July 24, 2026 No Comments

Summer has been soooo good to us! we’ve been enjoying lots of warm summer days swimming, exploring, gardening, and such. My oldest has gone to our school’s summer rec program a couple days a week and my youngest is always home with me and my little sidekick. I have been finding a good rhythm of getting what I need to get done finished and also making time to enjoy our time together and it’s been great. We have about 6 weeks of summer left and we’re trying to make the most of every moment. Here are some of the outfits I’ve been wearing to BBQ’s, the library, days exploring nature, days at home, date nights, and more.

I have been LOVING wearing my boxer shorts this summer– this army green pair, the black and white gingham and the red stripes have been on heavy rotation. They looks so cute with so many kinds of tops and are lightweight and comfy.

Recent Outfits as a Petite Mom Who is Always Trying to Balance Cute and Practical Style

June 22, 2026 No Comments

Like everyone else, I am excited for long summer days, colorful outfits, and school being out. My kids get out this week and they are so excited and can’t wait! Here are some of the outfits I’ve been wearing as we lead up to these days. As usual, I like to keep my outfits simple enough to be able to run around and chase my kiddos in, but also cute enough to feel good and like myself. It’s a balance that is sometimes difficult and sometimes easy, depending on weather, what we have going on, and how my body is feeling that day (and if it’s that time of the month, haha). But for the most part, I feel like I was able to do it with these looks. What do you think?
