Last Christmas Crosby was 8 months old and completely unaware of the holiday season. We got her a swing for our backyard and she was set. This year I’m so excited for her to experience the season. We already visited Santa and got the quintessential crying photo (see below). But there’s a lot of other fun things I’m excited to do with her before the end of the year. I also wanted to share a gift guide for toddlers.

November 2018
Grey Fall Outfit
After the last week I need all the relaxed, comfy sweaters I can get. Love this one from BB Dakota, the fringe detailing on the sleeves is what really won me over. It’s loose enough to hide all the pie I ate and my baby bump! Although from the side there’s really no hiding it.

Cyber Monday Guide
Hope you all had a relaxing long weekend and good Thanksgiving! I love long weekend and that all the days blur together. I woke up Saturday morning and had to ask Jeff what day it was. I was convinced it was Sunday or Monday but was so excited it was Saturday. There’s been a lot of sales over the weekend (I covered some early ones here), but today I’m breaking down the best of Cyber Monday.

Happy Thanksgiving + Early Sales
Happy Thanksgiving! This year I am so grateful for my family and all of you. It’s because of you I was able to turn this little hobby into a full time job and be a stay-at-home-mom. It’s a big juggle at times, but truly the best of both worlds.
on Jeff: similar sweater, similar shirt (on SALE), pants, similar boots
on Mackie: sweater
on Crosby: jacket (in blue), bow c/o, boots
on me: top c/o (on SALE), jeans, similar boots

10 Gender Prediction Tests
Ever since we announced our pregnancy I’ve gotten a lot of questions about if we know the gender. I mentioned in this post, but we did a blood test back in September and actually found out then. I did a poll on IG stories the other day asking what you thought we were having and the results came back an even split. Exactly the same number of votes for a girl and same for a boy. What are the odds?! We plan to spill the beans soon… but first I thought it would be fun to test out some gender predicting old wives tales.

Freshly Picked Half Yearly Sale
If you’ve been following me since I had Crosby it’s probably obvious that Freshly Picked moccasins are my favorite shoes for her. She’s been wearing them since she could fit into their newborn sized moccs and hasn’t stopped. They were the only shoes that would actually stay on her feet when she was a baby… even socks would fall off! Now that’s she’s bigger, she can even fit into their sneakers, sandals and mini sole moccs. We love them all!

Casual Outfit For Thanksgiving Week
Happy Thanksgiving week! I cannot believe how quickly this holiday crept up on us this year, but I feel like I’m going to be saying that about every holiday from now on. I put this casual outfit together with post-holiday comfort in mind. It could be something you wear to travel this week, after the big meal Thursday when you want to relax, on black Friday when the last thing you want to do is put on pants with a zipper. Or maybe that’s just me… #pregnancyproblems.

Mommy and Me Leopard Looks
I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that Thanksgiving is a week from tomorrow. It seems like once Halloween passes, everything else moves at hyper speed til the New Year. Don’t blink! I put these leopard mother daughter outfits together in mind for more Thanksgiving outfit inspiration. If you live some place cooler, you could wear tights or over-the-knee boots instead of booties with my outfit to keep warm.
on me: hat, dress, necklace c/o, cardigan c/o, similar booties
on Crosby: sweatshirt (similar), pants, shoes c/o

90’s Layering Trend
I’m definitely on board with some of the 90’s trends that have been making the rounds the past couple of years. High-waisted denim (aka mom jeans), belt bags (fanny packs) and Dr. Marten’s are back to being staples in my closet. But last week I layered a t-shirt under a slip dress and felt like my best 90’s self. It’s been years since I did the t-shirt/dress combo… probably since I was in 6th grade in the 90’s! It’s such an easy way to make dresses more casual and daytime appropriate. Now I’m trying to think of what other dresses in my closet I can wear this way. It’s so fun!
