What I Wore // Mama Style

This post contains affiliate links  Hat // Necklace // Gibson Blazer, old (similar, similar) // Tank [use code “BEST” to save 25%] // Free People Shorts, old (similar, similar) // Bracelet // Target Shoes, old (similar) This has has been on major repeat lately (as seen here and here), and I’m not even sorry about it. It is the perfect amount of floppy and the exactly right size for my noggin, two things that don’t happen often – especially simultaneously! I bought this Free People flowy skort from Nordstrom Rack like maybe three or four years ago when I worked at Nordstrom and had serious problems keeping myself from indulging in my employee discount. It is seriously one of the most comfortable pieces of clothing I own. Its soft and silky and while it feels like I’m wearing pajama shorts, they’re definitely more socially acceptable and way easier to dress up! The Gibson blazer is another indulgence from my Nordstrom days, and the perfect amount of “I borrowed this from my super hip grampa”. Layered over a plain white tank and accessorized with my SLATE Marble Triangle Necklace and Nakamol Mixed Crystals Coral & Gold Leather Wrap Bracelet that I got in my […]

This post contains affiliate links Hat // Headband (used as hatband) // Bar Necklace // Layered Necklace // Dress (sold out – similar + similar) // Sandals // Bracelet [use code ‘shannonbff207’ to get your first month FREE!] Happy Monday y’all! How were your weekends?  We finally got some rain here after a very long streak of 100+ temperatures and dry weather, so the green is starting to come back out and replace the sad dry brown colors that have been littering lawns and parks alike.  I honestly don’t feel like we got that much done this weekend other than grocery shopping and a little time spent on the driving range, but my goodness we’ve had a lot of laughter and snuggles so I’m counting it as a win! We’re trying to make quality nap times for H more of a priority since the kid struggles hard when he’s tired. Since he’s still at two a day, it’s keeping us home a lot more and forcing us to plan our errands around the few hours we have. The good thing about being home more is that we’re working on organizing and unpacking and creating a home that reflects us, which is SO much more than […]

Headband // Chambray // Shorts // Boots // Bracelet [use code ‘shannonbff207’ to get your first month FREE!] Notice anything a little different? I just chopped off almost s-i-x inches of hair – insert scream face emoji. I was feeling a little static and in need of a change, so I headed to my favorite hairdresser [seriously though, if you’re ever in the Boise area, you need to go to Victoria, aka: Tori, at Lunatic Fringe. She is amazing!] and told her I wanted something different and I left the salon 3.5 hours later feeling like a new woman! Isn’t it amazing what a little pampering and a great haircut can do for your outlook on life? I literally and figuratively feel so much lighter and now all my sad and stringy ends are where they belong: in the garbage and off my shoulders. An unexpected bonus to getting the “mom chop”? Hats and headbands / turbans are so much fun and look completely different! I am loving this Nakamol Mixed Crystals Coral & Gold Leather Wrap Bracelet that I got in my latest Rocksbox and it’s the perfect accompaniment to this super feminine velvety floral tie headband from RaynaJaye’s etsy shop. Have you […]

What I Wore // Mama Style ft eShakti

Maxi Dress: eShakti (use code ‘muchmostdarling‘ to save 10%) // Earrings + Necklace + Bracelet [use code ‘shannonbff207′ to get your first month FREE!] // Sandals: Tory Burch Casey Flats  I was so excited when eShakti reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in trying out their  uniquely customizable online boutique because I had heard great things about them from friends and other bloggers who had used their service. Being slightly under ‘Amazonian woman’ on the height scale, while having a large chest and hips with a small waist has its fair share of fit challenges. Usually if a garment fits my chest and hips, its way too big in the waist, and I typically need to size up to get a little extra length on dresses and tops so I’m not flashing anyone if I bend over, so I excitedly browsed their easy to use website to decide on a fun summer dress that would fit my frame.  Once I chose my dress from the hundreds of dresses, tops, skirts, pants, shorts and jumpsuits, I had the option to choose either a standard size or custom size and also had the option to customize the style of the […]

What I Wore // Mama Style

Today is the day. Excuse me while I have a mini meltdown. As I alluded to in yesterday’s post (here), I’m doing something kind of huge today. Today I’m participating in the 4th Trimester Bodies Project – ah.  Because I’m feeling a little extra nervous and needed a pick me up I pulled out a very very bright maxi. They say the color red is associated with energy, strength, power, determination and love – all of which are very appropriate for the documentary project.  Slipping into this skirt instantly gave me a little boost. I mean, how are you supposed to be anxious when you’re wearing a bold statement piece that also just so happens to be perfect for twirling? The fabric moves so beautifully it’s oddly enough actually a little calming to watch.  My gorgeous accessories all help add a little courage and bravery as well. My necklace, earrings and bracelet are all from Rocksbox and the arrow-like shapes in the necklace and bracelet make me feel a little like a warrior prepping for battle (if that makes any sense?). The turquoise ring was a gift from my grandmother: she and my grandfather had taken a jewelry making class […]

