Maybe it’s because I’ve been pregnant all summer, but I have very specific places I love to go get a snow cone. Ruby’s Sno-Balls in East Dallas is my favorite, and then there’s a place called Gnome Cones in Argyle. It’s worth the drive—it’s so cute and it’s all-natural, so you don’t feel bad.

I’ve been craving a lot of fruit, so I’ll either hit Whole Foods and get the premade fruit or I’ll go to Unleavened and get an acai bowl. Mi Cocina has a really good taco salad and I’ve been indulging in that too. My favorite lunch spot is Sassetta.

I got The Baby Owner’s Manual by Dr. Louis Borgenicht and Joe Borgenicht for my husband but really enjoyed reading it. I’m visual and the diagrams really help. I don’t know much about newborns or infants so it was very informative.

For baby clothes, I love Beatnik in Oak Cliff and couldn’t help but splurge on some pieces when I found out I was having a girl.

I waited too long to get a body pillow and should have invested in one sooner. It was definitely a lifesaver these past few weeks.
