weekend uniform

October 29, 2015

With each new season, we typically land on some kind of “uniform”. With full time jobs, that uniform is what you will find us in 90% of the time on the weekend. A weekend uniform is meant to be comfortable, but we still like to look put together. For Fall, that weekend uniform consists of an oversized sweater, skinny jeans, cute flats and a big tote bag.

To be honest, I have found it harder than I thought to find a good go-to maternity uniform. In my 28-week bumpdate, I talked about some recent maternity finds. These jeans are one of them. I quickly found out that I can’t do full panel maternity pants, so the search for side panel elastic started. These jeans from A Pea in the Pod have been a great addition. The dark denim wash makes them dressy enough for casual Fridays at work, and also great to run around in during the weekend. On another maternity style note, I have officially reached the point where most of my non-maternity tops are too short, so I am on the hunt for some more cute maternity top options. In the mean time, I am sticking mostly to longer shirts and dresses. I would love to hear what maternity top styles you found worked best!

As a general rule we don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but following all the eating & drinking that comes along with the holidays, heading to the gym is a given. It’s actually an absolute necessity! Sometimes it’s hard to make ourselves get out the door to workout, but having some new cute workout clothes helps motivate us. A new colorful sports bra, comfy yoga pants, or a cute Lululemon jacket inspire us to get out and get going!

One of our favorite places to workout is at Flywheel Sports. It’s fast, fun & can be tailored for any level of fitness.

Happy Christmas Eve! This year, we are celebrating Christmas at home with the whole family. Now that we are married, every Christmas is a little different than before. We still celebrate our old traditions, while also starting new traditions. Some of those being:

Christmas Eve Service- Time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and take in the beauty of the Season. We especially love the Candlelight Service! If you are looking for a church to visit our church has Christmas Eve Services at 11:00, 1:00 or 3:00 (more details here)

Mi Cocina- After Church, we head to the Galleria. Yes, we are crazy, but love to see the hustle and bustle of last minute shoppers. A round of Mambo Taxis and a snack of Mico’s nachos while sitting next to the gigantic Galleria Christmas tree is good for the soul

We always read Twas the Night Before Christmas before we head to bed – that one has been a tradition forever

Presents- We carry on this tradition from when we were kids: we are only allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve

Games- We always love playing Apples to Apples, and this year we’re planning to play a Gin Rummy game that Stia learned from Caleb’s family at Thanksgiving

What are some of your Christmas traditions?

Cheers,