Hat: Forever21 // Sunglasses: Proof Eyewear // Necklace: Annie’s Nest Designs // Poncho: Shop Strands // Tee: The LB Brand // Bracelet: House of Harlow 1960 from RocksBox [use code ‘muchmostdarlingxoxo’ to get your 1st month free!] // Shorts: Target // Boots: Nordstrom Rack This poncho from Shop Strands has,unfortunately, been sitting neglected for a little while. During the move it somehow made its way into a box full of swimwear (this mama is so not ready for that yet), so there it sat until the Hubs and I worked on finishing my closet this past weekend.  This past winter and spring I wore it with skinny distressed denim, black jeans and a relaxed white button up, for a few crisp and clean looks and now it’s a perfect boho-esque topper to finish off a basic tee + cutoffs. I’m always surprised by this puppy every time I put it on. I was so nervous about the whole poncho ‘thing’, and wasn’t quite sure I would be able to pull off the boxy and unfitted silhouette, but it’s just so dang comfy I practically contemplate sleeping in it.   Although this is meant to be a poncho, it’s actually really awesome for […]

Ya know when you throw something on and just think ‘wow, this feels good’? Thats exactly the way I felt when I threw on this dress! It wasn’t much on the hanger, but I saw it on the rack and loved the colors and the feel of the fabric so I took a chance and brought it into the fitting room with me.   Necklace bracelet + earrings: Rocksbox [use code muchmostdarlingxoxo to get your first month FREE!] // Glasses: Coastal // Sunglasses: Subsidy Shades // Chambray: similar | similar // Dress: Love…Ady // Boots: Sole Society // Bracelets: Grampa Peterson The minute I put this on, it makes me want to jump and twirl and dance under the stars in the moonlight! Forewarning – this is picture heavy. Now that it’s summer, pants are overrated and all I want to wear are dresses. When I walked into the Rack to return a pair of shoes, the smart part of me knew that I should just walk away, but Hulk bebé and the Hubs were already inside so I figured a look around was totally fine. Silly, silly me. This dress entered my life and it was all over. Even in the fitting room, I was having way way way too much fun prancing around and showing off the beautiful lines and movement […]

What I Wore // Mama Style: Stripes + Free Month of Rocksbox

Necklace: Perry Street Kaylee Necklace | Earrings: SLATE pearl triangle studs | Bracelet: House of Harlow 1960 Aura Tennis Bracelet in Turquoise (gifts from RocksBox. Remember to use code “muchmostdarlingxoxo” to get your first month of Rocksbox free!) + black chain link bracelet from Hello Fab / Glasses: Firmoo / Hat: Forever21 / Dress: similar similar / Purse: Vintage / Shoes: Nordstrom   Have you ever had one of those days where you’re feeling defeated and are way harder on yourself than necessary? I am currently deep in one of those weeks.  Regardless of how many “To Do” lists I make, it always feels like I’m forgetting something or leaving an important detail off. It’s not that I’m a total ditz, it’s the fact that I’ve become a complete Forgetful Fannie since getting pregnant with H, and I’m pretty sure its just gotten worse in the last 15 months. Seriously. I’m that person who finds their cellphone in the vegetable crisper, and the carrots on my bedside table in the mornings, when it’s obviously supposed to be the other way around.  It’s like my mind is going so many places at once, I can either do a little of a lot, or a lot of a little, […]

I'm a coffee loving sometimes-blogger, wife, and stay at home mom to an almost 4 year old tornado of a toddler and chunky one year old boy! I share my honest motherhood moments, favorite family goodies, and the helpful hints I've discovered through my journey and with the aid of my 'tribe'.

  • This ❤️
You know what I wish someone had prepared me for when it comes to parenting?
The fact that you can experience 5,000 emotions within a less than 20 hour wake time.
But this was a pretty amazing way to be woken up on Saturday morning. Messy faces, bed heads, eye wrinkles and all ❤️

  • I was too busy to get out of my pajamas today because y’all Y’ALL I had a REAL LIVE HUMMINGBIRD IN MY HOUSE.
Which is obsessively documented in my stories 😂
It came in our master when it started to rain, then got stuck in the skylights. I legit spent all morning trying to brainstorm a way to get him down safely but the lacrosse stick that J used to wake me up was too short + we got rid of all our ladders.
I left out sugar water to try + coax him down, opened all the sliding doors (despite the rain 😬), + moved the boys out of the room so he’d hopefully try to stop flying away from our insanity (although I don’t blame him 😂).
Then when he DID come down, he landed on my favorite couch on my favorite slings + the boys + I just sat there for a while in awe of how beautiful + how still this beauty was.
I started getting nervous because he wasn’t moving. So my highly emotional self grabbed some new sugar water, went in + tried to give him some motivation to get up + be strong.
When Z got home from work, he walked into our room + ran over, since all he could see was me hunched over, shaking from sobbing in front of open doors while it’s raining freaking cats + dogs outside. I was balling while holding Mr 🐦 - bird in one hand (safely + gently wrapped in a dish towel) + spoonful of sugar water in the other.
I can only imagine the thoughts in his head when he saw me holding this bird, trying to get it to drink, muttering sweet nothings while blaming myself.
He convinced me to put the bird down + we left the room so I ran to the couch to play 17 games of sudoku + approx 11 of candy crush, + all of a sudden I hear - SHAN! He’s gone!
YOU GUYS THE BIRD FLEW AWAY! He was ok!!
So I cried some more.
So yeah, this is 25w 3d 🤰🏻
You cry over birds, don’t wash your face, + spend all day taking care of two children that refuse to wear clothes + play pet doctor 🤷🏻‍♀️

