Full confession before we go into the post… I’ve worn this sweater three or four times a week since buying it. I actually wore it right out of the store. It’s the best red and the softest cashmere.
This outfit in general is turning into a go-to. (It’s what I wore in our family Christmas cards, too!) The perfect mix of casual and cute. I feel completely comfortable taking Teddy out for a walk in it or heading downtown to do some shopping.
We’ve been having hit or miss weather here in NYC. One day I’m totally fine with just a cozy sweater and a Barbour and the next, I break out the cocoon.
Aren’t these Baublebar earrings fun? I love the little twist on the typical pearl earring. They sent me this box where you can mix and match all kinds of earrings into something like over 100 different looks… these were my favorite!
I love the earring set! It's such a creative and fun box. I've added it to my wishlist! (: PS. I recently invested in the Drybar curling iron after reading your raves and going to my local Drybar a few times. I absolutely love it, my Thanksgiving curls came out so great! Thank you soo much!!
The weather here in Pennsylvania is the same! Yesterday I didn't wear any coat, just a warm sweater, and a few days ago I whipped out my winter coat. I'm obsessed with your earrings. Oh yes, and I can't wait for Christmas! Lately I've been buying a lot of burgundy colored clothing, and I got a gold pair of casual boots too! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
Red is officially the color of the season. I whipped out my red leather tote the day after Thanksgiving. I decorated a handle with a vintage J.Crew ski scarf.
I LOVE this outfit…definitely one of my favorites!! I might need this for the holidays! Also, I didn't even recognize Teddy…did he get a haircut or is that another puppy (so cute!!)?
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!)

Gorgeous as ALWAYS, Carly! I am so feeling the red for the holiday season. And those booties! I love the trim at the top. Wonderful post!
