TIS THE SEASON! PAJAMA SEASON.

We have been highlighting gift ideas that we will be gifting / would love to give this year. Like the things we actually have and love. LAKE PAJAMAS are DEFINITELY on that list. We fell in love with LAKE’s Pima Cotton pajamas earlier this year and haven’t looked back. They are BEYOND soft.

I wore them throughout my pregnancy, they have nursing friendly options now, they carried us through the summer and now we are loving their holiday collection! They have pajamas for the whole family. Phoenix and Olive have little matching sets and we are gonna grab a couple of pairs for our husbands this year.

HAPPY GIFTING!

Olive Rebecca’s Birth Story

Olive Rebecca Piersol was born on July 29, 2022 and here is her birth story.

I am sitting here at my desk, with Olive asleep in the carrier and it is surprising and not surprising at the same time that it took me 3 months to get this written out. Life is so completely and utterly different and beautiful and hard all at the same time, everyday. BUT ANYWAYS LETS GET TO THE STORY!

On my due date, July 27th, we were scheduled to go in at 4 pm to check in for my induction.  Even though baby Olive wasn’t showing any signs of making her appearance, I was getting anxious and because some doctors recommend inducing IVF babies, I figured we should go ahead and get the ball rolling. We called at 3:30 to make sure they would be ready for us at 4 and they said, no, call back at 8. BOY, did those 4 and a half hours CRAWL by.  (Obviously I made a tiktok) When we called at 8, they said to go ahead and come in. So we got all packed up and headed in. EEK!

Holiday Style: The Bodysuit Trend

IT’S TIME TO THINK ABOUT HOLIDAY ‘FITS AND BODYSUITS ARE TRENDING IN A BIG WAY!


Across all of my favorite retailers I am seeing bodysuits of all kinds! Comfy ones, sparkly ones, long sleeves, halter etc etc. I had to see what all the fuss was about so I ordered this Free People x Revolve Turnt Bodysuit. I gotta say I was very pleasantly surprised. Honestly it could have gone either way, but….. Bodysuits are flattering. 

Shocked me, honestly!
