Matching Girls Monday: Girl Power

Girl Power

It’s a big month for women, and we’re celebrating with some serious GRLPWR on our first Matching Girls Monday of the year. Bring on 2021!

Goodbye, Summer. It’s been a good one.

Golden Hour at Park

Sometimes you’re at the park and you notice that it’s perfectly lit in one of the last golden hours of summer. And, of course you must do a 30 second photo shoot to commemorate it. I’m so sad that it’s the end of summer, the end of no schedules, and the end of lazy days doing whatever we want. But, I also know that it’s important to celebrate the fun we had, and embrace this coming school year. 

Matching Girls Monday: spring preview in Seattle

We have had a beautiful winter here in Seattle, with so much sun and warmth. I’m so looking forward to spring so we can get out even more and hike and bike with the littles.  But, for now, I’m going to just be grateful that this is our winter views. We may be wearing jackets … Read more

Matching Girls Monday: a day at the Seattle zoo

Matching girls together

In an extremely rare boy-less day, we got to take these sweet sisters out to the Woodland Park Zoo and let them call the shots. We stayed far longer than I thought we would at the otters, we visited the park we usually skip right by, and we fed the birds that my son isn’t interested in touching. All in all, it was a great day and they looked adorable in their matching Gymboree dresses and leggings. 

Matching girls: Old Navy in fall

Mama and tween

My oldest came home from school camp this week, and I swear she aged a decade. She left a tween and now look at her. Of course, the fact that she’s experimenting with makeup doesn’t help things any. The day she came home, she wanted to plan a girls day with mani/pedis and some shopping … Read more

Matching Girls Monday: beach at sundown

Beach Day matching girls kissing

Living so close to so many beaches means that just about every day can be a beach day. While we love spending whole days at the beach, we also love that we can just stop into beaches on our way home to see the sunset and let the kids play for a bit.  No swimsuit … Read more

Matching girls in Gymboree 2

Once again we were joined by our lovely neighbors for a matching girls day. My girls love matching their “cousins” and I love all the excitement they all have for matching each other.

Motherhood: a lesson on time and space

Cousins at the zoo 10

I always hoped that my girls would be close. I wished more than anything for a sister for my oldest, and I was so excited when my wish came true. But, in the back of my mind I worried that there was too much space between them. Too many years between them for them to … Read more

Matching Girls Monday: back to school

Gymboree dance

Do you remember my sneak peek of my girls’ back to school outfits from Gymboree? Well, here’s the complete outfit:I admit that I fell in love with these boots first and then built the rest of the outfit around them because I love them that much. My daughter has worn Gymboree boots every year that … Read more
