I thought sharing little tidbits about my life lately, things I like, do, want, etc. might be a fun way for you guys to get to know me a little better. So here goes:
Family Photos
Denver, Family, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Parenting, Style, summer
We recently had some family photos taken and I’m obsessed with how they turned out. We used a local photographer Libby Felche who is so nice, it made taking pictures with a sleepy 1-year-old easy.
One-Shoulder Ruffle Top
Denim, Denver, Fall, Family, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Mountain, Style, Sweater Weather, travel
We had a weekend getaway to the mountains and it was so nice to get out of the city and just relax with my boys. We slept in, went hiking, and went for a drive to take in the changing leaves.
The Prettiest Lavender Eyelet Top
Denim, Denver, fashion, Motherhood, Parenting, Warm Weather Go-Tos
I recently picked up THE prettiest top on sale at J.Crew. I live for summer and love to pair pretty tops with distressed denim jean shorts. It’s my go-to combination for easy, chic outfits.
Baby Boy’s First Birthday Party
Birthday Celebration, Decor, Denver, Entertaining, Family, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Parenting, summer
I recently started reading the 5 Love Languages and although I’m not very far into the book, I’m wondering if there is a “Making A Big Deal Out of Milestones, Events and Parties” love language?! Because if so, that’s me to a T. I live to celebrate the special occasions in life… baby showers, birthday parties, bachelorette parties… sign me up! I will pin ideas, craft decorations, and be the first one there.
Carter’s first birthday party was no exception, and actually my inner party-planner took over and relished in the experience.
Happy First Birthday Baby Boy
Birthday Celebration, Family, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Parenting
We’ve rocked countless hours,
Counted life in weeks and months.
I’ve kissed your cheeks,
your toes,
your Buddha belly,
your rolling thighs,
your fingertips a million times,
maybe more.
I turned thirty, just weeks before you turned one.
I got my first gray hair, while you grew a full head.
You’ve laughed while I cried and I you.
I’ve lost sleep, tracked milestones, snapped countless pictures, and stared at you in complete awe.
You are the best and hardest thing I have ever done.
My heart has grown and exploded with a love I’ve never known.
I have loved every minute of this first year and cherish being your mommy. Love watching you grow and learn. Love seeing your budding personality. Love your infectious laughter. Love your (still) toothless grin. Love your wispy, uneven hair.
I yearn to keep you little but am excited for what’s in store. You’ll accomplish great things little one and I’ll be here, next to you, watching, cheering, celebrating.
Happy birthday baby boy.
Love,
Mom

A New Mom’s Must-Haves for The First Year
Family, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Nursery, Parenting
My baby’s first birthday is a week from today and although I have no idea how that happened, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to list my must-haves for the first year as a new mom. Since parenting is a moving target, I don’t use all of these things now but at some point in the past twelve months I’ve desperately needed each of these items and have been so grateful for their existence. Whether it was bouncing my newborn to sleep on an exercise ball (which just so happens to be a fab ab workout), soothing diaper rash or testing my breast milk to make sure it was safe for my little to drink after a glass (or two) of wine. See my favorites as a first-time mom!

Blush Gingham and Blossoms
Denver, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Spring, Style
We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in Denver but there’s just something about full-on Spring! I’m really enjoying the warm weather, longer days and love that everything is so beautiful in bloom this time of year. Driving by these blossoming trees in my neighborhood puts a smile on my face each day! Pink is one of my favorite colors in any shade and I’m so happy that it’s everywhere this season in nature and in fashion.
Winter White
Accessories, Denim, Denver, Family, fashion, lifestyle, Motherhood, Parenting, Sweater Weather, Winter
Give your winter wardrobe a break from black and a breathe of fresh air with all white! Now that our February heat wave has come to a halt and there should be a light dusting of snow in Denver today, it’s the perfect time to try the monochromatic color coding in a palette of winter white.
