I have long looooong hair. This requires a certain level of creativity when it comes to manageable hairstyles...

Mommy & Me Matchy Matchy

Due to the popularity of my matchy outfits post, I'm finally putting some updated outfits up!

Christmas Pictures

I just have to say, my crew is so cute. 

We took Christmas pictures this past weekend, and they turned out adorable! 

Romy was trying to eat his vest, Lincoln was trying to nurse, and Ry had his hand next to Zach's head to keep him from looking around. 

Sounds about right  #momlife

Mama & Baby Instagram Shop Wish List

I love Instagram! It has shown me so many amazing shops that I just LOVE. 

Since Christmas is coming up soon, I put together a Mama Wish List and a Baby Wish List from my favorite IG shops. Enjoy!

Mama List

Lucky Sage 

This shop makes the cutest bracelets! AND she makes matching mother and daughters set that are to die for. I cannot wait to get my hands on some of them!!

DIY Banners

When we moved this summer, I did a complete decor makeover on all of the kids' rooms (big reveal to come later). I had a blast putting different Pinterest DIYs to use and making up a few of my own as well.

Here are two very cute, and incredibly simple projects. 

Current Faves: Basic Make Up

Outfit of the Day

Went for a comfortable and casual look today - simple, soft, and chic makes for a happy mama. 

Threw my hair in a top knot, added some stripes and sparkles - Voila! 

Shirt is from Poppy and Dot. Very soft, stretchy comfortable. It's not a maternity shirt, just a regular tunic type of item, and as you can see I tied it under the belly. 

Jeans are Mama Jeans from H&M. They have some of the softest and more comfortable maternity pants I've ever worn. Not to mention, they are usually $40 or under!

Also wearing sparkly pink Toms I've had forever to spice it up!

                                      




  

Make up today :) My favorites - Benefit Push Up Liner and MAC Sweet Experience lipstick. 

Be back soon!

Date Night Bump Fashion

I am just loving the maternity selections this year. Shout out to Old Navy for making such a versatile and flattering dress this season!

I love this outfit for a date night with the hubby. It's dressy, comfortable, so cute, and can be dressed up or down.

Pregnancy Fashion

We've all been there. Feeling like a huge, lumpy mess. Ready to throw out your entire wardrobe because nothing fits right anymore, ready to down a whole carton of ice cream in tears. 

Ah, the joys of pregnancy. 

Make Up of the Day/Hair of the Day

From Yesterday!

Smashbox "Sable" in the crease (seriously does every brand have an eye shadow named Sable?)

MAC "Pink Freeze" on the lid

Smashbox "Headshot" on brow bone

MAC Playland "Sweet Experience" on the lips

I was going for a springy make up look again. I've been addicted to the Lorac Pro Palette all fall and winter, so I figured it was time to switch it up. 

My latest obsession is the Smashbox Master Class Palette 2. Has a lot of really beautiful shades, perfect for Spring and Summer. 

Sweet Experience has been my go to lip color since I got it. I LOVE this color! So perfectly pink! I can't get enough.

The necklace was from Forever 21 and I've had it for years. It's a multicolored fish that matches so many outfits. Definitely a fave of mine. 

Nails

Matte nails again! This one is OPI Pink Flamenco. With the NYC Matte Me Crazy top coat. Obsessed.

Who loves matte nails? ME! Instead of purchasing all new matte nail polish, take your fave shades matte with NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat! It's cheap and makes a gorgeous matte!
