Can we talk Mommy and Me Winter Accessories? These accessories are year round must have items, that your little girl will love as much as you do!One of the things I get emailed about the MOST?  Mommy and me outfits with Lydia.  Sort of ironic since I swore I would never be one of those moms that dressed like their toddler.  Fast forward three years, and Lydia is obsessed with matching.  Her favorite thing to do is dress like her mommy.

So my solution? A handful of pieces that are the same…..so that we match without looking like twins.Can we talk Mommy and Me Winter Accessories? These accessories are year round must have items, that your little girl will love as much as you do!Must Have Mommy and Me Accessories for Winter:

A few tips……think basics.  Matching dresses are adorable, but you’re not going to get much use out of them.  Basic pieces that you can wear with your mini me or on your own? The best type of investment.

  1. Basic Skinny Jeans: Everyone needs a great fitting pair of jeans (even toddlers).  This winter I invested in a couple pairs of dark denim skinny jeans for each of us.  And they’ve been worn more than ANYTHING else in our closets.
  2. Faux Fur Jackets: I have to admit, I avoided faux fur jackets like the plague for awhile.  They seemed to be a bit too much.  Well, after Lydia picked out one of her own….I had to have one too.  We’ve worn them with everything from jeans to dresses.
  3. Graphic Tees: Graphic Tees are a year round staple that can be dressed up our dressed down.  Our favs to wear together? Rock tees.  Real or imaginary.
  4. Neutral Boots: Both of us have been wearing nude colored boots since the cold weather (finally) hit here in LA.  They can be worn with dresses and tights or our favorite leggings.

And our favorite mommy and me accessory for cold weather (and all year long)? Our mommy and me sunglasses!  This year I invested in Ray-Ban glasses for each of us.  Did you know that Ray-Ban carries sunglasses for your mini-me? They’re a totally reasonable price too!  I love that these classics will never go out of style (I’ll be wearing mine even when Lydia is grown and wants nothing to do with matching outfits).  In fact (at the risk of being THAT family), my husband owns a pair as well.  Don’t judge us if you see all three of us sporting our aviators during a family date!

Fun Gift Idea: Ray-Ban offers the option to customize their glasses (junior shades included)……how cute would it be to engrave mommy and me glasses?!?

🧡 Here’s to the what ifs that become……look what I did moments.⠀
⠀
❤️ This photo shoot is one of them for me. Bravery and stepping out in faith looks different for each of us.  But this is my reminder to y’all and myself…..that when you show yourself in whatever way that looks like for you…….the people who are supposed to be in your life……will be.⠀
⠀
🧡 Cheers to thick thighs, bravery that comes with age, and (no apologies) seeing beauty in ourselves. #troopselflove

⠀
🧡<Sponsored by Avrio Health> Let’s be honest, this normally falls to the wayside, am I right?  As parents, we tend to be way more prepared for our kids' sick days than our own. ⠀
⠀
💛This year, I’m committing to being AS PREPARED to take care of myself as I am to take care of Lydia (reminder moms, these aren’t mutually exclusive….taking care of YOURSELF is important too). I always keep “sick day supplies” on hand for Lydia and this year I'm finally making myself a priority too. ⠀
⠀
💚In my "Sick Day" Kit:⠀
1️⃣Orange Juice:  If I start to feel sick…..Vitamin C filled juice is first up!⠀
2️⃣ @Betadine_us Antiseptic Sore Throat Gargle: This fast-acting gargle temporarily relieves occasional sore throat. I stocked up on this! You can #UpYourGargleGame by buying it at Walgreens or from Amazon! Betadine Gargle should be used as directed for adults and children 12 years and older. See product labeling for directions and warnings. ⠀
3️⃣Heating Pad: Sore muscles? Slept poorly? All of these things tend to come along with sick days and a heating pad is a must have.⠀
4️⃣Ice Packs: I started stocking extra ice packs in our freezer in case of headaches.⠀
5️⃣Soup: Tummy trouble? Better to have soup on hand for when I need it.⠀
⠀
💙What do you keep in the house for sick days?⠀
Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everyw Watch out for that glass ladies……it’s everywhere!

To broken glass ceilings, rebuilding our nation, and starting the journey of 1000 miles with a single step.

Joy cometh in the morning.
📣How are you using your Influence?📣⠀
⠀
💛I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. We ALL have influence…..on this app, in our church pews, on our personal social media, in our private conversations, talking from 6 feet apart to our neighbors, in the way we address conflicting viewpoints (note to self on this one), over our children and our students.  To be in community with others is to have influence.  How are we each using it? ⠀
⠀
💛This lady? We’re talking all about Inspiration this month and she’s one of mine.  At 75 years old (happy birthday Dolly), not only is she one of THE most successful recording artists…..but talk about using your influence.  From speaking up to say that Black Lives Matter to founding her Imagination Library which provides books to children worldwide…..this lady proactively uses her talent and influence to serve others.  May I do the same at the ripe age of 75.⠀
⠀
💛So what does that look like for me? Authentic conversation everywhere…..including here.  To be transparent, every time I’ve spoke up about basic human rights here in the last few years…….people leave our community. And that? Is just fine with me.  Because, what good is this community if I can't speak about the values that are a core part of who I am? Now? I want to do more. A foundation? Charity work? I’m not sure, but I can tell you…..I’m inspired and I hope you are too.  Change starts with us.⠀
⠀
💛(ps, if you want to support Dolly’s Imagination Library, a book is donated to it for every one of these sweatshirts sold….I include the info here for those of you on like to know it and in my profile for the rest of y’all).⠀

✨Story time.  I rarely share pictures of Lydia by herself on here.  But this? Is a story of when my seven year old reminded me how to love myself.  We had plans to shoot a BUNCH of images at once, a batch shoot.  So as Lydia watched me planning outfits and get organized, she decided she wanted to do her own thing.  She picked an outfit and her favorite shoes. ⠀
⠀
✨And she did the darn thing.  This? She picked the angle and background.  And the joy? Look at the joy.  That’s not posed. ⠀
⠀
✨Somewhere along the way…..as tweens or teens or adults, we lose the joy.  The, I feel pretty and want to twirl in my dress joy.  We worry that our thighs are rubbing together or our hair looks weird, or that we should be wearing a darker color to minimize things.  And…..we’re missing the point.  Sometimes, you just need a dress you can twirl in with a smile on your face.⠀
⠀
✨Thanks Lydia. ⠀

These photos are something I told myself a million times I wanted to take.  And something I told myself a million times I shouldn’t.  Here’s to the millionth time plus one.  A 41 year old curvy mom.  Yup, thick thighs and all.  And I’m so proud of how they turned out.⠀
