They Just Don’t Make Them Like They Used To
Vintage Dresses – Something near and dear to my heart! I swear I was born in the wrong era sometimes. The 1950’s would’ve been my jam! (rockabilly at heart 💛) Once upon a time my 3 boys were ages 4 and under. I rarely made it out of the house most days, and I of course rarely put on a dress. One fine day, my oldest was watching a show on TV and my middle son was napping. I was sitting on the couch nursing the baby in one arm and surfing Etsy on the iPad with the other. To be precise, I was checking out 1950’s floral vintage dresses, they…

If Overalls Are Wrong, I Don’t Want To Be Right.
Not sure if you’ve noticed or not, but I’m slightly obsessed with these Madewell black denim overalls! There are so many ways to style them and make them work for yourselves, and I’m going to share some inspiration with you! Overalls aren’t just for preschoolers and toddlers anymore; they are alive and well in the adult world too.

They were first introduced back in the 1940’s as a “shirtwaist dress”, achieving that name from combining a blouse top and a skirt bottom into one dress…genius!

Surf’s Up!
Surfs up! I’m a big fan of wearing boardshorts when I’m taking my kids to the beach or the pool. They’re fun, comfortable, waterproof (I wear them right in the water)…and they keep you covered as you’re running after your little ones, or racing over to stop them from doing something dangerous (that’s me!) And as a mom, I still feel a little bit cool wearing them. Boardshorts, I’d like you to meet Tara After I had my third baby, one of the million things that dawned on me was this: I was going to be bringing three small children to the town swimming park, by myself…yikes! I knew I…
