dress: Leith (on sale for $33) | cardigan: Leith (on sale for $45) It's officially Spring and Easter is right around the corner so I thought I'd share my top Easter dresses/jumpsuits under $100. I recently found myself on ASOS website and they've stepped up their game and their price point can't be beat. However, I also linked some options from ol' faithful: Nordstrom and Revolve. These outfits … [Read more...]
My Sleep Training Experience: A Version of Cry It Out
Sleep training. I'm afraid to even say those two little words because of how much controversy and opinion it stirs up. However, over the past 3 years I have received countless emails and texts from friends asking about my sleep training experience and how I got my kids to sleep from 6:30 pm-6:30 am by the time they were 4 months old. I wish I could say that I sleep trained my babies without … [Read more...]
How to Conquer NYC in 3 Days
Outfit deets: hat | sunglasses | tee | coat | leggings | shoes | bag I am currently on a plane home from Boston and I can't wait to see my two boys-but damn, what a fun trip Britt and I had. We spent three nights in NYC and three nights in Boston and it was glorious. We haven't traveled together since before Jackson was born and it was such a good reminder why we chose each other in the first … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
TGIF! Did this week seem really long to anyone else? While Heather is busy living it up in NYC and Boston this weekend (her food, shopping, and champs insta stories are giving me serious FOMO) I'll be holding down the fort in Seattle. Good news though..the weather in Seattle is looking quite promising...hello sunshine + low 60's (never thought I'd be so excited for low 60's). I'll cheers to … [Read more...]
Sugar Talk Part I: Natural Sugar vs Added Sugar
Sugar seems to be at the root of all that is wrong in the health world these days…obesity, diabetes, cancer, acne, and maybe even why your kiddo is acting like a circus animal. My intention is to never demonize a food or food group because food is not inherently “good” or “bad” it’s just food. Black and white thinking about food or nutrients is dangerous. I've worked with many clients around … [Read more...]
Currently Craving
You thought I was talking about food, didn't you? I'll leave that up to Alix. For me - it's all about the clothes. I don't know about you guys but I feel like it's such a weird time in the stores. The in between season thing is a real drag and while I want to add some pieces to my wardrobe for spring, I can't find anything in the actual stores. Enter online shopping - what a dream. Revolve and … [Read more...]
My Top Registry Picks + What to Expect Postpartum
It's been a while since I've had a newborn (a year to be exact) but don't get it twisted - I remember the sleepless nights, spit up and blow outs like it was yesterday. I have successfully kept a 1 year old and 3 year old alive and still going strong so I feel like I have some credibility when it comes to baby registry items ;) And I have been to so many baby showers in recent years/months/weeks … [Read more...]
Pre & Post Workout Nutrition Guide
Making smart choices about how you fuel your body before and after activity can have a significant impact on your performance and recovery. I’m always surprised when friends and clients tell me they do not eat anything before a workout or how long they wait to refuel after a workout. There is a lot of confusion and misinformation about how to properly fuel an active body, so l want to simplify it … [Read more...]
My Winter Skincare Routine
I'm a little obsessed when it comes to skincare and finding the right routine. I'm always changing it up and adding new products to the lineup. But, I also try and stick to a single product for at least 4-6 weeks before switching it out as I believe that it takes at least a month to see results. However, I don't know about you but when I walk into a Sephora or browse past the makeup counters in … [Read more...]
My Potty Training Experience in 3 Days
Ok don't be fooled by the title. Yes, my son was basically potty trained in three days (except for naps and nighttime - different story, different blog post) but it was not without a lot of effort, setbacks, frustration and tears. And I'm not talking about Jackson. Potty training is hard work and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. And no, it's not like after day 3 I didn't have to do … [Read more...]
