WHITE BUTTON UP’S + 5 THINGS
Today’s OOTW is laid-back and effortless and includes a summer staple you need in your closet. Sharing details below along with a few other (random) things on my mind! 1 | If you don’t already own a white button up, snag one asap. They’re wearability ranges from throwing over a swimsuit, to pairing with just […]
MEAL PLAN: MAY WEEK 4
(a little watermelon juice making throwback action with the pictures!) Between kids sports, the rental renovation (updates are saved on my stories!), Ozzie’s graduation, Johan picking up extra shifts each week, my work and all the daily chores that come with running a family, life is nuts right now, like consistently waking up at 2am […]
SUNDAY ON CAPITAL HILL + SAVING WHAT YOU LOVE
Aside from Yoder (a.k.a. Johan, my husband) being on shift, this past Sunday was my absolute favorite in awhile. All the kids were with me including Ozzie’s gf (who we adore), the sun was out, we fit in some park hangs, attended the kids’ uncle’s movie premier at SIFF (seattle international film festival) which was […]
MEAL PLAN: MAY WEEK 3
Hey loves! Excited for this weeks meal plan but also wishing there was away to make the grocery list making and shopping more easy. (Tell me I’m not alone!?) These days there are so many great places to shop (some for specialty reasons, others for practical ones) so I’m sure cutting back would help. Click-list […]
OOTW: MY UPDATED UNIFORM, FITTED TEES + BUCKET BAGS
Move over boyfriend/vintage/boxy tee, because there’s a new girl in town and she’s got a snug fit, cute neckline and a bit of texture but is equally as comfy. Okay, so maybe I’m not quitting on my favorite cotton tops, but I am definitely making room for a new fit and style. It feels good […]
MOTHER’S DAY + FAMILY VALUES
I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! Still feeling extra grateful that these 5 made me a mama and for the crazy adventure and wild love that comes with motherhood. There is nothing like it. Of course we all know it’s not all morning snuggles and dance parties. It’s exhausting and challenging and […]
MINI MAKERS: WATERCOLOR FISH HATS WITH THE WILD
You guys! I’m so excited to share this fun project I got to dream up for my brother in-law, Mark, and the “School of Salmon” program a group of kids put together based on his film The Wild. The idea of SOS is to bring awareness to the planets last wild salmon run (which is […]
OOTW: EASY + CUTE “SOCCER MOM” OUTFITS (WITH SONNET JAMES)
It can be easy to get stuck styling dresses the same way over and over again so I thought it would be fun to put together a few looks using the same dress. They’re also ball-field approved for all you mamas spending evenings and weekends cheering on your kids while also playing with, keeping track […]
PARENTING HACK: EARLY RISER ACTIVITY BASKET
We all know that in most cases, after having kids, a full nights sleep becomes a rare luxury and a Saturday morning spent in bed isn’t going to happen anytime soon, and personally I’m okay with it. However, when the kids roll outta bed at 5:45am on a Saturday, it’s nice to have something quiet […]
10 COMPANIES THAT MAKE IT EASY TO TWIN WITH YOUR MINI
Me in the pic above: Thinking about what to name our pizzeria and when I can match with one of the kids again. For all my fellow matchy-matchy type mamas out there I thought I’d share a roundup of my favorite companies that make mom + mini twinning a no brainer. Snapped a few pics […]
HAPPY MONDAY + A FAMILY UPDATE
Can’t you just feel the warm pavement in this pic… after such a nice March (by PNW standards anyways), it’s been a rough, cold and rainy April until last week when the sun started making some appearances. Of course chunky sweaters are still a wardrobe staple but they feel more spring-ish when paired with sandals […]
