Tales from the Mommy Trenches

A new post two nap times in a row! Can you tell I’m surviving on coffee alone this Daylight Savingspacalypse with a side of messy stomach bugs? If I have one materialistic weakness, it is buying clothing and accessories for all of my girls. I may spend my days with holes in my shoes and shirts and $20 jeans from Old Navy that keep sliding down precariously, but my girls are going to look runway ready, dammit! Not really, but a girl can dream.

First up!

This dress from Duchess and Lion. I’m usually not into fur (faux or otherwise) because I am still traumatized from the fur vest craze a la Hagrid (curse you, Rachel Zoe!), but this dress! I die.  And only $180! What a bargain.

These dresses from Childhoods clothing. Comfy, cozy, and with a sweet ribbon in the back? Shut up and take my money. You know, if we had a lot of it. Rose lives in dresses on the daily, so I am always on the lookout for more play dresses.

And as anyone who follows me on Insta knows, I have this thing for bonnets. Here are my two favorites for winter that I haven’t been able to get my grubby paws on. This bonnet from Briar Handmade and this one from Petite Soul. Details like the little pom pom on the top and the little elfin point get me every time.

I have always wanted to get the girls a dress from here, ever since Ruth was a tiny toddler. Everything from Tiny Cottons is exquisite. It was hard to pick just one dress to link up.

Bobo Choses is my personal Holy Grail of childhood fashion, and I would like four pairs of these tights. Please and thank you.

And how sweet would the girls look in these bows? You know, if their curly tops would allow bow-age.

And last but not least, this harem pant from Willaby Clothier (a local company!) Soft and gauzy, perfect for boys or girls, and looks just precious and breezy on little froggy newborn legs.

Mic drop.
