I was all over the place this week. Highs included going into the city for lunch with Sam! It felt so good to feel like myself with a cute outfit, real makeup, and I even took the time to really blow out my hair. I was also able to FINALLY get in what feels like…
Keeping it real! I just feel like more than anything, I’m wearing what works as a mom and in my third trimester! Comfortable jeans and leggings for the win. I’ve been coming across so many good staple pieces on Amazon lately that I had to round up a winter Amazon style edit! Most of the…
Frankly, if I make it out of my leggings over the next month (or, if I’m lucky, some Valentine’s Day pajamas), it’ll be a miracle. But in case you’re not super pregnant like me, I wanted to throw together some Valentine’s Day outfits!! And yes, hearts were mandatory. Valentine’s Day Outfits for 2024 DRESS //…
There’s a small chance I’m only obsessed with trousers right now because I can’t wear them at the moment…. but, um, I’m so looking forward to wearing real pants soon. I’m such a creature of comfort, especially when it comes to fashion, and I just love a good pair of jeans. Jeans and a sweater, and…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! ONE // Postpartum Goals Before I had Jack, I sat down and came up with a couple of…
I’m coming you today with some questions! I also think it’ll mean the comment section is fun and (hopefully) filled with good recommendations that we can all learn from! OVER EAR HEADPHONES I’m on the hunt for a pair of over the ear headphones. I originally thought I wanted the AirPods Max, but heard mixed…
Here’s what we’ve been up to according to my camera roll over the past two weeks…. Jack got a Duplo set from my parents for Christmas this year and it’s been really fun to get into LEGO with him. I wouldn’t say it’s something we’re capable of playing with for hours, but as far as…
This week felt like a proper winter week. It was grey, it was freezing, and we got SNOW. Our town had a snow day on Tuesday and we fully embraced the day. Maybe it’s the mom-guilt of knowing I’m not going to be able to give Jack my undivided attention in a few weeks, but I…
If I’m being honest, all I really want to wear right now is leggings and loungewear! Being in my third trimester this winter has presented another set of hurdles with getting dressed for the cold. I’ve been feeling less inspired with my outfits and have naturally leaned towards wearing more cozy winter outfits I already…
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!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
