALL the pancakes lol.

Happy Saturday Allison! ☀️ I loved this video along all the other ones! The zucchini bread looks delish! Thrifting is such a fun thing to do. I also loved the new baby rocker, so adorable. The date night pizza looked yumm! Keep the date nights coming after baby arrives too. You guys will need it after you both get adjusted and settled. 🩵

Allison where is that green gingham canopy cover from that’s on your stroller? thanks!

Apparently there is a correlation between mother acid reflux and baby hair. It was true for mine and maybe it will be for you too! ☺️

You are a positive ray of sunshine. Love Zuccini bread - you can add dark chocolate chips to it as well. The Pizza sounds delicious.

We love our mockingbird stroller!!!

Would love to know where you got the cute blue gingham car seat cover 🥹 shopping for my first now as well! 💙

Can you share with me those blinds!!! Brand and color?? Very cute

The UppaBaby Vista V2 is beyond worth the money🤍 and they grow with the family.

Hey Ali, putting in the walnuts that big makes it hard to cut the cake/bread!❤️

I have two strollers, the Mockingbird and the Thule Urban Glide. The Mockingbird is fantastic and has a bassinet attachment, which I HIGHLY recommend. I loved seeing baby girl be able to stretch and move instead of being cooped up in a car seat (we also have an attachment that is compatible with our carseat for on-the-go). The Thule is an excellent lightweight heavy-duty stroller that I take on hikes. I've used it on the beach too, and it worked wonderfully. They are both and I definitely do not regret having two separate strollers.

Lamp is not right. Return with the shade (to measure it), and the receipt and exchange it for a larger lamp.

I always put chocolate chips in my zucchini bread!

You look great, positively glowing!

Oh girl you have to make chocolate zucchini bread!

Your videos are always and inspiration !

Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot for the lamp and ask them. Take a photo of your lamp

We put chocolate chips in our zucchini bread! 😋

Do you link your outfits in your videos on your website?

Jenis has the BEST ice cream

Where did you get the cover for your doona? It’s sooo cute

How long until baby arrives?

hello, can you tell me the color of your front door? Its so pretty

The chocolate zucchini bread sounds amazing I’ll have to make one! You will love your motherhood era so happy for you 🫶🏼✨☀️

I love Jenni's Ice cream...🤤🍨

Hey Allison! Absolutely love your videos!💗 I’m not sure if anyone has already mentioned this, but Lowe’s, Home Depot and I’m sure others carry very affordable adaptors that allow you to be able to use your adorable lamp shade with that lamp.
