I cannot stress enough how much fun we had traveling from Texas, back home to Oregon, last week. My husband and I wanted some National Parks to dictate our route home, and I’m so very grateful we took the extra time to make that happen. It’s breathtaking, our country!! I find it’s impossible not to feel in
Gettin' Skooled
I cannot believe we only have a few more days left here in Texas! Despite being sick on and off for most of our stay, we’ve had the best month ever! We recently spent a morning/afternoon at the Fort Worth Museum, and stayed until they practically kicked us out – we all had such a
A Flare for Double Denim
Okay. Three things. 1. THIS DENIM SHIRT. I have been looking foreverrrr for a thin, ultra-soft, color-varied, western-style denim shirt that wasn’t $300, and I recently found the perfect specimen at AEO ($49!). I am in love. It’s so light, airy, and has a perfect drape (if in between sizes, size up). So. Happy. 2.
Spring Surprises
So far, spring for us has been full of all kinds of surprises. First, we recently made a temporary move to Texas for my husband’s work with barely a week’s notice, and had a blast making a fun, adventurous road trip out of it for our littles (and us!). Next, I wasn’t really expecting to…
Chic Street
We shot this on theeee most beautiful day in Portland. Bright blue skies, blooming, flowering beauties everywhere…. My husband and I just spent the morning exploring the city, and here are some snaps of one my favorite streets near China Town. Shirt: Banana Republic | Jeans: Madewell | Jacket: Madden Girl (similar style) | Clutch: J.Crew
A Colorful Spring in My Step
This weather transition thing is tricky. It can be downright hot in the middle of the afternoon in direct sunlight, and then freezing in the mornings/evenings, or even just in the shade! Layers are key, but because I’m all ready for spring, and the warm, sunny moments tell me it’s spring, I’m ditching drab, blacks
Pinstripes + High-Tops
I’ve been a longtime Converse fan, but it wasn’t until recently that I did a little wikipedia research on the company. It was an interesting read! It was founded in 1908, originally manufacturing sporty shoes for tennis, but I found this to be the most intriguing: “The company’s main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star
Hi Ya, Sunny!
Oh, my Jude. He’s my biggest baby with the biggest heart. I should clarify big: he was born two weeks early, weighing 8.3 lbs (he would have been over a whopping 9 if he went full term!), and he arrived hungry. And is still always hungry. For the first year of his life, he was
Ice Dream Date
I recently went on a little ice cream date with my 6-year-old son, and I can’t tell you how unbelievably sweet the whole experience was! It expanded far beyond the 45 minutes of precious, one-on-one time (and in our crazy, 4-kiddo fam, one-on-one time is Holy Grail sacred). In the days leading up to it,
Space Travel
My baby boy turned three! How did that happen?! We all talk about how fast it all goes by, because it’s all too true. This is the beginning of a Brand New Era for my husband and I. Having 4 kiddos in 4.5 years, has meant that we’ve been digging in the baby/toddler trenches for 7.5
