Lazy Saturday Reading: Links & Loves

July 11, 2015

IMG_20150614_101043

Happy weekend!  Looking for some lazy Saturday reading?  Here are some of my favorites from around the web…

On the baby front:
-I am a huge organization/planner freak.  So clearly, I am in love with Emily Ley’s planners.  But did you know she just created a baby book?  Adding this to my wish list!
-Fellow Chicago blogger Jen knows what’s up.  She has 12 parenting secrets that shouldn’t be secret.  So true!

Style-wise:
-Although the 4th has passed, I love this 9 pieces/9 outfits roundup featuring classic and casual summer pieces in red and navy.
-What’s your style, exactly?  Merrick nailed it with her 8 steps to finding your personal style.

For all the feels:
-Whatever advertising genius came up with this video for a storage company is great.  Moms- betcha you can’t make it all the way through without crying…maybe even ugly crying.
-Did you hear about this class valedictorian that posted on Instagram for all 657 of his classmates? So touching and nice to see versus all the negative issues that come up with social media.

Eats:
-I’ve been making this Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe from Hungry Girl on repeat.  Only a few ingredients (including PB2) and only 4 Weight Watchers points!
-Check out this fellow momma’s good for you snacks that are Weight Watchers friendly, which I’m totally on board with.

Randoms:
-Men have “man caves,” so women should have their equivalent.  How about a “she shed“?!

    • Over the last five+ years of being a mom, my style has evolved quite a bit. Gone are the days of being dressed for the office every day. Now my work-from-home life meets stay-at-home mom life requires what I wear to be both comfortable and practical without sacrificing style. I still love getting myself put together for the day, even if that means a day of working at home, running errands and playing outside. So I put together three practical yet stylish outfits featuring some tried and true clothing favorites from @everlane, a brand I love for quality, ethically made items.
    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?! I’m sharing a roundup of some of my favorite snacks that span salty, savory and sweet. Whether it’s an after school snack, road trip supply, Netflix/sports accompaniment, family movie night or just a little pick-me-up, I’ve got ya covered with options that you won’t feel guilty about later since these snacks are all comprised of a simple, clean ingredients.

    • We enjoyed some gorgeous greenery at the domes today. It was like we were on a tropical island with all the lush vegetation... almost In awe of such beauty, especially when snow is stacked high and temps are so low all around us.
    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats. Lately, I' src='http://the-style-files.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-slider-widget/assets/image.png' class='GraphSidecar' style='opacity: 0;'>
