Why can’t I stop thinking about Halloween? Based on what I’m seeing all over TikTok, I think The Parent Trap is going to be a top contender for Halloween costume ideas… and it’s pretty easy to recreate! I’m sharing this early in case it takes some time to get your costumes together. (Aka convince all your friends to join in on the fun.) Even if you don’t have Halloween plans, I’ve seen groups of girls do this for bachelorette parties, too, which I think is the cutest idea ever. (Matching camp shirts or “Parker Knoll” t-shirts, anyone?)
My friend Carly and I did this one year and it was a huge hit.Highly recommend doing this. It’s one of those perfect Halloween costume ideas that is trendy (Parent Trapis having a moment on TikTok) and also easy to put together with real clothes. Personally those are my favorite kinds of costumes– no need to waste money on cheap costumes that feel itchy and uncomfortable on! Plus, from my experience, this is a great way to go a little viral on Instagram or TikTok too.
It also totally works to do it alone (maybe one of the twins you connect with the most– I’m more of an Annie James myself) with a friend (definitely go as the twins, either in the classic outfits or matching Camp Walden shirts!), or as a group (Annie James, Hallie Parker, Chessy, Meredith Blake, etc.).
Does it get more iconic than this? No one does costuming or set design like Nancy Meyers.
ANNIE JAMES:
Tweed Jacket + Tweed Skirt + Travel Case + Shoes + Headband
HALLIE PARKER:
Denim Jacket + Tee + Shorts + Duffle Bag + Sneakers + Sunglasses
“Camp Walden” Tee + “Parker Knoll” Tee
MEREDITH BLAKE:
I had to include iconic Meredith Blake here as well. You could totally do either look. I think her hiking look is a little more recognizable especially if you glue a lizard onto an Evian bottle…. but if you’re going with the group, the poolside winery look would also be fab.
Sports Bra + Zip Up + Leggings + Lizard (lol) + Backpack + Sneakers

I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes! (If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)

We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.

Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍

I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips). Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it

This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).

Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years… I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes. I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself. I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face. I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍

The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
