I’m sure I could be doing homework, catching up on reading, studying for my midterms (which are right around the corner. AH), but no. I’ve been sitting in my bed looking out the window in absolute awe of the storm. The wind is absolutely insane. I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it!
I’ve been seeing this on other blogs, so I am deciding to give it a whirl.
I couldn’t resist putting this picture up. It’s is everything I miss right now: Lilly dresses, Jack Rogers (especially my white ones), being tan (I’m EXTREMELY tan in this picture, believe it or not), being home, the SUN.

Ask me anything. Go for it. Just leave me a comment!
I hope y’all are faring well during this February Fury!!!
Here’s a little video of Little V celebrating her birthday in the blizzard! We were on our way back from practice… There’s a HUGE hill that leads up to the gym. California funk and I struggled on the way up… and we slid all the way down after practice!
I have no questions!!! You have kept us all up on your life so I'll just wait for your answers to the submitted questions by other followers. I will note one thing though…you seem to have your head on straight, know what you want for the future…so just go with your dreams. Betsy
ooo me! me! I'm (knock on wood) coming to DC this weekend. Any suggestions on fun, off the beaten path, things to do? Especially Restaurant Suggestions!
Oh! Oh! Just remembered I do have a question…what was "Little V's" B-day gift??? See I do read your posts throughly, just simply neglected to submit mine!!! Betsy
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!)
What's your major? Any ideas as to what you'll do after graduation? Hope you're having a great (and snowy!) week!! 🙂
I was going to ask about your major too, haha. Hmm… what's your typical daily routine? Favorite outfit? (LOVELOVELOVE that picture by the way!)
I've seen people answer these questions in a video, you should do that! It's fun, but of course don't feel obligated.
Have a great weekend!
if you had absolutely no obligations and a free weekend, what would you do?
You look super cute! Here's my Q: What made you start blogging in the first place?! xoe
