So… I needed Microsoft Access for a class. Yea. And guess what, it’s not available on the Mac version of Microsoft.

a little bit of life, a little bit of style, and everything in between.

Here are some of the outfits I’ve worn recently as a mom of two young boys (Jack is 3.5 and Rory just turned one.) 👩🏻 🧥 👖 🥿 Lately, I’ve been leaning into outfit formulas that just work. I’m in a season of life where I need to be able to chase after my kids at the playground, get on the floor to build Magnatiles, and still feel like myself when I pass a mirror.
Comfort is non-negotiable... but so is feeling put together. I’m prioritizing jeans that actually fit and move with me, sweaters and tops that go with everything, and comfortable shoes so I can keep up with my boys.
For me, right now, it’s not about being trendy. It’s about feeling good, being present, and making life just a little bit easier.
If you’re in that same stage, juggling a million things and still wanting to look cute, this one’s for you. 🙌🏻 Swipe through for some of my go-to, real-life mom outfits that are comfy, practical, and pulled together... because we all deserve that! If you want links to specific things I’m wearing (like the investment coat I’ve worn for over 10 years, the ballet flats I swear by, or the jeans I rotate through the most), comment “WARDROBE STAPLES” below and I’ll send you my current wardrobe staples!
A wild Saturday night as a mom of two young boys with timestamps! I try to maximize the evenings. A little bit productive and a little bit for me! Tonight I folded laundry, cleaned the playroom, showered and blow dried my hair, prepped sourdough bread, needlepointed, and played some mahjong online!
I turned 35 last summer and, honestly, I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin... even without injectables! I love finding products that enhance my natural beauty without covering it up, and the new Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer from @jonesroadbeauty does exactly that. I used the shade “Ivory”! It’s lightweight, easy to apply (no mirror needed!), and gives me that effortless “your skin but better” look– perfect for busy mom life. 🙌🏻 #ad
Our town just got the sweetest, chicest little bakery! Sourdough everything with a side of immaculate vibes 🤍 🥐 ☕️ 🥖✨ Be back soon @thebakernj!
These April showers better result in the best May flowers we’ve ever seen… ☔️ 🌷 ☀️ in the meantime, comment “BUTTER” and l’ll DM you my outfit 🧈
I’ve been playing mahjong every week with some girlfriends and I brought some candy salad treats for everyone to take home. 🀄️ 🍬🩷 I definitely have a “mahj-or sweet tooth” 😉 (I live for a good pun!!!) I found these watercolor illustrations on @etsy by @lilas.hills and I will be personalizing everything with them from here on out!
The parent trap has always been one of my favorite movies and I met the Hallie Parker to my Annie James!
Serial hobbyist, reporting for duty! 🫡 My roster of hobbies grow by the months… sewing, embroidery, needlepoint, tap dancing, reading, sourdough, mahjong. I can’t help it, I just want to try it all! Who else has the feminine urge to try it all ✨🫶🏻
CP- thank you for that link! I picked the crayon illustration for my background!
That is adorable but unfortunately reminded me of the insane amount of cupcakes I've consumed in the last 24 hours… hellooo afternoon workout!
I love the backgrounds! Adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Love Jenny's illustrations. Thanks for sharing.
