    Harry Potter Vibes || Autumn Capsule Day Three

    Settling Into a Mood This outfit is not at all what I thought I would wear for day three of the autumn capsule wardrobe challenge. When I first started putting together the outfit, I had a plaid blazer with this skirt. It is a navy blue, with a muted red being the main accent, and alongside that is a small yellow stripe. In my head, the combination seemed perfect. But when I tried it on it was far too extra for my  mood. I was feeling much more like wearing something that said “I’m wandering the moors in a dramatic dress.” Unfortunately, I don’t have a dramatic dress – but…

    Modern does 1940’s in a Mango Clothing Dress

    This weekend, my mom and I are going away on a little holiday to the ocean. After her doctor ordered her to take a stay in a “tall cement building”, to see if the mold or mildew that’s possibly in my parents’ house could be bothering her allergies, she immediately texted me and said she wanted to take me with her. It’s probably the first time I’ve ever been away from my kids and husband for more than a day… ever. And to say I’m excited is an understatement. I think every mama can relate to needing some time away. Whether it be a few hours for coffee, a day…

    Mother-Daughter: Evie’s First Birthday

    Last month, I started planning a way to wear these beautiful flower crowns that my friend Caitlyn made us for a mother-daughter photoshoot for Evie’s first birthday. I am so excited to share those photos now; they turned out exactly how I had hoped they would! If you’re in the PNW and are searching for a photographer, by the way, these were taken by my husband and you can find us on Facebook as Suko Photography. I cannot believe Evie is a year old already. It doesn’t seem like a full year ago that we brought this beautiful  bundle home with us after a short labor and five minutes of…

    Strawberries and Polka Dots | Mama+ Baby Style

    I use some links in this post that earn me money if you purchase from them! But these products were 100% purchased with my own money and I love ’em. Thank you for supporting me and my blog! I have been wanting to introduce mother+daughter style posts for a while (I would try mother+son, but Asa refuses to be photographed these days!), but I always felt like we had to match. And the thing is, Evie and I don’t have many outfits that match. She primarily has pinks and purples, while those two colors are the ones that I own the least of. So today, since I wasn’t quite feeling…

    Evie Rose: Seven Months

    Somehow, I neglected to share her six month photos. Probably because I tried twice and didn’t really like them either time, but… I did make a video, which you can watch here! And now, she’s seven months old. She has officially tipped the scale towards one, and I am so not ready for it! This pretty girl is such a personality. She is a sunshine baby,  but a very quiet one until suddenly, she wants something. And then EVERYONE knows it. I’m always surprised by how loud she can get; one minute she’s minding her own business, the next she’s yelling because a toy is too far away. She makes…
