Ultra Casual Mom Uniform + Things That Have Been Giving Me Life Lately

April 27, 2018

FacebookTwitterPinterestMixEmail

So we’re over halfway through our stay in San Jose. The time seemed to be going so slow initially and then now it seems to be flying by. I think that’s partly because I’ve finally fallen into a routine with Mason. I have an outlet to give myself “me time” and work time. The Bay Club has seriously been giving me life lately. It has allowed me to get my workouts in without having to work them in around Justin’s schedule and it has given Mason some independence. He’s grown so much it seems from being in daycare there even if it’s just for a couple hours a day, 2-3 days a week. As a SAHM/WAHM a few hours off is such a game changer. And, in my opinion, is making me a much better mom.

What else is giving me life these days, well for one my coconut milk lattes! While I’m making coffee at home, I still can’t help treating myself to a latte when I’m out running errands which are typically at Target or Safeway…and in case you’ve been living under a rock, both have Starbucks inside! Amazon Prime, but when does it not! It has been saving me extra trips to the store when I’ve forgotten something or Mason has just run out/about to run out of his favorite snacks. Food delivery in general, because with a toddler sometimes I just don’t feel like running out to go shopping.

Probably the most important thing that gives me life is Mason! His sweet kisses are the absolute best and he’s been giving them out pretty generously lately. I don’t know what I would do without his kisses and hugs. Oh and his smile and laugh definitely gives me life daily. This little stud has the sunniest disposition. Yes he can get pouty and does know how to throw a good tantrum or even better decide 3am is a good time to wake up and not let mama leave his room…or else more tears! So yeah, he has his ups and downs like anyone does but I just love him so much!!

So yeah, I’m sure there’s more things that give me life (like the IG filter that somehow masks my puffy eyes) but those above are currently the biggest ones.

What has been giving you life lately?!

Top: A New Day (available in black and pink too). Sweats: Splendid (black no longer available but all sizes in olive green are in stock on sale + an additional 30% off right now!). Sandals: Target, old (love these new ones from Steve Madden which were the original/Target is the dupe). Sunglasses: Circus by Sam Edelman (I found mine in store at Nordstrom – not showing up online but I did find them here and on sale!). Bag: Chanel (you can snag yourself an authentic used bag here to save ya some $$). Earrings: Nickel and Suede c/o.

Shop the look:

As always, thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! I hope you enjoyed the post.

My gift to myself. My latest @chanelofficial bag a My gift to myself. My latest @chanelofficial bag and a freshly organized living room with new faux floral stems that fit in my amber glass vases perfectly! I purchased this beauty @therealreal and couldn't be happier with it. It's the perfect elevated everyday bag. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw the color. I'd been eyeing the Gabrielle Bag for a while and was glad I waited to pull the trigger till now. It was definitely worth the wait to score this color. Chanel has one of the best resale values so I know I can't go wrong splurging on this baby! โฃ
โฃ
I also just sent out a large box of goods to The RealReal to consign as I am trying hard to pair down my closet and get everything organized before baby arrives in June. I know I have a long way to go but making a little progress daily is so much easier and not at all overwhelming.
16 weeks today and finally getting a first trimest 16 weeks today and finally getting a first trimester blog post out! I'm talking about the differences between first and second pregnancies. Some of the common changes most women will experience the second time around as well as some personal differences I've experienced thus far. I'm also sharing some bump pics that show just how different my baby bump can look depending on angle as well as time of day. I tell you, it's constantly changing in size! So if you're at all curious, click on over to the blog (link in bio) to give it a read! And if you're also pregnant, I'd love to know which of the differences you've experienced this pregnancy!
My favorite photo from the weekend. Truly blessed My favorite photo from the weekend. Truly blessed to live by the beach. Mason loves watching the waves with us and going down to the beach to build sand castles. When it's not so cold it's almost impossible to get him out of the ocean and off the beach!

Mason is back in preschool so this mama has got to get back into a routine. I will say that I did get a new blog post up on Monday talking about my intentions for the New Year. Somewhat of a New Years Resolution. โฃ
