where style meets strength
Like most of you, I'm celebrating the birth of the newest little prince; Master Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor (could there be a better name?!) There's something about a new baby that not only brings joy and excitement, but also warms the heart as we watch the beginning of a family unfold. While I'm sure some [...]
One of the most anxiety-ridden shopping excursions for women, might just be finding the dreaded bathing suit. Did your heart rate just speed up? TULUM Beach, Mexico Finding a piece of material that will not only hug you in all the right places while simultaneously and seemingly eliminating all the WRONG places, the perfect color, [...]
With what price we pay for the glory of motherhood.Isadora Duncan The day has come and gone and my little firecrackers have stepped over the line of babyhood into all things toddlerhood. They have placed their baby-ness behind them and forged ahead, leaving me in a puddle of my own tears. Happy tears. Tears of [...]
It's been awhile. I haven't forgotten. Ive thought about blogging almost every single day. Of writing down my thoughts or the important things I've done. The milestones my three year old has reached. The fact that I've had twins. TWINS. My jaw is permanently on the floor over that one. The reality is my pregnancy [...]

When I'd rather "write a letter," rant through the printed word or put my thoughts out there for three people to see and probably not change anything, you know I'm [...]
As I sit here in the warm Hawaiian sun, it's hard to think of life anywhere else.

Yet, when you live in a bathing suit, how do you change [...]

This past week a friend messaged me with a question that has plagued us all... "How does one get out of a fashion rut? I am without a doubt a jeans and t-shirt girl, with little ones it is easy to wear and easy to wash. But as of late i just feel boring and [...]
In light of the challenge I posted this week (See here, if you haven't read it), I decided to challenge myself by using this weekend's Mother's Day to let my Mom know how I truly feel about her. I often tell her that I love her at the end of a phone conversation but it's [...]
I rarely get my hair done. I always feel slightly bad when I see my stylist, her fabulous handi-work undone in the 6 months since she last saw me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the TLC, but being a Mom, it's hard to find 2 free hours to do the laundry let alone get [...]
