Mama + Mini

I’m ready to backflip into a tall margarita & it’s only Wednesday.
It’s been one of those weeks. Harper got a taste of “life beyond the gates” this past weekend when we had the brilliant idea to let her run amok around the house instead of the usual baby-gated-play-areas. She’s officially called bullshit now when I try to corral her into my workspace, so we have decided that this weekend all gates are coming down & we will just be forced to finish baby proofing the house so she will have free reign. Worst idea ever? Maybe.

Back to margaritas, let’s talk about our love for lime. I have always been a huge fan of the lime & lavender color combo, especially in the Spring! After discovering Hunter’s new line of jelly-inspired flats & the adorable new Bloch flats for girls, I’ve been loving these colors together even more!

One. Two. Three. Four.
Five. Six. Seven. Eight.

And I didn’t forget your little men, while this color combo might be a bit harder to pull off, these lime shorts paired with a simple pocket-tee onesie (pockets on babies?!) would be the perfect Mama + Mr. matching outfit!
Hurry up, warm weather!

We are in the middle of getting our back patio screened in to make it a little more kid friendly. Turns out our yard is perfect for hammocks & slip-n-slides, but is totally not a place for kids to play. We are really going to have to use our creativity to make our yard child-appropriate. We are going a little stir-crazy in the house lately & can only handle so many wagon rides each day.

Yesterday, I was that mom walking my kid in her wagon at 6:30 pm around the neighborhood, with a beer while Harper was still in her pajamas with mac-n-cheese in her our hair.
All aboard the hot mess express!

“Wait just one minute mama, you really expect me to play out here?”

“If that’s the case, I’m envisioning a sandbox over here, possibly a water table over there and…”

“…Oooh, dirt!”

Can’t you just see her little personality written all over these photos?! She just kills me with her cuteness.

PS. If you haven’t already entered the awesome “Decorate Your Babies!” giveaway on my Instagram @jlgarvin, there is a chance to win a set of headbands from a handful of our favorite shops for both you & a friend! Be sure to follow & comment before Friday morning! 🙂

Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I di Easter 2023 🐰 Would like to point out that I didn’t find them any cute matching pajamas this year but they took it upon themselves to find some in their closets & dressed accordingly. They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to Our kitchen shelves are complete!! I was going to make you a reel but the thought of climbing up there to take this all down again was just too daunting. So you get a static post of the ultimate #shelfie 🤍 Swipe for before & afters, tap for sources!
Did your grandma ever make you a jello poke cake?! Did your grandma ever make you a jello poke cake?! They’re so fluffy and refreshing!! And always our girls birthday cake request! It’s too easy: make a white cake (from a box), poke holes in it with a toothpick, make jello according to directions in a saucepan and pour over top, and then put in the fridge for 3-5 hours to cool and set! Frost with whipped cream and serve chilled!!
