While on one of my trips to Target last week I came across the cutest matching sweaters for me and Crosby. They come in four different color combs and I picked the one I thought she’d like the best. Once I got home and looked online I saw they were also available in little girls sizes and there was even an adorable matching romper for babies in one of the color combos.
I did even more digging and found a matching dog sweater AND dad and boys matching options too. Sadly the colors are not the same in the men’s but it’s a really cute option for dads and little boys.
Last weekend we had our first batch of actual cold weather. We spent the majority of the time inside but Sunday afternoon after naps we decided to head out on a short walk and we really bundled up. Luckily the kids both had semi-appropriate clothing but this also forced me to go through our closets to purge what no longer fits and figure out what gaps we need to fill before it gets colder.
Crosby and I also never miss an opportunity to twin so I was even more excited that we had similar cozy pieces.
I bought these beanies for us over three years ago when she was just six months old. I purchased my first set in pink and then went back for the off white because I loved them so much. They’re only $13 and come in a few other colors too and are perfect for the winter/holidays. We’ve worn them a bunch since then… last year Crosby wouldn’t keep a hat on so Wilder got to wear them too. I even bought a second set but guess who doesn’t want to wear a hat this year?
Crosby’s jacket is from last year and is getting a little small. I’m currently eying this one that looks so cute and cozy. It’s more than I typically like to spend on her clothes, but I think if I size up she’ll probably be able to get two seasons of wear out of it.
I bought my coat on Amazon two years ago after seeing it on a few friends. It’s such a good buy; under $40, cozy and slightly oversized. I wore it all through my pregnancy with Wilder and still had room. It’s definitely the coat I reach for most when it’s cold.
Spending all this time at home with toddlers can be a challenge. On one hand it’s nice because we can stay on a great napping/sleeping schedule, but the days can definitely drag on. I want to share some of my favorite toys and activities for keeping them busy and tantrum free… for at least two minutes anyway.
Before I get into that, here are some photos from the weekend. We were so thankful to have sunshine on Saturday we got outside and enjoyed it as much as possible. These mommy + me dresses from Spendid are so cute and are 40% off right now with code LOVE. They’re available in baby, toddler, littleand big girl sizes. We might wear ours again on Easter… probably at home.
A few weeks ago I was searching for something on amazon and came across the most adorable rainbow toddler sweatshirt for Crosby. It’s only $14 so I had no idea what the quality would be like but was pleasantly surprised when it came in the mail. I had just received this thermal top and knew they’d but cute to wear together. Coordinating without being too matchy matchy.
There are a couple similar sweatshirts also on amazon – here and here. and to match each of those is a cute pair of joggers – here and here. I love the price points of all these pieces and that they can be worn as a set or on their own. Super cute for toddlers and can even be unisex.
Hope you have a great day – thank you for reading and following!
Our Christmas tree has been up for a few weeks already, but that didn’t stop us from making our annual trip to the tree lot. And of course, we had to dress the part. I bought these beanies when Crosby was a baby and purchased a second set this year so she could still match us. Guess who didn’t want to wear hers? Ha! At least Wilder is still willing to match with me.
Obviously comfort is key when I leave the house with the kids. Lately my uniform has been sneakers, high waisted jeans and something comfortable on top that works with the current weather. I missed my high waisted jeans SO MUCH when I was pregnant, I knew they’d be big for me this winter and needed a new pair to add to my rotation. I got this pair from Aritzia and could not be more in love. I probably wore them for a week straight after I received them. So flattering and true to size.
If you follow me on instagram you know we had a tragic incident with Hippo yesterday. He goes everywhere with us (literally everywhere) and somehow got lost at South Coast Plaza when we were there in the morning. Luckily we have a spare (which Crosby doesn’t know about), but after a day of frantically calling and retracing our steps we gave up on Hippo #1. We did order a replacement so we can continue to have a spare. I feel like any mom of a toddler can relate to this.
Over the weekend Crosby turned two and a half and we celebrated with donuts and coffee at the beach. Does anyone else celebrate half birthdays? She’s obsessed with birthdays right now but doesn’t quite get what a half birthday is. Ha!
I got this dress in the mail last week and thought it would be perfect for a fall wedding. I currently have zero on my calendar so I took it as an excuse to dress up for our outing. Crosby has had this adorable dress from Loveshackfancy just burning a whole in her closet for over a year now. It finally almost fits so she wore it for the half bday celebration. It’s definitely a dress she will be able to wear for awhile since it’s so long. She has another one that’s white and sleeveless that will be just as cute.
Wanted to share a few other dresses I’m loving for fall weddings or special occasions.
This one is perfect for a night time event. Would even work into the holiday season.
I tried this one on over the summer and was obsessed with the fit. It comes in several colors appropriate for wedding guests and would be pretty for the holidays too.
If you’re looking for lace, I love this one for fall/winter.
