As a boy mom, I have known the struggle of coordinating a good mommy & me outfit with my little guy. Luckily however, there are MANY more options for dads to coordinate with their sons. Especially now that Wyatt is a toddler (it seems like getting to a 2T gives boys many more options), there are a lot more brands that offer similar pieces for boys and men. This does unfortunately seem to be the one area where there are far fewer options for girls…but they get all the…

Memorial Day and the (un)official start of summer is right around the corner…anyone else as excited as I am?!

Below I linked some of my favorite gingham pieces this season as well as some baby + toddler girl and boy pieces that you can coordinate some super cute mom & mini outfits with!

Sometimes I feel frantic during the day, with Wyatt constantly on the go (making messes everywhere), and with all of our activities and responsibilities around the house, time flies. It’s hard to remember what’s important in life, sometimes self-care takes a backseat, a basic and seemingly simple part of life that shouldn’t be overlooked. When I was a “new mom” there would be days I didn’t brush my teeth or wash my face, I know it’s gross, but it’s the truth. Wyatt’s needs always came first, and sometimes I would just be too darn tired!
