It seems like just yesterday Wilder was born and I was trying to navigate a toddler and a newborn. Now I’m juggling two toddlers and time is seriously flying. Wilder is 14 months old, but honestly he seems like more of a baby than a toddler. Maybe it’s because he’s the youngest, but I’m not really in a hurry for him to grow up. Today I want to share our favorite toys and things at this age.

The past few months the only shoes I’ve really worn are sneakers and sandals, but my love for neutral shoes continues to grow. I’ve collected some new pairs that are so pretty and deserve to be shared whether or not they’re being worn.

Since we’ve been spending so much time outside during the stay at home period, we’ve finally worked on some finishing touches to bring the patio together. A couple rugs, new throw pillows, another umbrella and finally having our tv installed have made a huge difference. Luckily the weather has been amazing so we can spend a lot outside. Jeff and I have especially loved sitting outside once the kids go to sleep at night.

I’m coming at your today with my top 5 sellers from May. I pushed this post back a week to take some time to pause, listen, research and talk about the Black Lives Matter movement. Pausing content was just a start, I’m hopeful that when everyone resumes business, this will not be forgotten and the right steps will be taken to work towards this change. We can all do better.

Another month has ended and this one on a particularly low note. I don’t have the words to summarize how I feel about everything going on in the world right now, but I know staying silent is not the answer. We can’t be neutral. If you’re ignoring what’s happening, you’re part of the problem. I can be so hard to speak out when you’re not sure what to say or how to say it. Especially on a topic as big as racism.

I’ve been trying to simplify my closet and stock it full of staples I know I’ll actually wear. Lately that means athleisure, shorts, jeans and basic tops that go with everything. Cotton tanks, tees, cropped shirts, etc. I love a good top that you can wear with everything from bike shorts to jeans – from taking the kids for a neighborhood walk and (someday) run errands or go out to eat. Today I’m sharing a round up of my go-to tops.

It’s so hard to believe Memorial Day weekend is here! Between the haze of the past few months and it being a little earlier this year, it really snuck up on me. I always think of this weekend as the unofficial start of summer, but our weather has been so great lately it kind of feels like it already began. There are always amazing sales this weekend, it’s a really good time to use the sales on bigger ticket items like furniture/outdoor. I’m rounding up all the best sales from my favorite retailers below.

I’m a big sucker for matching outfits, especially brother sister matching outfits. I really don’t think there’s much cuter than matching siblings and I’m trying to take advantage while they’re little and I still have semi-control (Crosby will only wear dresses so as long as her’s is a dress I’m good). I wanted to share my favorite place to find their matching outfits!

I’m a huge fan of bike shorts and have slowly been getting my friends on board with this trend too. If you think about it, they’re basically just short leggings and perfect for the days it’s too hot to wear pants. I have a rotation of pairs I’ve been wearing and wanted to share my favorites.

At this point I’ve lost track of how many days we’ve been in quarantine. I’m currently somewhere between not knowing what day it is and wondering how much longer this is going to last. But I’m trying to make the most of it and stay positive. One thing that’s really helping is making my house feel as peaceful as possible. I’ve been working on cleaning out closets, disinfecting anything that’s ever been touched, organizing and diffusing aromatherapy with my new Aera diffuser.
