Our Thanksgiving Tradition

Kailee_kids-54=Kailee_kids-55=

I am so excited today to be teaming up with Nordstrom to share with you one of our most favorite traditions during the holiday season!! So I’m sure just about everybody gets holiday pajamas on Christmas eve. A few years after my oldest was born I decided to change up our tradition a bit. Instead of my kids getting their Christmas pajamas at the very end of December (on Christmas Eve) I figured why not give them their pajamas early enough to wear all through December.

girls pj’s + our favorite striped ones  |  Hudson’s pj’s  |  baby Houston’s pj’s  |  blanket  |  stuffed lion  |  Elf on the Shelf  |  Reindeer + book  |  Reindeer socks + blanket

The Elf on the Shelf had been out for awhile and I wanted to introduce the little guy into our traditions that year as well!! So the opening of our “Christmas jammies” on Thanksgiving  was born! Every year on Thanksgiving we kick off the Christmas season by letting our little people open up their Christmas pajamas at the end of the night. The next morning our Elf on the Shelf arrives and the Christmas season has official begun at our house!! It has been such a fun tradition the kids look forward to all year long.

This year as I was shopping through Nordstroms Christmas pajamas I noticed The Elf on the Shelf Pet Reindeer and loved the fact that the kids could actually play + snuggle with the reindeer!! And of course Sparklez (she’s our Elf) needed a pet. Haha. The kids have really enjoyed the darling story behind it and Hayden is more then thrilled that she can actually sleep with our reindeer “Spark” at night.

I honestly love this time of year so much + all the excitement that comes with it! Watching our little people light up over every little thing makes the holidays so much more fun. This year we are actually doing Christmas differently and I can’t wait to share it with you all soon. Now tell me what are some of your favorite holiday traditions??!

Hayden’s dress + red shoes  |  Houston’s outfit

I always will gravitate to a comfortable + functional outfit when I’m out with my little people any day of the week! (which is usually always) Haha. I’ve learned after having four littles that that you don’t have to sacrifice fashion once you’ve got a van full of little people. Right now in this stage of my life I am nursing baby Houston, running little people back and fourth to soccer, dance, gym and school activities and more. So on crazy days like this I reach for my converse + jeans. Almost always. I also have to have a shirt that is easy to nurse in and won’t looked stretch out by the end of the day…so I usually go for a higher neck like this baseball tee. (please tell me you know what I mean when the your neckline is all stretched out by the end of the day)

Another huge trick that I have learned to help my life out in the laundry department is when I am dressing all of us for the day, I try to make sure at least two of us are wearing a color. So when I do laundry I can wash almost a day or two worth of outfits together!! Haha, but honestly it has helped me cut down on my laundry a ton!! Hope you all enjoy your weekend!! Happy Friday!!

Shirtdress + Dooney and Bourke

shirt dress  |  nude heels  |  purse  |  watch  |  bracelet + here  |  necklace  |  nail color

Right now I am loving shirt dresses!! I honestly can’t get enough. Probably because it’s such an easy outfit + it covers things you want to hide + they are so easy to nurse in!! And right now with the little man nursing shirt dresses are my saving grace! Also, does anyone remember Dooney and Bourke?!! Seriously, I remember my mom loving her “Dooney’s“. Haha. Well I am just in love this darling little pink purse + love the pop of color it adds to any outfit. Hope you all are having a fabulous day + thanks so much for stopping by!! Love your faces!!

I love good staple piece like this striped dress, that I can wear multiply times styled different ways. I seriously have worn this dress at least three times this week…running errands with my New Balances + denim jacket and all four of my little people in tow. Once with my favorite grey booties for a target run by myself (which felt like a vacation) haha, and then all I did was just add this black faux leather jacket to dress up the look for a girls night out!! Now go out and get yourself that great staple piece and wear it constantly!! Happy Friday!!

my shirt  |  floral pants  |  bedding + here  |  baby blanket

I am so excited today to be teaming up with Owlet + share with you guys how it has changed the way we sleep at night! When Owlet contacted me it couldn’t have been more perfect timing for our family. We had just had Houston and of course with a new baby come sleepless nights, and the middle of the night feedings is not what I’m talking about…it’s the worrying through the night if my baby is going to be okay.

