It’s the weekly vlog! Coming at you a couple days late because this mama has been battling a growth spurt and has lost all the sleep I was bragging about getting in my last video. Sigh…such is mom life right? This video is from Thanksgiving week and in it I share some thoughts on celebrating
So many baby posts so little time. At least this one brings some style back into the picture. Emphasis on the ‘some’ 😅 If it wasn’t obvious, I’m being cheeky in the post title – my postpartum style is far from couture. In fact it’s only been recent that I’ve put somewhat of an effort
