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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

This year I wanted to create a boho table scape for Thanksgiving. I’m not hosting, but I thought it would still be fun to pull together some pieces I already had for this. Styling a table is another fun way to be creative and dress something up. Plus I love an excuse to show off our dining room table that Jeff built. 🙂

Messy hair, don’t care… should have been the title of this post. We were running around all morning before I took these and my hair could definitely use a brushing… oops. I’m wearing another bump-hugging dress that I love and think this outfit would be perfect for a dressier Thanksgiving. We usually keep it pretty casual on Turkey Day, but I wanted to throw out this option if you’re searching for a dress option.

Crosby is at an age where she’s starting to dislike sitting in anything that she needs to be strapped in. Car seat, stroller, high chair etc. It’s definitely making life a little harder! We decided it was time to get her own little table, but had trouble finding one that we liked and thought would fit in with our decor. Jeff had the idea to get this $30 IKEA LATT table and DIY it into our own creation. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out… Crosby is a huge fan too!

I’m 17 weeks pregnant now and feel like I’ve popped! With Crosby I wasn’t visibly showing until around 22 weeks…. it happens a lot faster the second time. I also feel like time is going by sooo fast now. Like I’m going to blink and it’s going to be baby time. Trying to soak up these last months with just Crosby.

And just like that it’s November. Don’t blink or it will be 2019. Over the weekend I posted an IG story wearing this outfit and got lots of questions about my chunky cardigan. It’s the Free People Sunday Morning cardigan and I purchased during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Sadly, it’s mostly sold out in this light grey color but it’s fully stocked in black here and a few other colors here.
