My little angels generously shared a terrible virus with me last week so I decided not to blog from my deathbed but I’m back at it this week… St. Louis was under water last week two weeks ago with steady rain almost every single day, so we ran out of things to do at home after…
Must Have: Layered Dress
Matching separates are a huge trend lately but I’m not bold/stylish/chic/cool enough to pull them off. An easy alternative is a structured layered dress, which often looks like 2 pieces. I found the pretty blue one below at Forever XXI – been finding a ton of really cute, affordable stuff there lately. I wore this…
Pineapple Express: Pineapple Style Under $80
Like I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I have spent 2 of the last 4 summers very pregnant, so my summer wardrobe is, ahem, lacking. Pieces that are a little fun, a little stylish, and versatile enough to wear to both the park and the office are at the top of my wish list. Pineapples…
Breastfeeding Essentials
As my second year of nursing (and pumping for) a baby comes to an end, I can’t help but be a little sad want to throw a party because I’ll be free with so much extra time on my hands. Just kidding. But #truth. Nursing and pumping for both my babies has been an incredibly…
A First Father’s Day Gift Idea
Growing up, my sister and I always gave my dad crappy ties and handmade “art” for Father’s Day. When Quinn was born, I figured I should step up my game and give a decent Father’s Day gift. But what do you give a new dad for his first Father’s Day? “Stuff” like golf accessories, grilling…
Lactation Cookies
If you’re a nursing mom, you know that you’re always a little lot hungrier than usual. For me, that equals major hanger, which is never good for anyone involved. Aside from an increased appetite, sometimes you need a little extra help to make more milk. Enter lactation cookies. My best girlfriend just had a baby so…
Cutoff Shorts That Aren’t Crazy Short (and under $75)
I asked my mom to search through our old dress up boxes to find my dad’s cutoffs from 1979 but, alas, no such luck. Plus I probably wouldn’t have fit in them. He was a tiny man. Dresses are my go-to summer wardrobe staple but I am still limited from wearing them in public because I’m…
Our Wedding: Perfect Pair Wedding Theme
Today marks our 5 year wedding anniversary, which is just crazy to me. Five years, a new house and 2 kids later – it feels like our wedding was just yesterday and a lifetime ago. I put so much time and effort into planning every detail of our wedding day and still, 5 years later…
A Casual Sunday Outfit
Sundays are always slam packed in our house and this past weekend was no exception. We were errand running machines: breakfast, grocery, nap, Lowe’s, dinner. I feel like any time in public with two littles you literally must be ready to run, which is why I’ve been loving my new Converse sneakers. This outfit is…
A Baby Boy Shower
One of my very best friends had her very first baby today! Even though it’s been a few months, her baby shower was adorable. One of her friends, Erin, hosted the shower at her house and there were so many cute little details that made the day special. Here are the snaps from Lindsay’s baby boy…
