hat | sunglasses | top | necklace | backpack The sock boot seems to be on trend for fall and I'm not sure I can pull it off. Have you seen any purchase-worthy pairs and how would you style them? Neither of us purchased any sock boots for fall but I have seen them styled in a way that has me rethinking my decision. However, I feel like the sock boot trend is so specific and I'd need to have an … [Read more...]
Our Fall Five || Intention Setting
Can you believe it's time to say sayonara to Summer? Are you depressed that this is even a topic right now? Well buckle up because it's basically September.. RIP to pool days, afternoons at the beach and walks for iced coffees.. at least here in the PNW. It's time to set some intentions for Fall (we've been taking way too many yoga classes apparently and all about setting intentions lol). Seattle … [Read more...]

I wanted to get your opinion on the the Daily Harvest smoothies. Was looking to have some options on hand for desperate times once our babe arrives and I'm starving but can't see straight lol. Thoughts on them? I think it's a great idea! I ordered these for my sister and good friend who are both new mamas. For a new mom especially convenience is everything and most convenience foods aren't … [Read more...]

I'm wanting a new band for my apple watch...something a little nicer when I'm not working out. Any ideas? I hear ya! I like these mesh bands ($$) and got a really inexpensive rose gold one off amazon like this one. I feel like it loosens up and I'm having to tighten it a lot throughout the day, so maybe the more $$ one would work better? I also like these wrap bands, this leather band, and if … [Read more...]

My husband and I are heading to Napa next month for a wine tasting trip with friends and I'm struggling with what to wear.. it will be warm so I want to stay cool but don't want to wear anything too short that might be inappropriate in a wine tasting setting. Help! You already know what I'm going to say.. ROMPER! Or a dress but rompers make life easy (minus using whole having to pee part). I … [Read more...]
But First.. Coffee
Alix- what are your favorite smoothie flavors from Daily Harvest? I've liked pretty much all of the smoothies I've tried so far! The only ones I haven't loved is the cold brew + almond (which I was so excited about!) and the dragon fruit + lychee. My favs are pineapple + matcha, chai + coconut, mint + cacao, and blueberry + hemp. I have an apple + greens coming my way this week I'm excited to … [Read more...]

What is your favorite nursing bra and tank for those first few months when you're tender and sore from breastfeeding? Heather: I always wore Cake maternity sports bras during postpartum. They're a little pricey but worth it to me.. the material is extra soft and my boobs had no business being in any sort of real bra with underwire or straps digging into my skin. I needed comfort all day long. … [Read more...]

Did you use an app for tracking breastfeeding? Alix: No I'm old school and like to see it all written down. I kept a little journal with my feeding times (aiming for a minimum of 8 feeds/24 hours I believe) and a tally for poops and pees (for Quinn- not me haha). I think I did this for about a 1-2 weeks until she was gaining weight and we had a little routine down. I also had a hair tie I wore … [Read more...]

What does a healthy toddler diet look like? How much protein? do they really need from cow's milk, etc? First I'll say - every kiddo's needs are different so always ask your pediatrician for specific recommendations. I would also consult with your pediatrician about your child's need for cows milk and discuss how else your child is getting adequate dairy intake (cheese, yogurt, … [Read more...]
