Some recent links & loves for ya…

On the parenting front:

  • Some great tips on how to have a date night at home without kids
  • LOVING this round up of “I Wish I’d Known…”  So true!
  • Great pieces for mommas on how it’s not what you were expecting…

For the funnies:

  • Shelter dogs in a photo booth.  Just awesome.
  • Pampers just put together an amazing ad: babies pooping in slow motion.  I was lucky enough to capture Bryce’s moment above.  Saving this one for 18 years down the road…

On the fitness scene:

  • Bugaboo stroller brand misses the mark in their new ad campaign…like WAY off mark.
  • Green Bay gives flex time to its employees for half marathon training.  Bravo, Wisconsin!
  • Amazing video of how fit moms are happy moms for their kids.

Style-wise:

  • Ever wonder the most colorful states in terms of how they dress?  Very interesting…
  • The Nordstrom Anniversary sale may be over, but these dressing room selfies and blog post are just hilarious.
  • After buying my navy scalloped print dress, I am looking here for style inspiration!  A plain navy dress is such a classic piece, and there are so many ways to remix it!What have you been reading lately?

    I saw that Bugaboo campaign and could not believe it! I mean seriously, who were they hoping to relate to?!

      I know- tell me about it! I couldn’t believe it and thought it was a spoof, but apparently not!

    • "Snow" much fun! ❄
    • Got an opportunity to volunteer in Bryce
    • 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.
    • 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. Read about them at the-style-files.com. #linkinprofile #ad #momsmeet #lovecorn @momsmeet @lovecorn_snacks

    • #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.

    • 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.
