Life Lately: Volume 49

We made it to Friday which feels like a true feat this week. I am sitting here trying to even type coherent sentences and nothing is happening. I don’t know about you but I’m ready for a nice, quiet, relaxing weekend.

Psych!

We’ll be chasing around our little guys but are excited to not make too many plans after a busy family vacation.

HIGH & LOW

High: On Wednesday night, Lukey stood up by himself for the first time! He’s been doing a lot of walking with his little push walker but that was the first time he went from sitting to standing on his own. Amalia, Anel, and I all screamed and clapped as if he had just won an Oscar. He looked so proud of himself with a big grin on his face. I wish I could just bottle up moments like that and keep them forever. Pure joy!

Low: It goes without saying that our travel day(s) from hell was the low this week.

AROUND THE WEB

Nobody wants more crappy videos on Instagram. Too bad.

My Easter dress: I finally landed on this pretty blue maxi dress with cutouts.

J.Crew Home x Liberty of London. This collab is everything. They sent me some gorgeous napkins and placemats but I want to do Amalia’s bed in their bedding! Every single piece in the collection is stunning, truly.

Parenthood is a leadership asset. I loved this article from Hitha’s #5smartreads this week.
