Baby it’s Cold Outside

December 14, 2020

From where I sit in my living room, I can see our snowy backyard – and yes, our snowy coop where our hens are happily pecking at the snow and ruffling their feathers for warmth. Yesterday was the first snow day in Oklahoma and my husband and I truly made the most of it. We cooked a delicious breakfast together, played 6 rounds of Yahtzee, drank hot tea and spent time with our chickens, messed around with cocktail recipes and more. But the real crowning glory of the day was going to see A Christmas Carol. In 2020, companies of all kinds have had to figure out how to do things differently and theater companies are no exception. Our local theater, Lyric, found a unique way to still go forward with their 10th anniversary production of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Instead of indoors on a stage, Lyric found a beautiful property with multiple Victorian homes and barns on it and was able to create a walk-around experience where (grouped in small groups and distanced from other groups) you get to walk around the property with the actors while they perform the play. Honestly, it was so much better having such different settings for each scene and getting to follow them around! It was truly unique AND it was beyond quintessential to have done this in our first snow of the year. I was bursting with Christmas spirit.

As Ebenezer Scrooge said, “I will honor the spirit of Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.”

But let’s get to the point of this blog post, shall we? Earlier this year I bought a coat from H&M and I wore that coat for the first time to go see A Christmas Carol. I bought it for a few reasons. Number one, it reminded me of Kate Middleton. Second, I’m *notorious* for not wearing coats because to be frank, I don’t like them. What’s the point of wearing a cute outfit if you’re just going to cover it with a coat? Yes, it sounds juvenile to me too even as I write it. But I swear to you, I’ve always opted not to wear a coat because of this line of thinking. And not only have the, “Oh you must be freezing!” comments gotten extremely old, but…I’ve realized in my wise old age of 30 that I’ve ben doing it wrong. I always thought it was the outfit underneath that really mattered but I now realize that with the right coat, it truly does not matter what you have going on underneath it because the right coat itself truly is the outfit.

So, I’ve compiled a guide of winter coats that are so much more than just utility. They are all gorgeous, chic, affordable and deserving of a place in your hall coat closet.

How To: Branding Headshots

These days I don’t do my hair and makeup all tha These days I don’t do my hair and makeup all that often because, ya know, I’m living that maternity leave life. So when I do, it must be documented. Especially when the outfit is this good. I got dressed yesterday and looked in the mirror and said to Adam, “This is an extremely on brand outfit for me.” 😂 We’ve got the bright colors, preppy vibe, gold Lilly P bag and it’s topped off with a pastel pink headband. In other words: I love it.

I can’t promise that this dress is still in stock but I do know that it’s frequently restocked!

Cheers to chilled champagne, oysters on ice and time spent with those we love. 

What’s everyone up to this weekend??
All I’m saying is, today at lunch a woman came u All I’m saying is, today at lunch a woman came up to our table and told me that I was beautiful and looked like a model. She had no clue that just 3 weeks ago I was on the operating table being cut open in an unplanned c-section and let me tell you…I almost sobbed into my Caesar salad. You truly can never underestimate a moment of kindness shown to a stranger! 

On another note, this jumpsuit was a late night hospital buy from Amazon and okay hiiii I love it. Worth every penny. All linked on my LTK! Wearing size small for reference.

Saturdaying well with iced coffee, macarons and al Saturdaying well with iced coffee, macarons and all pink everything. This momma is thoroughly enjoying getting back into cute clothes and back out into the world. I’m two weeks postpartum and, while still recovering (shoutout to my other unplanned c-section mommas), I’m feeling back to normal more and more every day. A woman’s body is such a fierce and incredible thing! 

P.S - swipe to see my face when someone tells me some juicy gossip 😂

P.S.S - I ordered this Amazon jumpsuit while still in the hospital and I’m so glad I did, it’s perfect for postpartum comfort!

Today on DownintheHollow.com - I’ve shared our w Today on DownintheHollow.com - I’ve shared our whole birth story, start to finish. The good, the bad and the beautiful. I know you’re all wondering how it went since I was so vocal about training for unmedicated labor and this post shares the raw, honest truth. It was the longest, hardest 26 hours of my life. And I’d do it all over again for my sweet girl. Funny how the hardships of labor get so fuzzy in detail once you’re on the other side of it because the other side is just so sweet 💕
We got to do a newborn photoshoot with our 11 day We got to do a newborn photoshoot with our 11 day old peanut today and it was such a sentimental experience. I know all moms will feel me when I say this but it is truly the biggest honor of my life being my little girl’s momma. 

I won’t be posting the newborn session (I’m sure you’re all already sick of me posting pictures with emojis over her face as it is 😂) but wanted to share the outfit I wore. This dress is sold out at Target but I’ve linked my accessories and our car seat/stroller!

Celebrating our original due date with our first d Celebrating our original due date with our first dinner out as a family of three, finally getting those oysters I’ve been missing!

We are one week out from having our sweet baby and I’m embracing the postpartum recovery. I have quite a ways to go in terms of healing my body, but I decided to wear the dress, have dinner with the man I love, take pictures we can have of this moment and enjoy every second soaking up being a new momma. 

This dress is an Amazon find and I want it in every floral color way. So good!
