I’ve been dreading making the switch from two naps to one, but we are FINALLY doing it! I’d been clinging on to the two-nap thing for so long, but the thing that really helped me determine it’s time (and gave me the confidence to make the change) was actually a simple nap guide from Megan Pierson of Sleep Shop. Megan specializes in all things toddler, and her mini-nap guide actually lists specific signs that it’s…
In just a couple of weeks, we’ll be joining with some friends that have become family at the Orange County fairgrounds to march in support of preemie babies and March of Dimes. Obviously it’s a cause SO close to our hearts, so I’ve been looking forward to May 11th for months!!! I want to invite ANYONE and EVERYONE to join our team and march with us. Whether you have a personal connection to the cause,…
Anyone who’s seen me lately knows I’m tired (probably just by looking at me!) I honestly didn’t think having twins was that hard, until they learned to walk. Chasing them around now is exhausting, and if you look away for a second they’re into something dangerous. There are a lot of things that I’d do if I had one baby, but can’t physically manage with two. They don’t want to be in a stroller anymore,…
Because it’s almost spring, and we all could use a little bit more yellow in our lives ;)…. xx Jen Shop my favorite white dresses and jumpsuits here!
I just ordered five things from Free People that I ended up loving – each under $100! Have you guys bought from their “Beach” line before? Sometimes I like to go on the site and just shop “FP Beach” – it’s usually less expensive and super comfy! I bought this dress in two colors, this set in two colors, and this romper. This set is SO soft and comfy – I’ve literally worn it for…
Recently a family member sent me an article from the Wall Street Journal entitled, For Parents of Ill Children, a Growing Recognition of PTSD. As I read the article, I couldn’t help but cry. I felt so validated for so many feelings I’ve had over the last 18 months, and so much less alone to be able to put specifics words (and a scientific study) to those feelings. PTSD and the NICU PTSD in soldiers who’ve seen…
I didn’t really love shopping in-store before, but I especially don’t like it now with the girls. I’m NOT a mall person – I will pretty much choose any activity over going to the mall! Another thing I don’t love? Waiting for items to ship. I want it FAST and I want it FREE ;). I am still in awe of how reliable/fast shipping has become. Here are my favorite places to order who really…
I’m all about black in winter, and ready to break out the white come spring! Wearing white can be tough with babies, but I refuse to give it up. If you’ve got messy babies too, just check and make sure it’s machine washable before you buy ;). I love wearing white now that we’re starting to have some sunny days, and also love the idea of wearing it for Easter, too! The white dress below…
Since I’ve become so familiar with baby stuff/gear, I’m asked daily for baby gift ideas. Embarrassingly enough, this is a question I have a hard time answering. It’s tough to find something to give someone that they don’t already have, that they will actually use, and that will hold some sort of meaning. I was so excited when I received framed prints from Still Novel, because they’re so unique and special. When I received my own…
I admit I’m an extremely sentimental person, and it’s been interesting (to say the least) to see how it plays out now that I have babies. Especially considering the fact that my babies spent the first three months of their lives in the hospital. Someone should probably do some kind of study on the weird things that’s done to me ;). It sounds weird, but one of the things I’ve become really attached to are…
OOTD
