Links and Loves {February}

February 25, 2016

Wanted to share a few links and loves from the past month, starting with adventures with Bryce…love this kid!

adventures with bryce
And speaking of baby, these podcasts from Oakland Avenue are awesome.  And this post really hit home. Oh, and I plan on attempting these baby smoothie pops.

Is anyone as excited as I am for the Fuller House season to come out tomorrow? My adolescent self is giddy…

Lately, I’ve been doing these workouts (alternating with running) and am loving it- especially the 30 minute part.

And when I get a free moment do team up with T for a DIY project (ha!), I’ve got this in mind for our sofa and this for our dining room.

And rounding it out with a few more loves…

This hammer is a baptism gift for our Godchild. It says “The wise man builds his house upon the rock.” -Matthew 7:24 and I love that this will be a great keepsake for him for years to come. But I have to say, it was 100% my husband’s idea, so he gets the credit. And Etsy for the win! Love how it turned out.

Guys. These frozen greek yogurt bars are legit. We got them from Costco, and I think we will need to restock real soon. They pack a ton of flavor and literally taste like Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies, no joke. And they are 100 calories.  I need to try all their other flavors…stat.

Got a lovely surprise in the mail from Sticky Be Socks, a place I love to shop. They not only make great barre socks in tons of colors with great sayings, but they make them for BABY!  Perfect for some extra grip as Bryce starts to walk all over the place- genius!  (I love wearing them around the house on our wood floors so I don’t slip as I chase him around either!) Needless to say, we have them on repeat at our house (case in point), and I love that we can do a mother-son matching look- adorbs.  Can’t.get.enough.

What are you loving lately?

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • #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;'>
    • 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.
