Casual Mom Mode

Are you guys ready for Christmas?! I am starting to get really excited for all the fun headed our way! :) I still have some things to wrap and lots of grocery shopping to do... But we are starting to feel more prepared for Santa and family coming into town. Now if I could just find a magical fairy to come and finish unpacking and decorating my house... 

I love this top worn here because it's so easy to dress up or down. Pieces like this are my jam! (You can see this same top dressed up here.) This ruched sleeve top is so soft and comfy. #love These Vans are my go-to on casual days. They are so comfortable and look nice because of the fabric. Unlike my Converse or Toms type of shoe, these look a little sleeker and clean. I really love them and highly recommend!

I've had a major love affair with these joggers lately and can't get enough. I will link tons of joggers I am loving below. This type of casual look is how I dress most of the time. I just need to be comfortable so I can chase after my kids!

Christmas Cake + Hot Chocolate

Ok. These pics. I can hardly handle all the cuteness. Honestly. I love doing little shoots like this with the kiddies. They are so much fun and the pictures are always my favorite. I got the entire family matching Christmas pjs this year. I've never done this before and I'm so happy I did it this year. I wanted to do this shoot with all five of us, but due to lots of sickness and other chaos going on, it just didn't work out. So we had to shoot on a day while TJ was at school and daddy was at work.

I really have fun setting up the kids little table for the holidays. I kept the house super simple this year for Christmas (just a tree, stockings and nativity set!) but wanted to do a little something with their table. They get so excited when they wake up and the table has new decorations on it! :) Makes my heart so happy. So we had a little morning date with hot chocolate and Christmas cake. So fun!

Almost all the table decor is from Target - linking everything below. Pjs from Hanna Andersson. These little kids are so much fun. Seeing the magical moments in their eyes this time of year is priceless! We are so excited for Santa to visit us at our new house! :)

This is Blakes new goofy grin. LOL I love it. haha

Love creating these holiday memories with the kiddies!!!

Kiddie Fall Style

I love getting pictures of the kiddies taken in this phase of life. The kids are changing so much right now. I already look back at photos from just six months ago and can't believe how much they've changed! And these little fall outfits they're in, I can't handle the cuteness! :) Blakely's leopard shoes are a favorite of mine. This is the second pair I've had of these leopard shoes for her because they are just too cute (and she's growing like a weed!). And Blakely's fur vest. I die. 

Ryder is getting pickier about what he wears. He prefers shorts and all things comfy. Ha! He is my child. It's a struggle to get him in denim and anything other than short sleeve tees. But he's good about getting "dressed up" for school and church. But the second we get home, he changes. ;) Most of their outfits are from Old Navy and they are currently having a sale, so snag stuff while you can! You can shop my look here.
