As I mentioned yesterday, I'm all about pieces that look summery but can transition easily to fall right now. This gingham bow skirt, for example, will be great through the holidays (with a red sweater tucked in), but is also cute for right now worn with a white tank top and sandals. It's only $88 and my favorite thing on this month's wish list by far!
Every year around this time, all of the catalogs, blogs, and store windows start featuring fall clothes. It's always a little depressing and a little exciting. I love fall, but the thought of "winter is coming" kills me! Why I live in New England is a mystery.
Instead of jumping right into plaids and boots, I like to slowly transition by bringing out my jeans and wearing long sleeves in summery colors, even if just for a few more weeks.
Throughout our labor and post-partum experience, we've been lucky to enlist the help of two magical women who helped me in ways that I never knew were possible. I honestly don't know how I would have survived labor or the first two nights at home without them. These women were both doulas, serving different roles but with one unified goal: to make my life calmer and easier so that I could be a calmer and happier mama to Amalia.
Today I have a fun and perhaps shocking announcement to make! But let me back up a little bit first...
One of the greatest roles I play in my life is big sister. I'm three years older than my sister Lauren, and we couldn't be closer. We talk multiple times a day on either the phone, GChat, Facetime, or all three.
Today, I'm excited to be featuring three incredible power bowl recipes created by Jamie, the founder of Maikana Foods. When we came home from the hospital, Jamie dropped off a post-partum care package of salads, bowls, soups, and gluten free muffins that saved us in those first few days.
Every single thing we ate was incredible, fresh, and healthy, so I asked her if she would share some of her recipes with you guys.
