LÉON WEARS

Casual afternoons call for bicycle shorts 😉 Lucas has been wearing this black pair (from the Children’s Place) for over a year and they are so comfy and worn in at this point that it’s kind of like reaching for one of my old favorite tee’s from college. They’re that good! His Bobo Choses top is from Line + Liv. It’s one of my go-to shops and they are currently having a crazy summer sale. Hip hip for summer savings! 

MARCH MADNESS & LOUIS B. | A GIVEAWAY

I’ve teamed up with the fab Louis B. for a March Madness giveaway! If you haven’t checked out this awesome shop now is the time. From classic staples to cult favorites (hello bobo! insert heart eye emoji here ;), Louis B. has it all. The shop is run by Simone – beautiful, business savvy, and mama of two. Just in time for your kiddos Spring wardrobe we are giving away a $50 gift card to purchase whatever your heart desires. These are just a few of my favorite picks from her shop:

Ok..so Miffy doesn’t count as clothing but ahhh..too good!

BOBO CHOSES | MANIFESTO SS14

Bobo Choses, how I love you. I have been a huge fan of BC since Lucas was infant. Each season is better than the last and their Spring/Summer collection is off the charts. A vintage wardrobe collection after this mamas heart. Both whimsical and eclectic, I’m in love with every piece. You can find an amazing selection of the collection at one of my very favorite shops, Line + Liv.

FALL IS HERE

I check the weather every night before heading to bed. It gives me a sense of the day to come and let’s me plan mama and Lucas adventures accordingly. The forecast was rain. Lots of it. When we woke up this morning Lucas drank his milk, had a bowl of strawberries, and we ran out the door. I wanted to make sure we spent a few hours outside just in case the weather man was right (would you believe it..he’s often wrong!) and we would be trapped inside all afternoon. We made our way to two different parks and leisurely walked around the hood, making sure to step on all of the golden leaves sprinkled along the pavement. We stayed out until I felt a rainy mist and we scurried home for nap time. I left the windows open and I don’t know if it was the crisp breeze, but my boy snoozed for 3 hours. Mama win! When my prince arose we played at a neighbors house until it was time to cook dinner – chicken parmesan and fresh corn.
Oh, FALL IS HERE you guys! I purchased his adorable scarf at a mega sale last season at H&M for a buck and I think it just adorable. Hip hip for sweater weather, changing leaves, and hearty meals for dinner.

GLORIOUS MAY

Oh hello May! We have been anxiously waiting for you! 
 
On the first day of this highly anticipated month, Lucas and I ventured off to Central Park for a play date with some of our favorite ladies. I know this is a tad late but our 1st day of May was so perfect I had to share. The weather was lovely – a crisp 70 degrees – and the air smelled like tulips (thanks Park Ave!) and hot dogs. NYC perfection.

Latonya and Lindsey have two of the cutest little gals and Lucas is smitten with them! He’s at such a fun age and I love watching him interact and explore with other children. We spent the morning laying out in the grass and watching our kiddos run around and dig for hidden treasures in the dirt.

Lucas passed out cold on the walk home. He was covered head to toe in filth – literally from his mullet to his teensy fingernails. All signs of a good day with the little mister. May – we are so happy to be reunited!
