Hey everyone! In one week I’m gonna do another #moms30for30. Yup! Loads of graceless selfies of me in my stay at home mom clothes. If you weren’t part of the collective eye roll that just happened, then I want you to really think about joining in this time! Like really! Many of you have mentioned you’ve been […]
In an effort to pursue more simple living as a family we’ve been purging ‘the excess’ our house. After all, I’m certain we don’t need all 43 forks, seven pairs of tweezers, two broken brooms and enough toys to fill up a bouncy house. This also means, less clothes. Rather than flat out purge my […]
Fashion has always been something that is difficult for me. Maybe because my style foundations were built with thrift store bag sales and leaning on my awkward personality rather than Silverstone looks to get me through life. In my mid-twenties I started to give myself permission to get crazy, wear nail polish, accessorize, dress how I […]
After November’s 30for30 challenge I felt like I finally had the chance to objectively look at my (non-maternity) winter wardrobe. I treated the challenge like an ‘interview’ for my clothes and really wanted to analyze each piece for their place in my lifestyle and wardrobe. This was my second 30for30 (here is what I learned […]

Welcome to week three of #moms30for30 where we wear 30 items of clothes for 30 days in 30(ish) ways. So I had a little challenge epiphany.When I did this challenge last February it was my goal to take the 30 items and remix them into outfits. Preferably ones I was okay to smatter across the […]
Trying out a capsule wardrobe with #moms30for30 So I made it through week two with only one and a half Pajama days. I know it’s not progress compared to my last week. Buuut I was also able to quickly change after being pooed on while headed out the door to a birthday. So, I call […]
I hope I’m not standing alone fighting off a Pinterest shit storm when I say I want all of the things. Sure do! I want the shoes, that kitchen, the cute sweater and robot children who follow me with blind obedience and poop out contained pellets that can be planted to grow jelly bean bushes. […]
Trying a Capsule Wardrobe, Stay at Home Mom Style! Seven days into the #moms30for30. There has been one PJ day, some mutterings of ‘why am I doing this with a newborn?’ and lots of awkward selfies in the delete folder. Then again ‘Awkward Cheese Feign Wearing a Scarf’ pretty well sums me up. Though I knew […]
I started cleaning out my closet for the #moms30for30 No YOU have a cardigan problem! Yeah, so maybe there is a librarian on Pinterest with a picture of my sweater collection on her ‘Chilly and Stylin” board. I tried on most everything in my mish-mash of career woman, mom, pre-pregnancy, pregnant, post-pregnant clothes. I’m paring […]
