It’s cold. It’s February. It’s midterm season. But… Spring Break is RIGHT around the corner. Georgetown has an early break; it begins on March 2. This is the first real spring break that I’ve had since freshman year… of high school. I’ve always had to train for crew, but now that I am not coxing I…
Two of my favorite bathing suits are on sale right now and I just had to share. I’ve had both for at least a couple of years and they’re usually the first I reach for when packing for a trip. Both are easy and flattering. No need to tug down every two minutes and no…
I was kind of terrible about documenting my outfits this last week. It’s been such a low-key vacation for us. Pretty much rotated through comfy pajamas, bathing suits, and easy outfits. LAST WEEK’S WIN: We officially have a beach baby!!! Not going to lie, I was anxious looking forward to this summer knowing we’d have…
Just going to say this upfront here… the bathing suit is almost entirely completely sold out. It’s available in teal in a few sizes and a couple more sizes in a long-torso version. This has to be the cutest swim suit on the market right now and it’s disappointing how quickly it sold out. From…
When I was invited to stay at the Hamilton Princess in Bermuda, I was most excited about visiting the beaches. The hotel itself isn’t directly on the beach but instead has a private beach club not too far away. Traveling during the “off-season” is always a risk, pretty much wherever you go. On Saturday, the weather ended up being pretty gorgeous. It was a little bit chilly when the wind picked up, but otherwise, it was clear and sunny.
Hi! Back again with another week of outfits! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Getting in a bathing suit was a huge win. First of all, I haven’t been able to swim since the day my water broke! I had gotten so used to ocean swimming and pond swimming and pool swimming while pregnant and didn’t realize how much…
Is it just me or do weeks with holidays at the end move very slowly?! I’ve been watching the clock, just so excited to be traveling home to Florida. Can’t wait for swimming and relaxing! I have a semi-crazy day tomorrow and then we’re off first thing in the morning. Lots of packing and prepping…
Finishing up my 2022 recap posts with a list of favorites. Since I’m late already, instead of breaking this up into separate posts, I’m just combining everything into one! Kind of makes it more fun that way anyway. (And this is a good place to catch up on the blog if you’ve recently come from…
This week was just so much fun. I had a few meetings that went well, but it was my photoshoot with Stylewatch Magazine on Wednesday that made the week amazing. When they asked if I was interested in doing it, I said yes before I gave myself time to think about what would be involved. I…
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!
