I love when he runs to me for a kiss on his hand or knee or anything that hurts, half the time I think it’s just made up, but I love that he feels like he needs me to feel better 🙂 I hope this stage lasts for awhile!Fashion Bloggers Hello Fashion

I found this quote on Pinterest the other day (see below) and it really spoke to me. I feel like B is reaching that crazy stage of the two’s (even though he’s not quite two) and there are some days I wonder if I know what the heck I’m doing! When I find myself having one of those days I just try focusing on how I can make him laugh. Sometimes it’s tickles, or my ridiculous dance moves, but seeing him giggle and smile always erases those fears of doubt and I’m reminded there’s no perfect way to be a mom, all they need is your unconditional love 🙂

MOTHERHOOD
Is a choice you make everyday,
to put someone else’s happiness
and well being ahead of your own,
to teach the hard lessons,
to do the right thing
even when your not sure what
the right thing is…
and to forgive yourself, over and over
again for doing everything wrong.

I’ve really been into scarves this season. They are the most basic piece but they really transform your look. I’m always drawn to the traditional plaids and buffalo checks and so many of my favorite finds this season have incorporated those prints. I love this sleeveless top (under $30) and how pretty is this plaid bomber (under $40)? I also got these slip-on sneakers and this scarf in green. The plaid flannel selection is also really good at Old Navy right now for kids and I’m obsessed with the wool trapper hats! Now if I can get B to keep it on his head for more than 2 seconds 😉

Hey guys! Football season is still going strong and Cody and I always look forward to seeing our teams play on Sunday. We had a pretty exciting match up a couple weeks ago with the Niners and the Seahawks, but for Cody’s sake I won’t remind you how the game ended. 😉

Team apparel is a must for showing your team spirit, not just game day but all year long. Now that temperatures are dropping it’s all about adding layers to spice up your team’s tee and make it more versatile. I layered my Majestic Significant Speed Seahawks tee (love the vintage heathered look of this tee) under a suede moto jacket for some different textures, tied a plaid shirt around my waist for color, and added tall boots for a more seasonal look. We’re in it for the long haul, so as it gets even colder you can layer up with beanies, scarves and more cozy accessories to take you through to the Super Bowl. It’s looking like it might be the Patriots again this year!

Go Seahawks!

I’ve always loved the boyfriend look, whether it’s clothes or in the finer details like accessories. Watches in general have always been a weakness of mine. I love the oversized faces and the chunky chains that add a casual edge to even the most feminine looks.

I found this one under the men’s selection (a true boyfriend watch 😉 and love it. It’s nice because leather band watches Cody and I can share so it’s like a two for one! I love the black on black detailing. Also love this option for a sleeker fit.

I love this time of year when there’s snow outside and you can cuddle up in your pajamas or a comfy robe, with a mug of hot chocolate, watching your favorite show. (Have you guys watched How to Get Away With Murder? I’m addicted!)

Growing up my grandma would get all of us matching pajamas and socks every year so I’m always excited to do it for my family now. I got this plaid pair and I’m obsessed! They are super soft and I love that they are more fitted down the leg. If I need to run somewhere I can just throw my Uggs on over them and I’m good to go. Christmas socks are another all time favorite! I just ordered this pair and this pair. I love the cable knit on these ones. Below are a few more lounge favorites:
