My Favorite Christmas Traditions

Family
Peppermint hot chocolate. The Macy’s Windows. All the twinkling lights along Michigan Avenue. A Charlie Brown Christmas & Vince Gauraldi tunes. A light snowfall & cup of coffee by the fire… The best part of the holiday season is celebrating special traditions year after year.

Holiday Outfits•OUTFITS
Hi friends! I hope you’re having a great week :) I’ve been trapped inside the house the last two days with heavy rain which was great for watching Christmas movies but gave me a serious case of cabin fever. I’m so happy I got out and enjoyed the warm weather today! It will be 14 degrees in Chicago next week and I’m bracing myself to freeze. But you know I’ll be enjoying those chilly mornings by the fire in...

I had the best visit with my sisters last weekend and now I’m looking forward to last minute Christmas celebrations in Austin. You guys, I feel like ‘the fog’ has lifted.

Loving Your Postpartum Body

PERSONAL
I cannot believe my baby is ten weeks old, intentionally smiling, sleeping long stretches at night, and looking more like a little boy every day. It’s crazy how much changes in a few weeks. And each one gets better than the last! I wanted to start this post by saying how grateful I am to have Charlie and to have been able to carry my own child. I know there are a lot of women who would love to...

Happy Thanksgiving Week Friends! I can’t believe it’s just two days away.  I’m feeling extra grateful for family this year, particularly the amount of time we’ve been able to spend with everyone.
