With the year we have had– we decided to go all out. This year, Charlotte turned three and Henry turned one. With birthday so close together (within the same week), we decided to throw a huge joint birthday and with all of our attendees being vaccinated, it was so nice to feel a sense of normalcy in gathering again. There literally is nothing better than the sense of having friends and family around.

We were gifted beautiful decor from Katt at Celebrate We Will and I just had to share her small business with you! Katt is a mama in Tennessee and we met on Instagram. She has the most beautiful decoration sets and has shared a discount code with us which is “PEDALINGPA10” for 10% off your order! I will link her Instagram here. She shares “Party Tip Tuesday” on IGTV each Tuesday and I love her ideas!

The two party themes we chose were “Garden Party” and “Safari Season” which were absolutely perfect for our little ones!

I may have gone slightly overboard on flowers for this party but when you haven’t done anything in a year– you have to go all out! How beautiful is this garden party set?

I love the colors in this set and how each pattern is unique. You can choose to either mix and match the napkin sets or pair the matching napkin with the plate.

I used a vase of flowers and these multicolored fans from Katt to create centerpieces for Charlotte’s tables. You could also hang the fans in an arrangement to create a backdrop! I think this party set would also be beautiful for a bridal shower or baby shower!

For Henry’s theme, I really wanted to do “Wild One” which is why the Safari theme turned out to be perfect!

These little zebra napkins are the absolute cutest!

For Henry’s centerpieces, I used this faux fern that I will use in his room for decor and also this fun lantern that I will keep on our patio!

I’m not sure which babe had more fun but it sure was special to see their smiles!

Katt has some fun Summer collections up on her site and I am loving this option for the Fourth of July!

How to create a treat board for Easter:

– buy treats in a mix of pastel colors and also milk and white chocolate to break up the color.
– begin by placing your larger treats in scattered areas of the board, focus on the corners and the middle
– fill in the gaps with colorful items like peeps, jelly beans and m&m’s.
– use different items for texture like easter grass and place cadbury eggs on top like a “nest”.

Enjoy!!

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner! With everything opening up soon, I am so excited to grab some new pieces for my closet and I am loving these options from The Mason Jar Boutique!

Even more exciting — right now you can save 10% off your entire purchase from their site with the code “PEDALINGPA10”!

Linking a few of my favorites below!

First up is this dramatic sleeve option with an eyelit print! I love this because it’s the perfect length and so easy to throw on for some errands or wear for a date night out!

Next up is this cute embroidered blush pink option. I paired it with these heels which come in so many different color options have been a staple for every outfit for me lately.

How pretty is this lace dress? I love the eyelash details on the hem and sleeves!

I’m also personally a HUGE fan of Rompers. I think as a mom they are a game changer. For one, you don’t have to match anything which is always a win. They are always comfortable and easy for you to be on the go with your kids!

I love this black romper because it’s comfortable, cute and nursing friendly!

Last is this ruffled dress and I’m obsessed with the details – I love a white dress and I love ruffles so this was a win for me. Length is also super important to me and I love the length of this one!

I paired it with these heels I’m currently obsessed with! So comfortable!

Happy Shopping!

I know so many of us are ready for the warm weather and I am lucky to live somewhere where it is warm most of the time. Honestly, Spring Style just puts me in a good mood!

Sharing some of my favorite looks recently!

This dress is definitely my number one favorite right now as it’s combining a few of my favorite things: neutral colors, ruffles, smocked details and best of all – a great deal at under $30! Sharing the look here.

I think this dress would look so cute with a basket purse like this one for under $25!

Next up is this wrap dress. Honestly I have shared before, but I love any wrap dress. I just think they are so flattering on any body shape, always drawing attention to your natural waist!

Linking details for this dress and accessories here.

Another closet staple necessity is definitely a black T-shirt dress. I LOVE this one and have it in the long-sleeved version as well. You can easily dress this up or down, add a denim jacket or pair with heels or canvas sneakers depending on what you’re doing. I love the fit of this one!

Stay tuned for more looks!

Happy Shopping!

What an interesting title. No matter what role you fill, you’re always a mom. Full time, no question about it! Even when you’re at a 9-5 you spend every minute thinking of those tiny humans in the back of your mind. But we have coined the term SAHM (Stay at Home Mom) as a lifestyle, and I entered into that lifestyle about a year ago.

One year ago, when sh*t hit the fan, to put it bluntly- I traded in my 6 figure career to become a Stay at Home Mom. What a life changer!

Before I entered the role, I will openly admit I was “one of those”. One of the people who thought the grass is always greener on the other side and said how easy Stay at Home Moms have it. Now that I’ve hopped that fence, I am always wondering how I ever even said that outloud!

We had always planned for a prolonged maternity leave when Henry was born but that I was going to go back to working as a Hospitalist PA and the babes would go to Daycare. Hubs and I both loved the socialization it brought for Charlotte and we thought it would be great for both of them to go. But as above, when the world turned upside down, like everyone else in the world- we decided to switch gears. I was blessed with the opportunity to stay home with them and here we are, almost one year later.

But these days are NOT all rainbows and butterflies. They are hard, they can be isolating and it can be very easy to lose yourself. It’s so important to find something for yourself – whether that be journaling, blogging, exercise, crafting – whatever it may be – I know that I personally needed something for myself.

But then there is the beauty. The beauty of seeing each moment of every ordinary day in these kids lives. I consider myself so lucky.

The two year old tries to do everything in her power to press my buttons on a daily basis and the little man would crawl inside of my body if he could but I am thankful for each moment I get to spend with them.

We definitely don’t have it all together. And it’s a miracle if we are all dressed in one day. Usually only one of us makes it out of pajamas and the rest of us look like we rolled out of bed. Note Charlotte in a bow, me sporting a mom bun and Henry in his Christmas pajamas with donut crumbs on the Ergo carrier.

But this is our day.

This is our mess.

This is our ordinary.

This is our Beautiful.

Beanies are definitely a staple for winter season and why not customize yours to your liking by selecting the knit color and pom pom like these ones from Cozy Beanies?

I mean.. I know I’m biased.. but is there anything cuter?

Charlotte and Henry are both wearing the same hat which can fit any little babe sizes 6months to 3 years. I love how warm they are and that we were all able to have matching hats.

Charlotte especially loved hers and would often wear it around the house just for fun!

I love this option on the website for another Mommy & Me if you want to switch it up with ear warmers!

Other cute options include this bow beanie for the girls:

Or these little football hats for the boys!

Also some great color options for Dad! I love that jade green color!
