I have mixed feelings about today being the first day of fall. This has been such a great summer that I can’t believe it’s over and kind of wish it’d last forever. But I love the fall season and the cool mornings (it was 38 degrees one morning last week!) and changing leaves do have me eager…
This might just be one of my favorite outfits of the year. This is honestly my favorite season clothing wise. Nothing is better than feeling totally neutral with the weather where you can wear a skirt with bare legs but still want a little sweater. I bought this skirt last year from J. Crew and…
I did one of these a few (one in 2018 and another in 2019) and I was kind of thinking about how I needed to do another updated one. I had been savoring every last drop of summer, but we recently had some chilly mornings and days where I almost turned on the heat even!)…
It’s been a while since I last shared an Amazon Fashion edit. I’m trying to soak up this gorgeous fall weather as much as possible before the temperature starts to dip and the time change sneaks up on us (trying not to think about it!!!). I’ve gotten a few requests recently to share another Amazon…
What is it about baby clothes that I find to be so fun to shop for? I can’t put my finger on whether it’s because of the size, adorable patterns, or the excitement that comes with being a first-time mom. Regardless of the reason, it brings me joy! Lately, some of the brands I like…
Although it’s still very much summer right now, fall is just around the corner. This truly is my favorite season!! I love the layering, autumnal colors, and overall sense of hunkering down and getting cozy after a busy summer. I’ve noticed a few trees around the neighborhood starting to turn, but I think we still…
We’ve been having very, very fall-y days and it’s making me so in the mood for Halloween. (I’ve also been watching Sabrina on Netflix and that’s *definitely* getting me into the spooky spirit.) Our mornings have been dark, the days have been drizzly and foggy, and I kind of love it. Normally it wouldn’t be…
thredUP has been one of my favorite companies to work with over the past couple of years, but this particular partnership may just be the best yet! I teamed up with thredUP stylists to create a curated style box that you guys can order! With their help, I answered a bunch of questions related to…
I did this last year and it was one of my favorite posts to put together. I don’t really do this for other seasons, although maybe I should? Since the weather has been all over the place and less than inspiring (more like “sweat weather” instead of “sweater weather”), I’m relying on the ~idea~ of…
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!
