If you would have asked me 10 years ago if I would ever wear “mom jeans” I would have laughed and said no way!  I always remember seeing the mom jeans SNL skit and laughing thinking how ridiculous my mom looked back in the ’90s wearing high-waisted mom jeans.  Well, here I am at 36 wearing mom jeans and absolutely loving them.
I thought about mom jeans for a while before I made my purchase.  I found American Eagle to have the best selection of mom jeans and that’s where I bought the pair (HERE) I’m styling below.  At first, I wasn’t sure about this trend, but after owning these jeans for a few months I am completely in love.  They are so comfortable and fit perfectly into my SAHM wardrobe.
Here are 9 mom jeans outfit ideas.

Planning outfits for a cruises cruise can be so much fun and I can’t resist a good theme night! Each cruise is different, but these were the theme nights from my 3-night Royal Caribbean last year. 

Make sure you check your itinerary to see if your cruise has any theme nights planned!

Happy Mother’s Day!! 💕 Today I am truly embracing this day and remembering how much I always wanted to be a mom! 

I recently came across a journal entry I wrote 10 years ago on Mother’s Day—right after my second miscarriage. I wrote that I was ready to be a mom, but I was so scared and worried about our future. I didn’t know when and if it would actually happen. 

One month later, I was pregnant with my son.

And now here I am, ten years later—tired, busy, deeply grateful, and fully embracing this season I once wanted so so bad! 

To every mom today—in the waiting, in the chaos, or missing the days that flew by—I see you. We are all in this together! 💕
