Getting two kids plus myself ready in the morning is… well, let’s just say not easy. Over the years, I’ve started building somewhat of capsule wardrobes for my kids. I don’t follow the capsule wardrobe “science” exactly, because lazy. But I have a great mom hack to share with you on how to build an easy capsule wardrobe for Baby and get your little ones ready for the day more quickly!
One of the most exciting times of a parent’s life is finding out their baby’s gender. Whether you did an early ultrasound, waited until 20 weeks, or even waited until Baby was born… it’s a moment that changes your life forever. This time last year, we were preparing for our sweet baby girl’s arrival. And I’ve been reminiscing on some of the best things about having a daughter.
![Brown Sweater and Ripped Denim: We're in the midst of a never-ending winter in Kansas City [ugh, Kansas weather!], so, as a Kansas City fashion blogger, I'm sharing one of my favorite winter fashion looks to get your wardrobe through until spring hits! You can't go wrong with a classic brown v-neck sweater, and the ripped jeans give this outfit a bit of edge. Of course, no mom outfit is complete without a stylish diaper bag!](https://www.covetbytricia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Brown-Sweater-and-Ripped-Denim-2-665x435.jpg "Never-Ending Winter Fashion [Brown Sweater + Ripped Denim] 3")
So I feel a little weird posting about a sweater, jeans, and boots in April. But we have a never-ending winter going on here on Kansas City, so I’m sharing some never-ending winter fashion. I really, really, REALLY hope the weather warms up soon…. until then, enjoy this brown sweater and ripped denim look. And some hot chocolate. And some fires in the fireplace. Can you tell I’m trying really hard to make the best of this never-ending cold?
If you’ve been reading here any length of time, I’m sure you’ve figured out that I’m far from a gourmet chef. But, I have two little ones who depend on me to prepare meals everyday, so I’ve figured out a few reliable meals for kids. Here are some of my tried-and-true lunch ideas for preschooler and baby!
One of my family’s favorite summer pastimes is spending time at the pool. We’re lucky to have a pool in our neighborhood, so Colton and I hang out there most days. But, now that I have two little ones, I need them to get some water safety skills ASAP. So, we enrolled in swim lessons, and I wanted to share our experience about what to expect at baby swim lessons to help other parents. Well, and to share some cute photos of my littles in the pool, because why not?
