The Everyday Fitness Routine!
Fitness is part of my daily routine. Not a huge kickass workout, just moving and staying healthy. Because life with kids is constantly changing, so is the way I work out. I use the term “work out” loosely, because it means different things to different people. For me, working out means getting exercise….that might be a bike ride with my kids, pushing them to school in the double stroller, or swimming laps. OR, or even just cleaning my house and running up and down the stairs 15 times! Pre-divorce, when my kids were 3 and under, I was mostly walking. Once I split from my husband, I had two pockets…

Is your closet missing a key staple? “Faux” sure, if you don’t have a leather jacket!
My latest obsession is my new leather jacket. Well, faux leather, of course, since real leather comes at a premium price and I’m not living the premium lifestyle right now. Are any of us, as moms of little ones? Most of us are just trying to survive and get out the door each morning looking halfway cute (with kids). There are many lists of essential winter coats and most include the following: Tailored wool coat, denim jacket, bomber, blazer, puffer, trench coat, AND a leather jacket!

When you regain your purse, you reclaim your identity
That’s possibly a slight exaggeration, but I do feel like when you are in the diaper bag phase, the word purse is completely foreign…who the hell cares about a purse when you’ve got a backpack that hold blankets, diapers, toys, burp cloths, band aids, boogies wipes, water bottles, sippy cups, and a lot of cr*ap that you realize you don’t need as soon as your second child comes along. But I was totally that mom. I loved my diaper bag. Adored my first one, it was light pink (way before blush was back in style) and from Britain, and I saw stars when I looked at it. Truly. Well fast…

Freezing? Get yourself a cute flannel shirt and stay stylish and cozy!
Flannel shirts are amazing in my opinion. They can be worn in so many different ways, and they are SO WARM! They feel like a nice snuggly blanket that you can wear all day long. So when the weather starts cooling off, I love to pull out a cute flannel shirt and start mixing and matching. This flannel is a recent purchase from J.Crew. Aren’t the green and coral colors just gorgeous? Depending on how your flannel fits, you can opt to wear it a few ways. Wear your flannel a la J.Crew style, with a sparkly necklace, skirt and vest, or layer over cute denim and ankle boots. Or,…

My love for Madewell, they’ve got your back(side)!
On IG, I gush a lot about Madewell denim. For good reason, let me assure you. The fit is incredible, the jeans come in multiple rises (my fave is the 10″) and they are actually comfortable to wear! So let’s back up a few years…..I used to hate jeans. With a passion. When I was a kid, I only wore black stretch pants. I was on the sturdier side and jeans were so uncomfortable. Anyone else have that problem?! Even when designer denim came roaring into style, I still never loved anything and therefor struggled to comprehend spending so much money on a pair that still wasn’t perfect…. I can’t…

Party dresses for the day time?! Of course!
“Life is a party. Dress like it.” Audrey Hepburn Think about the dresses in your closet. Are they gathering dust? Are they getting those imprints in the shoulders because tthey’ve been on a hanger for 10 months? Are you wondering if they’re in style anymore, since you haven’t worn them since your dating days? Some of my dresses haven’t seen daylight in a long time. For some reason my mindset was along the lines of I’m a stay at home mom and active during the day, so I need comfort clothing but that won’t get ruined. Okay, so this was very true during the baby stage. But not anymore! My…
