Raise your hand if you also feel incredibly busy a Raise your hand if you also feel incredibly busy all the time as a Mom 🙋🏼‍♀️ from working full time, to managing our side business, to also keeping the ships sailing at home, I am running around all day long. Of course, my baby also wants to be with me and while I love carrying him—my arms demand a break 😂 intro my absolute favorite accessory nowadays: a baby carrier. Using one means I can do all my projects while still keeping my baby close. I have so many at this point, but hands down my new favorite is the Monarch carrier from @mabecarriers. It’s seriously the prettiest carrier I own for the price point!

All of 2023, I was so excited to embrace my “Mom All of 2023, I was so excited to embrace my “Mom era.” What I didn’t realize was that I’d really struggle with self confidence postpartum and figuring out what to even wear anymore.

You’d think it would be easy to give yourself some grace—since we grew a whole human. But in my case, I gained almost 55 lbs during my first pregnancy. I’ve worked extremely hard the last 5 months to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight, and I did it! But to my surprise, that does not mean I look or feel the same. Wider hips, stretch marks, hair loss, milk stains…all not-so-glamorous things that are part of the norm of life postpartum. I…well I feel nothing like my pre-pregnancy self.

When I started trying on things in my closet, I was horrified to realize they either:
A) did not fit
B) looked like a high schooler took over my wardrobe
C) were not functional options for pumping 

So…now I’m on a mission to get my confidence back! I’m on a budget, and I want to repurpose whatever I can (DIY queen over here). And, because being a Mom is my priority, I need to KEEP IT SIMPLE!!!

The first thing I did? Buy jeans in a size that actually fit 😂 Man oh man does it feel great to be able to button my pants and not wince realizing they just don’t fit around my hip bones anymore. 

So mammas? Let this also be a lesson to you. Give yourself some grace. You grew and birthed a human. You will find your groove again. Building confidence takes time. Start simple. Start small. Wear the comfy pants that fit, throw on some cute earrings and shoes. Maybe go a little wild and add some mascara. Then snuggle that baby close and realize this time will not last forever.

I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom 😉

DIY stairs? More like professional stairs 😉 Thi DIY stairs? More like professional stairs 😉 This project was surprisingly easy to tackle and has AMAZING results. It’s a night and day difference when you first walk into our home. We looked at flooring options for months before deciding to go with @hewnfloor. The color we went with, Mendocino (from the @angelarosehome line), is gorgeous and exactly what I was envisioning. It reads warm but still manages to bring in some ash tones I’d dreamt of from our inspo oak floors.

Looking back at the project, some parts were frustrating (we mean you, belt sander. I’m STILL vacuuming up dust). But the overall results more than paid off!

Embrace the early decorations and join me in havin Embrace the early decorations and join me in having a festive November! 

Why? 

Well simple—because sometimes it’s nice to just do what makes you happy. We’ve all heard that audio where they say, “the turkey tastes just as good with the tree up.” I used to count down the days until Thanksgiving was over so I could finally put up Christmas decor. This year, I decided I was done with waiting. 

The best part is that I found this Christmas garland for just $16! It looks so real and is an amazing dupe of that viral Norfolk Pine garland I’ve seen everywhere. We are all 👏🏼about👏🏼saving👏🏼money! Comment “🎄” and I’ll send you a message with where you can score this garland too!

We all deserve happiness and joy this Holiday season. If that means decorating early, amazing. If not, you do you - that’s okay too 😉

🙋🏼‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’ve ever 🙋🏼‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’ve ever copied a viral trend and wondered how to reuse the decor later. Turns out, these leaf garlands from @macy.blackwell ‘s fall arch last year can be used in so many other ways!

Have old carpeted stairs? We’ll say goodbye beca Have old carpeted stairs? We’ll say goodbye because it’s time to DIY the heck out of them and install some gorgeous new flooring! We had never tackled stair caps or treads before, so this was a whole new project for us—but I’m loving the turnout. Make sure to follow for part 2!
