Plaid Love

Hey guys! I'm loving this plaid shirt because it's so long in the back! I can easily dress this shirt up or down, pairing it with leggings and flats. I'm loving plaid tops right now! I hate when shirts aren't quite long enough to wear with leggings. I LOVE leggings and shirts just need to be long when wearing leggings to cover the tush. The woman helping me at Express recommended I get this shirt a size smaller than my normal size because it's "oversized". But I didn't! I love over sized tops! Button ups are also so convenient when nursing. I just wear a nursing tank underneath and boom. Easy access in 2 seconds. 

I love distressed denim and I'm still wearing my maternity jeans here! Blake was just 7 weeks old here and my maternity jeans are just more comfortable right now. I don't need a constant reminder from my pre-pregnancy jeans that I'm not quite back to my norm. So, maternity jeans it is! Ha! These are the only maternity jeans I can still wear because they are tighter. All my other maternity jeans slip down and I'm constantly pulling them up. I'll link maternity and non-maternity AG jeans below because I love this brand and it's definitely worth the splurge. Every time I go cheap on jeans I regret it. They just don't fit the same. Dang it! I guess I won't be "Forever 21".

Comfy Oversized Sweater

Seriously loving the cool, fall weather today! I got some questions about this sweater when I posted pictures about my collaboration with Freshly Picked. This sweater is so comfy! Who doesn't love oversized, comfortable sweaters in the fall/winter?! These are the same jeans I wore in my last post. Where I recommended getting them a little big so you can really move around in them with your kiddos. I love having realistic pieces I can dress up or down depending on where I'm going. And have I mentioned I love blue?! :) These heels are some of my favs. Hope you're all enjoying the cooler weather today!

Cozy-Casual

I love having some comfy pants that I can actually move in! Sometimes I'll buy a pair a size up just because I like having a little extra wiggle room to be able to move around and play on the floor or at the park with my kiddos. This shirt is so easy to throw on and I love that it's longer so I can also wear it with leggings! And every girl needs a comfy pair of leopard flats! :) I use this clutch all the time and love that it is larger so I can throw more than just my keys and CC in it. Every mom needs realistic clothes she can throw on and be comfortable in!

Comfy Grays

Now that fall is officially here, I feel the need to bust out the open toed shoes and short dresses one more time while it's still warm enough! This shirt-dress is SO comfy. It's also loose and forgiving in those "fourth trimester" days. Loose, comfy clothes are a must after having a baby! I can pair it with flip flops to make it super casual and feel put together without doing much at all. Ryder and Blakes were able to join me in these pics. Look at my teeny tiny 6 week old baby girl! And Ryder. Could this kid be any cuter?! He's such a stud and gets more handsome by the minute. He had a blast running around! Him and that binki... Swoon...

Blakely Gray - 2 months

This little cutie has stolen all of our hearts over here. Lincoln is very protective. He likes to be very near her and barks at any little noise! Annoying LOL but cute. He always sits right next to her when she's in her swing and it prevents the swing from swinging ha! Such a good guard dog ;) If she ever cries and I'm not right by her, he comes over to me all concerned like "are you gonna go get her, mom?!". Ryder is also concerned about her when she's upset. Always trying to rock her in her rocker chair and giving her the binki.

Somehow she keeps getting cuter and those cheeks keep getting chubbier. I just love it! She's starting to smile back at us and it just makes my heart so happy! She's still a great little eater and sleeper. Giving me at least 6 hours at night. Now if only I could also be sleeping during those hours!! She does great in her bassinet next to our bed and loves being hummed to. Her hair is getting longer and I can tuck it behind her little ears now which is SO cute! :) Her lashes are getting longer and her eyes are still changing. Sometimes they look gray and other times dark blue or green. She's already grown out of some of her 3 month old pj's, reminding me that she's growing too fast! She's pretty chill and loves to cuddle - which I am really enjoying. Whenever I put her in any type of carrier on my chest, she's so calm and cozy and falls right to sleep. I love it!

At night after Ryder goes to bed I just lay with her on the couch and stare at her. Watching her breathe and make cute little faces in her sleep. Just the sweetest! Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with love for her I worry I'm gonna squeeze her too tight and hurt her! LOL At her 2 month appointment she weighted in at 11 pounds, 3 ounces and was almost 23 inches long! She loves her binki (just like Ryder did - does!) and brings our family so much joy!

We love you baby girl!!!

                                               

Freshly Picked Moccasins

Hey guys! Blakely and I are so excited to share with you a recent collaboration we did with Freshly Picked! These moccasins are just the cutest things I ever did see. Not only are they amazingly adorable (for girls and boys!) but they actually stay on newborn feet! The quality of these shoes is top notch. I can't wait to get Blakely more pairs in different colors and patterns.

I know I'm biased, because I'm her mother... But Blakely is just the cutest! I swear she stops people in their tracks! :) Once they've spent enough time gushing over her adorable chubby cheeks, they always mention how cute these moccasins are. If B isn't in pj's, she's wearing these soft, cute little moccasins with every outfit.

Look at B rockin her cute moccs...

If you're looking for a great gift to give a new Mommy, these are it! :) Go to Freshly Picked to see all the cute colors and patterns to choose from. Also, check out their sizing chart. This was so helpful for me! I always stress about what size to buy baby clothes and shoes and this sizing chart made it so simple. Happy shopping, my friends! :)

            

Adventures in Tiny Town

A couple weekends ago we went up to Tiny Town and had so much fun! I went a few times when I was a kid but I don't remember it because I was so little. Both Ryder and TJ had a blast! The weather was beautiful and it was so cute watching Ryder run around exploring. I know I've said it before but TJ truly is the best big brother and is always watching after Ryder man and making sure he's ok. Watching the two of them play and laugh together just makes me all :) :) :) :) :) 

He will NOT look at the camera. I miss the days where we could make funny noises and use a squeaky toy to get his attention and make him smile. I am in love with his amazing blue eyes but I can never capture them because he refuses to look at the camera! Grr...

Oh my heart! Those cheeks! Those rolls! EVERYTHING <3

6 week old little baby girl.

I wasn't a big fan of my Moby wrap with Ryder. But I've been using it a ton with Blakely and have really enjoyed it. Huge bonus: I can nurse her while wearing it and still chase after Ryder!

Ryder loved the train ride and kept saying "cool!". :)

Still can't believe we're a family of FIVE!
