We finally booked our family summer vacation so I bought the girls a few new warm weather pieces. I think It is pretty obvious I love the color blue but I also find it easier to dress the girls if everything some what goes together. Here is a list of what I bought my little monkeys. 

I love that the girls can put these adorable sandals on themselves. 

This suit has everything going for it. It is under twelve dollars, striped, and blue. I love that it is a modest two piece which makes bathroom breaks SO much easier. 

I love to buy these classic Ralph Lauren cardigans when they go on sale. They instantly elevate an outfit and they wash well. 

This white jacket it perfect for a cool summer's day. We see a whole lot of fog in the summer months.


I had to get this for the girls. It is darling! I bought the same set in this other super pretty print as well. 

White shorts go with so many cute tops and I love them paired with a cute striped tee. 

The girls have a very sweet red striped tee that is no longer available. This one is very cute. 

















The girls' Duvet(this is the newer version) | Pajamas 

    About three weeks ago Sophie and Margot ventured into the last frontier of potty training...sleeping in big girl undies and giving up pull ups for good! 

   Up until now the girls wore one-piece pajamas and unfortunately, the girls, find them very challenging to put back on after a potty break. We needed two piece jammies.  I bought several pair for the girls and these are by far our favorite. 

    These incredible soft jammies come in six different colors, range in size 24 months to size 6. They are made of a very high quality cotton. To be honest,  I was blown away by how nice these are considering the price! Did I mention they are under twenty dollars? I have one issue. They don't come in my size.

Seven months of motherhood has flown by, yet I can’t remember the days when I did not have to worry about my little bugs. My entire life, I knew I wanted to be a mother, and here I am doing it!  Somedays it hits me: “Oh my god. I am a mom. These two beautiful girls are mine.” 

Days with any new baby can be a blur, but with twins things are extra blurry.  It is so easy to think, “what’s next” and getting caught up in the “task” of motherhood. A bottle. A nap. A walk. A diaper change. Repeat. I have been trying really hard to hold on to the moment and value where the girls are at today. Live in the moment. It sounds like such a cliche but, god, it’s especially true when kids are concerned. You don’t get this time back.

Being a mommy to identical twins, I feel it’s very important to celebrate their differences and at the same time foster their very special unique twin bond and relationship. I am absolutely loving watching the girls develop their own little personalities.

Margot loves to smile with her cute little tongue out. She is an incredibly curious little girl and needs to reach out and touch everything including mine and her daddy’s face. Margot loves meeting new people and is quick to give a smile. She can’t stop rolling over but does not yet understand why she needs to be on her tummy so she becomes frustrated through out the day. I am sure she will figure out soon enough this position will lead to crawling and exploring which our Margot will love.  She loves when I give her kisses on her cheeks and belly. Margot has a hard time falling asleep but once she is out she is out!

Sophie can’t stop moving. She kicks all day long. We call her our little River Dancer! All I have to say is kick kick or wiggle wiggle and she starts moving. At home she is VERY out going but out and about she holds back the smiles a little and is more of a observer. She love books and music. When you talk to her she really listens. Sophie loves to cuddle and falls asleep pretty easily but wakes easy.

Both girls love their mommy and hang on every word. Who knew I was so interesting? We giggle all day. I am loving that, for the moment, I can be the center of their world. I know one day that this always won’t be the case so I am living in the moment and loving every minute of it. I love being their mother with my whole being. It is the hardest, most exhausting thing I have very done, but I would not trade a minute of it for the world. Seven months…where has the time gone? 

These super cute outfits are available at Target! Really? How cute are the girl's chucky monkey thighs in those knee high sock which are included in the set?! Sooooo CUTE!! I could eat them up! The mocs are available from a wonderful shop on Etsy.They come is lots of colors. I love supporting small business owners and they are exteamly high quality at a very reasonable price point...which is key when you are buying everything times two!
