Mama / Daughter Style Series: Evy’s Tree

evy's-tree5I know, I know.  This is the MAMA / daughter style series…..and we have an imposter today! I couldn’t help it….these pictures we took while on our trip to South Carolina were so adorable……that I had to share them.  Our trip was a total weather reversal (we flew from Los Angeles to San Francisco for a week, then flew to South Carolina).  The whole month leading up to our travels, I was SO SO SO worried about the weather in South Carolina.  These pictures are from a larger photoshoot we did with my husband’s entire family.  We wanted to shoot on the streets of Charleston, and I was absolutely convinced it would snow or rain.  Well, we had perfect weather in South Carolina and it rained the entire time we were in San Francisco! evy's-tree9evy's-tree1

Now, can we talk about our outfits?

Lydia’s skirt? Too cute right? I’ve talked about the company that sent over both Lydia’s skirt and tights before.  Schoola is an absolutely amazing organization.  As a teacher, I think they’re the greatest.  Why? They help schools provide programs for kids.  Schoola is an online shop filled with new and recycled women’s and children’s clothes.  Families send in pieces, and designate a school of their choice.  The proceeds from the sales of those items help fund arts, music and PE in schools across the country. And bonus? You can snag some great deals on kids’ clothing!

Now, my outfit.  This cape is seriously my favorite thing EVER.  It’s by Evy’s Tree (who I’ve talked about before).  They make easy, stylish pieces that every mom needs.  I’m a little embarrassed to admit how many of their sweatshirts I own.  The Britt Cape is comfy, warm and versatile…..in fact, each of us mamas styled it our own way this month.  Be sure to check out each of our blogs to see how we all wore it.  Oh, and…..Evy’s Tree is giving four readers each their own Britt Cape.  Yes, you read that right….FOUR.  One on each of our blogs.  So, after you scroll down and enter here…..be sure to visit each of my fellow Mamas to enter their contest as well!

HOSTED
I did it.⠀ ⠀ 🛏I spent Saturday night blissf I did it.⠀
⠀
🛏I spent Saturday night blissfully alone at a local hotel.  And now? I want to talk about it.  I was floored by the varied reactions when I mentioned doing this last week.  A lot of people seemed to love the idea, but a solid amount? Asked why.  Said it was a waste.  Said it was “too much”. So let’s unpack that.⠀
⠀
🛏First of all, of course different things are of value to different people.  This may not be of value to you and that is OK.  For me? After a year of staying at home here in California (and yes, it’s still going here with full time virtual school for Lydia)…..I felt like I needed an evening alone to decompress, to rest, and to be more present for my family.  I watched a million episodes of Scandal (how did I never watch this show??), got take out delivered, slept in, and it MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.⠀
⠀
🛏Does it make me a bad mother? A bad wife? Irresponsible with money or time? To spend an evening alone? That’s sort of what society tells us, right? And truth be told, I almost cancelled.  Was it too much? Was I being dramatic? Or ridiculous?  But the refreshed me today? Says it was just what I needed.⠀
⠀
🛏This is your daily dose of encouragement to take care of yourself and put your oxygen mask on first so you can truly be present for those you love.  I promise, it makes a difference. #troopselflove

❤️It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day…..and I have a question for you…….when was the last time you did an act of kindness for YOURSELF?⠀
⠀
💕I was talking on stories the other day about booking a hotel room to get away for a night this weekend.  ALONE.  The reaction was mixed.  Some said it was a great idea. Some said it was selfish or unnecessary. But, what if it’s simply to do something for myself?  What if it leaves me refreshed and more able to show up for those I love? That’s what kindness to yourself does.⠀
⠀
