As a new mom, I’ve quickly realized that perfection is only something I can strive for (remember this photo?). My time is limited, but I still want to make the right choices for me and my family. One example of that? Dinnertime.
Anel and I used to have dinner together every night and it was my favorite time of day.
Well we certainly had an eventful weekend! Anel and I decided that while we love having Amalia on a schedule and strict routines, we have to practice leaving the house with her more often. We're heading to Bermuda with my whole family in a few weeks and totally freaking out about how that's going to go.
This week was uneventful, which was actually really nice. I caught up on some work, finally cleaned my desk and office, and put my maternity clothes in a box in the attic for the next time around, God willing. I wasn't sad to see them go, ha!
Anel was sick for the better part of the week so I was on double mom duty which made me realize just how much he does and how grateful I am to have him be so involved.
I've done a fall staples post every year for the last three years and it's always one of my favorites. I love love love fall clothes (anyone else?!) and am drawn to the same staples year after year with a few twists.
For example I always buy myself a new plaid shirt, usually whatever pattern J.Crew puts out for their "perfect shirt" in the fall...
