So this weather we’ve been having lately has been AH-mazing!! Upper 50s and 60s, (mostly) sunny–Such a welcome relief from the rainy/grey winter! M, Lilly and I have really made good use of our weekends, these last couple weeks, and have taken quite a few walks either on the walking trail close to our house, or through some of the other townships here in Cincinnati (I post quite a bit on my Instagram stories!).
Happy February, friends!
Wow, I cannot believe I just typed that last sentence–does anyone else feel like January went by unusually fast??
I’ve been scrolling through my Instagram feed, recently (ok, when am I not scrolling through it?), and I’m getting the same vibe from everyone; we’ve had enough of winter, and are more than ready for spring to arrive!
I know, I know, it’s only February 3rd (!!!), just halfway through winter, but I’m desperate for warmer temps and sunny days!
I have a confession to make–I am kind of stuck in a neutral…both in blogging and getting dressed every day.
The blog thing is because of all that has happened these last three months (baby, moving, vacation to Germany), and I’m ever so slowly getting back into the groove (I promise I’ll get a post up about our trip, soon!!).
Getting dressed is another issue, because I have seemingly overstocked my closet with neutrals, this winter.
Well I certainly did not think I would get this far, but here I am! One week past my due date, and Baby Girl is still cozied up inside. We’ve tried just about everything in the book to induce labor, walking, bouncing on an exercise ball (I’ve bounced so much on it, that it’s starting to go flat!), spicy foods, hot baths, cinnamon stick tea….aaand nada.
Each day, I find a new level of discomfort, a new level of tired, and a new level of being over it.
Ok, you all, you have to purchase this cable knit turtleneck. Seriously, you will not regret it!! I loved this sweater so much when I purchased it in burgundy and orchid last year, that I had to add another color when J.Crew restocked them this year. J.Crew’s game has been ON POINT this year!
Unfortunately, the burgundy color was not restocked this year, BUT the sweater does come in eight other wonderful colors. I’m considering going back for the navy one…when you really like something, you buy it in all colors, right? 😀
Even though October has officially arrived, temperatures are a little above average right now. I can’t complain too much, the humidity is gone, and it’s breezy so it doesn’t really feel like it’s in the low 80s, and the mornings and evening are still cool. So while Fall continues to figure her stuff out (and while Baby Girl is content staying put for the time being), I am sticking with comfortable outfits that can easily transition from daytime to nighttime temps! M. and I have been taking a lot of walks in the evenings to try to speed up labor, haha, and it cools off enough to need light layers.
