    Mama+baby style: the cat and the fox

    These past few days, I have not been feeling great about myself. About my body, about my abilities as a housewife, about my mothering… you know those moments, when there isn’t anything particularly bad about life, but it still just feels off to you? I’m going through one of those moments. And I am not crying out for comments that I don’t need to lose weight or I must be a great mother or whatever… I just want to talk about it. There are a lot of fashion bloggers who happen to be moms, but I don’t think many of them talk about life as a mom, and how it…

    The Impossible Girl

    So one of my friends posted a link to this awesome cosplayer on Facebook this morning, and after seeing one of the cosplayer’s Clara Oswald cosplays, I decided… today, I had to be Clara. It’s based on this outfit, from the Christmas Special, and while it’s not perfect… I’m actually pretty happy with it. I made do with what I had, and I like how it turned out! I just wish I had an actual white blouse instead of a gray tee shirt, but oh well. I have been meaning to do a Clara inspired outfit (or cosplay) for quite some time, but I never felt like I had the…

    Daily Life

    Recently I’ve been wanting to introduce more daily life posts, because… life isn’t all about clothes, and my baby needs to be documented, and I want to improve my everyday photography. And… remind everyone that life, no matter how imperfect, is beautiful. So here are a few snapshots from a few weeks ago. This is my life. Morning: the wall above my bed, the baby in the bed (peeking out from under the covers), and breakfast of potato salad and coffee. Because I was lazy. Little boy wants food, little boy gets food. While mama’s still eating. Those blue eyes, you guys. So. BLUE. Morning naptime. Awake and wanting a…

    Summer afternoon

    I think this weekend is bringing on the (temporary) end of the beautiful weather we’ve had; it’s been cloudy all day today. But it might still be warm. Even with the clouds, yesterday was really, really nice. I make my family eat outside because it was way too nice to be indoors. Plus, I love a good outdoor table setting! I foresee a lot of outdoor eating this summer. My parents have a gorgeous yard with a bunch of fruit and nut trees for cover, and the ground is relatively flat. Perfect for doing lots of fun things outside! I really want to host an old-fashioned yard party, with bocce…

    Valentine’s Day Lookbook: Coffee Date

    Well, after what feels like a really, really long time, I am back! And I have a baby, and different hair (mommy makeover, yay!), and a new body (well… not pregnant), and so many things to share that I don’t even know where to begin! As I’m writing this, it’s been exactly two weeks since I’ve had Asa, and motherhood really isn’t exactly what everyone says it is. Other than the “you’ll be tired all the time” part. That… definitely true. But I don’t feel like it has dramatically changed my life. It’s just… normal. Normal to be looking over at the baby currently sleeping on the couch next to…
