I feel like I am in some kind of hibernation mode right now. I will say that I love that the sun is setting later. The fact that it’s not pitch dark outside by 3:30pm is pretty nice. And now the temperatures have really dropped. Although summer is my absolute favorite season and I love the warm nights we can enjoy until 9pm with still a glow in the sky, I do like the coziness of winter months.
The first quarter is generally speaking pretty slow for me, so I try to remember to take it easy as I know things will only heat up (literally and figuratively) as the year goes on. For now, I’ll slip into bed early to read, stay in pajamas far too late on weekends, and… maybe even ditch my jeans for leggings at exactly 5pm.
I’ve rounded up some of my favorite pajama sets below:

I know this sounds kind of lame, but sometime during my first year out of college, I switched from wearing t-shirts and boxer shorts to full pajama sets. It’s such a small thing, but I feel so much more put together about my life. In reality do I? Maybe, maybe not. I don’t underestimate the power of positive thoughts though and let me tell you, it feels great to wear matching pajama sets 😉
I'm right there with you in hibernation mode! Now that I work from home, I definitely stay in pajamas longer than I probably should. I love summer, too, but as long as I can stay in I don't mind these temps. J.crew pajamas are the best. They fit nicely and can be monogrammed. That's a win-win.
I just got into PJ sets this past year. Typically in the summer I go with Old Navy tanks and PJ pants but the sets are so cozy for the winter. I have a few from Belk and some from VS but J.Crew is next on my PJ splurge list.
I totally agree! Matching pajama sets are the best- I love the ones from target, They're comfy and fit into my college student budget lol! I can't wait to splurge on a J.Crew pair one day! -Angela & Amy FiletoStyle.com
It is so funny that you posted about this! I was just telling a friend of mine the other day that one of my life goals is to have matching pajama sets for everyday of the week. Also as a PSA J. Crew currently has their classic Tartan and the Cotton Dot Sleep Set in stripe on 40% off sale.
I am so not a sleepwear/lounge person. I love a tank and shorts. More recently I have seen posts on cozy sleepwear. Maybe I will try out a new PJ set soon!
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)

My friends give me such a hard time for all my pajama sets! I'm the only one that sleeps in them, and I think I have something like 12 pairs.
You need to try PJ Salvage! They are next-level soft.

I asked for a nightshirt from Eberjey for Christmas and I'm obsessed! They are SO soft.
I adore pyjama sets. I've currently got my eye on this luxurious set from Charmajesty (http://charmajesty.com/US#!/Pyjamas-The-Heart/p/56427247/category=13030517).

hahaha, I love this goal. <3

I never sleep in pajamas! But these look uber comfy. I would wear them as loungewear around the house!
