Blakely’s First Birthday Shoot with Kathleen Peachey Photography

Hey guys! I’m so excited to finally be sharing with you our photos from Blakely’s first birthday! I had been planning this shoot for a while and knew I wanted a “beachy” look. I know I’ve said it before, but Kathleen is sooo gifted. She is the sweetest and most calm person I’ve ever met. I swear when I’m around her all my worries just fly away. It’s like magic. Ha. But seriously, I have a ton of friends who have used her for their family shoots and fall in love right away. I

4th of July Style – Red, White + Blue

It’s almost 4th of July! Yay! We love fireworks, Ryder especially. Last year he was SO cute watching them and saying, “fireworks! Fireworks!!!” over and over again. Cutest thing ever. Tim and I were cracking up. He asked about fireworks every night for months. I hope he gets as excited again this year. He’s the cutest!! Anyway, I love getting the family all dressed up in their Red, white and blue! MERICA! I thought I would link some of the items I’m currently digging that wou

Casual Black Dress + Must-Have Military Vest for Date Night

Casual outfit for a casual date night with my hubs! Sometimes we barely have the energy for date nights, but just getting a quick dinner together is so nice! I crave time alone with Tooth and love any amount of time we get together. We decided to squeeze in a sushi date night last week and… Heaven! I love early dinners in the summer time. Patios, drinks, sunshine and the cool evening breeze. The best. This outfit is so comfortable and easy. I actually wore this dress when I w

Hey guys! This jumpsuit is soo comfortable and light. Perfect for summer! I love having a jean jacket to layer on cooler nights. Anyone else feel like it’s officially summer when you start craving a frap?? You guys have fun summer plans/ideas you want to share with me so I can copy! 😀 Needing some ideas for fun summer memories with young kids. Tooth and I always struggle with whether or not it’s worth it to go on adventures with little ones. Any ideas and recommendations are

Day at the Park with R+B

Going to the park these days is so much fun. It’s so nice to get some fresh air and let the kids explore. Ryder loves being outside and having the freedom to run, play and be loud! It takes a lot of work to get to the park with two babies, but it’s so worth it! I love having books, snacks, toys and balls to play with when we’re at the park for the afternoon. The weather was perfect and I wasn’t worried about either one getting too cold or too hot. Perfect time of the year! I

Layers of Interest

Hey Mamas! I love making outfits interesting by adding layers. There are so many pieces in this outfit that add interest and make it look “layered”. 1. This bright and fun floral top from Denver Street Boutique is a new favorite of mine! It’s so fun and girly. And of course, I’m a sucker for all blues!! 2. Distressed denim from Shop Blume. These boyfriend fit jeans are so comfortable. And the distressed element gives it another layer and added interest. 3. This necklace from

Comfy + Casual

I am getting so excited for spring weather! The idea of going to the park and playing outside with the kids makes me so happy. We went to the park today and Ryder had a blast running around in the fresh air. This outfit I’m in is perfect for a casual day playing with kids. Leggings are a must have for moms! I love being dressed in really comfortable and casual outfits when I know I’m going to be out and about with the kids all day long. I need stretchy, forgiving clothes so I

Family Holiday Photos 2015

So, I know the holidays have come and gone. I still feel like I’m playing catch up with my life. But I wanted to share these amazing photos from Newell Jones and Jones Photography (you can visit their site here). When you’re taking family pictures with kids, you need a photographer that loves kids and is patient. Anna is just that! I told her before the shoot that I didn’t have high expectations for Ryder to cooperate. LOL! I explained that if we get him to just LOOK at the c

Cowl neck + POPS of color

Hey guys! I love this outfit so much! The pop of turquoise, gold, maroon… heaven. So much of what I’m wearing is from local boutiques. I told you I love these comfy jeans! Can’t get enough of them. Seriously everything about this outfit is easy and comfortable but you can always trade the heels for flats and switch out the clutch for a diaper bag if you’re headed out with the kiddos. This cowl neck sweater is so comfortable and thin. I tend to be HOT when I’m nursing and have

