February is a month all about love! Love for your spouse or significant other, love for your family, love for your children. But what about love for yourself? As moms, I think we often forget the importance of self-love and taking care of one’s self. I practice self-love just by taking care of myself both mentally and physically. Today I want to share how I practice self-love with my daily mom beauty routine.

Closet clean out

I recently did a big closet clean out. I always feel like I am left with an overload of clothes at the end of every year. Even though I do my best to keep up with my closet seasonally, I still felt like my closet needed a major refresh. That’s why I spent most of the month of January going through all my clothes. Today I want to share what I learned in the process.

3 petite jeans

I am often asked by my followers on Instagram where I buy my jeans. The answer is that I buy my jeans everywhere. No store is off-limits for me.

That’s why today I want to share with you some of the stores where I have found the best petite jeans for the best price.

Does anyone else still have a gingham button-down shirt still hanging in their closet? 👕 I still love this style! The easiest way to update this look is to switch out your jeans for a different silhouette.

What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! What I wore this week as a 40-year old mom of 2! 

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! 💕
