Happy Monday and happy June! We had a fantastic but very packed weekend and I realized last night how quickly summer with a toddler is about to fly by. We hosted our first BBQ of the season, went to the zoo with friends, and played at our favorite playground. Last night the whole family crashed hard but with hearts full of love and excitement and bellies full of hot dogs and ice cream.
Since I became a mother two years ago, I have been baffled the amount of judgment that I see other moms pass on me and each other on a regular basis. From being told that I am a bad mom because I let Amalia hang out with our Pit mix, Boots, to taking heat for not breastfeeding long enough, it feels never-ending and overwhelming.
I've never really been one for capsule wardrobes, but as I navigate the world of sustainable fashion, it is making more and more sense to me. Why not focus on buying quality, classic products that will last summer after summer instead of trendier pieces that might end up in the donation pile when fall rolls around?
Summer is here and with that comes shorter shorts, bathing suits, and bare arms. I love summer clothes (my summer capsule collection is coming tomorrow!) and not having to bundle up, but I have a history of body dysmorphia including an eating disorder in high school. Historically I've never loved my body, but something shifted after I had a baby.
