Before I dive into the two questions I get asked pretty often: "Is Nate potty trained?" and "Does Nate speak Russian?" I want to take a moment and mention how much I love trench coats on children. I mean, is it me or is it not the cutest thing in the world? Read More

It took me a little bit to come to terms that sneakers can easily equal a stylish outfit. I've always been such a heels girl, but the reality is, that's not as realistic with a small child or children. Sure, there are exceptions, but in most cases, sneakers or flats win. Admittedly, as I've mentioned in the past, I've been having a lot of fun challenging myself by putting these types of looks together. Styling an outfit around a pair of pumps comes very naturally to me, but a sneakers outfit is a wee bit out of my comfort zone. I've learned, just with any styling, that proportions are key. If weather allows, I prefer to have a little bit of ankle showing. Overall, I think it's just a flattering look and helps to balance everything outRead More

A little over two weeks ago, I was meeting the girls for dinner. At that point, I was itching to escape the cold for a few days and I knew that Keith, who is smack in the middle of his busy season (he was doing the sound on a couple of movies that were premiering at Sundance), was unable to really travel anywhere. Of course, I always want to go away with my husband and family, but I've never been one to turn down a girls trip. Randomly, I asked the girls if they'd want to take the (baby) boys and take a little getaway. I didn't expect such an eager "hell yes," thinking everyone had plans or things going on, but luckily, everyone was game!