Shop Denver

This is one of the comfiest outfits! I recently went by Fabrik (I can’t allow myself to go there very often because I want everything!) and got this shirt. You guys have to feel it. It’s amazingly soft! It’s so comfortable and long enough to pair with leggings. This boutique is awesome. It isn’t crammed like a lot of boutiques can be. What’s so amazing to me is that they remember me! Not only me, but my kids!! I walk in, they remember Ryder’s name and give him stickers which

Cowl Neck + Leopard

Hey guys! I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this pom pom beanie I was wearing in a picture I posted. I love this beanie and actually went back and got it in another color! LOL Who doesn’t love a good beanie this time of year? Especially in CO. I also love this comfy shirt and the cowl neck is awesome. I think I’ve mentioned before that I love this because it feels a bit like wearing a scarf but without it being heavy and overwhelming. Sometimes scarves are just too much! L

Blakely Gray – 5 Months Old

Our little Blakely girl is FIVE months old. She is SO much fun! December was a big month for her. She rolled onto her tummy on December 8th during her nap in crib. I saw her on monitor and was in shock! And it always kinda scares me when they start rolling over in their crib because their necks aren’t very strong yet. Since then she’s rolling all over the place! She is better at rolling over her left shoulder and still struggles to get to her back from tummy. But she’s gettin

Barre Forte

If you follow me on social media, you know I’ve been taking Barre classes recently. It’s felt so great to be back at the barre! Being a dancer all my life, I love anything that makes you feel (and look!) like a dancer again. I have been taking classes at Barre Forte in Highlands Ranch. They have three locations in Colorado. If you love barre classes, or have ever been interested in trying a barre class, GO! They are amazing and full of energy. I swear after two classes I felt

Cozy Sweaters and Distressed Denim

I am loving these jeans! I wear these all the time and they are so comfortable and forgiving. They also aren’t stretching out all gross after days of days of wearing them between washes. Never giving me the grandma knees or super saggy butt. Yuck. I hate when pants/leggings do that. I guess I’ve got a thing for fringe lately because I’m loving these fringe booties. I love the height of them. Sometimes booties can confuse me when they aren’t the right height. Do I tuck the jea

White after Labor Day

I love white pants. The whole “no white after labor day” saying is bananas. Wear whatever color you want, whenever! I actually love white jeans in the winter months. Pairing it with cozy sweaters and boots. So cute. This fringe sweater is so comfortable! You know I love easy layers that make outfits more interesting and this is just that. The cut of this is so cute and did I mention the fringe?! Love. It’s also not a bulky sweater. Sometimes I struggle finding sweaters. I lov

Fun Layers for Fall

I love scarfs and this mint color is so much fun. I am also loving these torn up boyfriend jeans. They are so comfortable! I love dressing these looser jeans up or down. I love mixing “dress up” clothes with more casual things. This top from Denver Street Boutique is so cute. I love the zipper detail on the front. (Added bonus: Makes nursing much easier!) And this olive color is one of my favs for fall and winter. These fringe booties are my fav! I love them so much and I’m s

Gotta bust out these short dresses while we still can! This cooler weather feels so good and I love pairing shorter dresses with vests for the fall. This dress is very comfortable and so cute! I’ve been loving mixing patterns recently and love this fur vest with the patterned dress. These heels are new and so fun. Just a little twist on the classic nude heel. I love nude shoes! Hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween yesterday! I can’t wait to go through all our pictures an

Last weekend we made it over to the pumpkin patch. I love weekend activities like this with the family! The pumpkin patch at Chatfield Botanic Gardens is so cute! I love seeing all the different food trucks and getting to experience all these little holiday adventures again as a Mommy. Ryder has a blast running around the pumpkin patch screaming “Mommy! Pumpkin!” a million times. LOL I do realize we have NO pumpkins in these pictures – ha! It was still so sunny and hot when w