  • True life: I was going to get "IG ready", but realized in the time it would take to do my hair, makeup, get us all dressed and ready and the marshmallows out for bribery, we could have a real meal I didn't have to order online. And goodness knows I have my hands full enough with these two (and a half 🤰)!
I'm all for outsourcing, and @HelloFresh is the bee's knees when it comes to my too tired to be a Pinterest mom self. We get real, delicious recipes that are easy to make at home, even if you're a total Worst Cooks of America level chef and have a tendency to burn frozen pizzas in the oven 🤣
Use my code SHYNNZ80 to get $80 off your first month of @HelloFresh, and head to my stories for more!
.
Ya'll know I'm a huge proponent of getting the kids in the kitchen to encourage them to be a part of the entire cooking process and opening them up to trying new foods and flavors.
Swipe to see my little rabbit "helping" me cook, haha. Yup, that's a raw green pepper!
.
Are you more of a delivery or home made chef?

  • Is Valentine’s Day a big deal in your home?
I remember spending FOREVER making Zach bacon roses in the first home we bought together 8 years ago! Plus a beautiful parmesan + oregano crusted tilapia dinner with sautéed veggies + chocolate mousse from scratch for dessert 🙌🏻 But 9 years together + things are looking a little different these days.
This will be the 4th (5th?) year in a row he has to travel for work. So the boys + I snuck over to the @RalphsGrocery down the street to make him a little goody bag for the plane ride back East. I think it’s safe to say the boys know their dad’s sweet tooth is strong 😂 but I did convince them to throw in some healthier choices too, ha.
While J may have slept through it all, H was a huge help, looking super cool in his shades indoors (because… why not?!). Right before we checked out, he insisted on buying mama some flowers. But, you know, with my own money, because he conveniently left his piggy bank at home haha.
Thank goodness for these sweet boys + our Ralphs that has everything we need for every occasion - including free curbside pickup YAS.
(Thanks for all your help choosing in my stories earlier!)

And I officially think it’s time to retire this tank 😂 #BellyLikeWhoa
BUT we have reached our first viability milestone!!
Oh you sweet rainbow babe. You brothers love you so much already it literally makes me weepy.
[Swipe left to see the CUTEST video]
H loves to rub, and hug and kiss “his” baby “sister” all day long. “Mama, when I rub my head like this I can feel her kick!”
J loves to slap my belly constantly 🙈 (welcome to the family, little one - you better get used to it haha) BUT he also loves to loudly shout “I LOVE YOU BABY” every chance he can.
.
Names feel REALLY hard this time around - what are some of your favorites?
(Reminder: we aren’t finding out the sex, so we need “boy” and “girl” suggestions!)
We love strong, classic names, and basically haven’t been able to agree on anything. And knowing how bad I am at making actual decisions, it could take the entire 15-16+ weeks I have left 🙈

  • I still pinch myself daily over this truly being a reality ❤️
Woke up to the most beautiful @thebouqsco flowers on my doorstep and it got me a little misty eyed. I am so thankful for the sweet people in my life. All of you who have supported me when I’ve shared our struggles. All of the incredible woman that have offered support, words of kindness, and an ear whenever I’ve needed.
To the women that share their pain, their hurt, but also their joys and victories. To the other parents offering solidarity when it’s 2am and you’re in bed crying because your 13 month old still hasn’t slept through the night, or your PGAL mind is in overdrive as you awaken in an anxiety filled panic. This is for you ❤️
Happy Galentine’s Day, from this sweet rainbow baby and I ❤️

And as I’m tying this my belly is visibly moving from our little rainbow babe!
Tomorrow is our meeting with the specialist for the additional ultrasound of baby’s brain and face. I’m staying positive, and most importantly staying off google. But if I’m being honest I’m just really, really nervous.
All day today I have felt like a total crazy person. When Zach called at lunch I think he could tell I wasn’t doing well, and he ended up cancelling the rest of his day and coming home to help calm me down. He let me ramble out all the crazies, and assured me he just knew it would all be ok. Times like this when my anxiety is on overdrive, I am so thankful for his calm and rationale.
Keeping my fingers crossed all we hear tomorrow is good things.
.
I also had my first official appointment with my home birth midwife earlier this week!! She is super excited the OB that she works with saw that my placenta previa has cleared 🙌🏻 and has total confidence in me having a successful home birth!!
She was just as amazing as I remembered in our interview, and I know she’s going to be an incredible asset for the rest of this pregnancy.
.
Still on my sour gummies kick, but lately rotisserie chicken and salad, with a giant bowl of edamame and a side of fresh sliced mango are my heaven. Although I surely wouldn’t turn down a brownie or ube cheesecake if offered 😂
