ruffle sleeve sweater

November 16, 2017

Sweaters with ruffles are everywhere! And we are loving it. A couple of weeks ago we had our first taste of fall and I couldn’t get into this ruffle sleeve sweater fast enough. The family was meeting up for drinks to kick off Justin’s birthday week and this casual look was the perfect thing to wear. It has already been a busy fall, so we are always on the lookout for an opportunity to get together and celebrate! Green isn’t usually my go-to color, but I love the soft olive green of this sweater. Wearing it with mule loafers and a black handbag gives a casual, but put together feel. With cold weather that’s bound to come through Dallas sometime this fall, you’ll definitely see me wearing this ruffle sleeve sweater on repeat with my over the knee boots!

ten nursing friendly tops

September 28, 2017

It’s so hard to believe that Henry will be three weeks old tomorrow! He has been the most easygoing baby, but has been giving us very little sleep the past week. We finally got a 4 hour stretch of sleep on Tuesday night, a welcome change from Henry being awake from midnight to 4 am! That tends to be the time he cluster feeds – that and from 6-8 pm. Witching hour anyone?

Nursing Henry has been a much smoother journey than with William. He didn’t have a tongue tie, so other than the usual pain at the beginning, it has just been so trouble-free! I nurse Henry on demand, just like William, so I try to always wear something nursing friendly. It seems to be easier to find/wear nursing friendly clothes in the summer, so I’ve rounded up ten nursing friendly tops for the fall!

Ten Nursing Friendly Tops to Wear this Fall

This eyelet top is adorable, a good price and so effortless to nurse in. In fact, I wore it for one our first outings and, even though it was hot, I was so happy that I did. It was just so easy to be able to button down my shirt at lunch when Henry got hungry.
This plaid ruffle top is perfect for fall and perfect for nursing your baby anywhere – I just ordered it!
An off the shoulder sweater can easily be pulled down – and looks so chic!
You can’t go wrong with a classic white shirt – so many ways to wear it!
The prettiest pink off the shoulder top.
Classic stripes and this top is perfect for layering.
This statement sleeve sweater is adorable and love the deep v and bows on the sleeves.
The perfect nursing friendly top to wear this fall – love the cardigan look and bows at the shoulders!
This black top has all the romantic vibes.
And I love the detailing on this blue and white button down shirt.

gingham top and life with two babies

September 21, 2017

Life at home has been just as crazy as I could have imagined, but also so much sweeter than I could have ever imagined. Henry is an absolute doll – he cries when he’s hungry and when he has a dirty diaper. But other than that, he’s sleeping or awake and looking around him. William was colicky, so this is a huge change for us! William has handled the adjustment better than I could have anticipated. He says “Henry” in the cutest way, loves pointing out that they both have eyes, noses, toes, etc. And he smothers him with kisses all day long. He has done really well sharing attention (he still gets plenty of it), but he does get a little sensitive when it’s just the three of us. We spend our mornings at home, get out of the house before lunch and then head back home for nap time. We usually take a family walk in the evenings and it feels so good getting out and about!

I am so thankful for a husband who is willing to help me (and is still doing middle of the night diaper changes) and a mom who, thank God, only lives a few miles away and has put our family of four at her top priority. We are adjusting and it’s hard to remember what life was like before our sweet Henry was born two weeks ago!

We are shooting Henry’s newborn photos this morning and I can’t wait to share the story of his arrival soon!