I’m always paranoid about Sids or having my baby stop breathing in the middle of the night and me not know. I have been like this with all my babies. I hope I’m not the only one?  I’ve seen huge monitors that go underneath a crib mattress (we actually bought one with our first baby) but it was not actuate and would go off all the time. Which didn’t help my anxiety at all…it only made it worse. So we had to stop using it, but I still couldn’t get over the scary feelings.

Owlet is a baby breathing monitor that goes on your baby’s foot!! Seriously, I about died when I started doing my research online about it + when I read it had alerted a few parents and potentially saved their babies lives I knew we had to get one! When the Owlet came in the mail I couldn’t wait to get it on Houston’s foot!! To be able to sleep at night and know that Houston will be okay has given me back such a calmness at night, not to mention I feel like I can truly rest at ease in between those late night feedings knowing that an alarm will sound if anything were to happen to him. I also love that I can check my phone for his hate rate + oxygen levels. Simply the best.

Owlet has honestly changed the way we sleep at night!! So much that I have bought a few monitors for my pregnant friends that get super worried like myself. Seriously, I don’t think you can every put a price tag on something like this!! Trust me —  Baby Owlet Monitor  is a game changer!!

It’s Tuesday friends…new week, new vibes, new outfit!! I’m SO ready for fall here in SoCal as it has been over 90 degree’s until today!! So now we can really start wearing long sleeves and not sweat to death. haha. I am really loving all the plaid shirts out there + they make nursing Houston super easy. I might have gone crazy and  bought at least 4 plaid button ups in the last month, but can you blame me? Comfort plus convience always win me over. Also, I get asked about these jeans daily. They are seriously my FAVORITE jeans ever!!! So much that I bought a 2nd pair. The fit is not too lose and not too tight and the rips are amazing + they are $90!!

family pictures tips + ideas

MEP_4325-1MEP_4370-1MEP_4135-1MEP_4255-1MEP_4345-1
It’s that time of year again…family picture time. My husband cringes at the word + I think he honestly thinks I just love to torture him. Haha. I personally have a love/hate with the whole family pictures. They are so stressful…from picking out all the outfits, to making sure everyones hair is done, no one spills on their clothes or runs through the mud + somehow that’s when the sibling fighting always seems to happen and by time we sit down for pictures I’m usually a hot sweaty mess looking like a drowned dog just trying to survive it all!! Is anyone with me?!

So here are just a few helpful tips for family pics that I have learn through out the years with four little people.

  • As far as outfit planning…pick/buy YOUR outfit first and then plan around the one outfit. I think it’s easier to base off one outfit and then go from there. This year I knew I needed somehthing nursing friendly + something that could comoflage my postpartum stomach so I went with this amazing shirt dress! Plus you want to feel good about yourself, becuase most of the time we are sending these pictures out to family or hanging them on our walls!! Haha. Hence the reason I say pick your outfit first.
  • Plan a time that is good for you + the family…where you’ll have PLENTY of extra time to get everyone ready. (with no other activities for that day)
  • Wash everyones hair + yours the day before to cut down on time getting ready (and just incase you have a bad hair day) and don’t try something new or fancy for any hairstyles that day.
  • Have all outfits ironed + hung a few days before. Along with all little peoples shoes cleaned if needed.
  • Feed everyone before!! It doesn’t matter what time it is…if everyone is full it = more happiness. Trust me.  Also bring snacks, gum, toys (like their favorite truck or pacifier) for the little people. Trust me if you see your sons favorite car in his hand it is not going to matter at all + you’ll probably love the picture more because of the memory.

I hope that helps a bit!! Learn from my mistakes and just try to relax. Also my photographer said to me once…if you try not to expect anything out our your youngest little people (so prepare for the worst) It will always turn out way better then what you thought! Happy Tuesday friends!! If you have any words of advice + tips please pass them along!!

So I am so loving the all white trend right now + who said you couldn’t wear white after Labor Day?! Haha. I honestly have always owned a pair of white jeans and loved them!! I know a bunch of my friends were afraid to wear white because it gets dirty… I think they are the easiest thing to wash because, if you ever get a stain on them that can’t come out…just bleach it!! Totally stain proof! This is one of my go to outfits for fall. Hope you love it + Happy Friday!!
