My favorite trend for this spring and summer is ruffles. I'm so obsessed with the look whether it's on an off-shoulder shirt, a one-shouldered dress, or a swimsuit. Come August you better believe I'll be rocking this look non-stop. Sorry in advance... slash actually I'm not.
I've loved seeing all of the fashion bloggers styling it lately, though, and I'm feeling inspired by their looks!
A few days ago I posted an Instagram story about the gluten free cookies I was baking and have been blowing up with questions about the recipe ever since! I've been perfecting my GF cookies over the last year, and I have finally found a recipe that I happen to think is delicious AF. It's a combination of recipes I've read online mixed with just testing things out over time.
Man... outfit posts are becoming harder and harder to get up these days, you guys! Every time I do a photo shoot, I feel like clothes don't sit right on my body, or I just look ridiculous traipsing around in outfits. Also, it's really hard to walk in heels!
I know that this look is super simple, but great-fitting jeans and a (non-maternity) tunic just work.
There are a ton of books about pregnancy and raising babies out there. It can be overwhelming and ends up stressing a lot of new moms out more than it helps. My strategy was to pick five that resonated with my values and beliefs and stick to those and those alone. I'm sure I'll read many more parenting books as we move through different stages of raising our daughter, but at this point in time, I've found five amazing books that have helped me organize my thoughts and get me in the right mindset for motherhood.
Happy Monday! It's supposed to be a beautiful week here in New England, even getting up to the mid 80s on Wednesday. We finally finished setting up our patio just in time for dinners al fresco all week long.
While the set up we had last summer was adorable, we quickly realized that it wasn't functional in the way that we needed it to be.
