I love when those “this time ‘x’ years ago” memories pops up on social media and shows you what was happening the same day, several years ago. It always grants me perspective in life. Yesterday, a memory popped up from 8 years ago… we were in Scottsdale, AZ celebrating TJ’s 30th birthday with a bunch of friends… and when I started to go through all the “this day…” photos I stumbled across one from last year. 365 days ago, we were prepping to head to Hawaii to celebrate TJ’s birthday. Yet, before we flew out, we had our 12 week ultrasound for Camille. I remember being filled with so many different emotions… nerves + excitement are the two that quickly come to mind. Obviously, everything went well + we headed off on our trip…..

As we prepare to celebrate TJ’s birthday this coming weekend, it’s amazing to see where we’ve come over the past 8 years… from wild celebrations with friends… an ultrasound before a birthday trip… to two little girls a year later. And while none of this directly pertains to today’s post… it’s all just a reminder of how much can change in a year… let alone 8 yers for that matter!

And as I talk about changes, so much shifts for us each month. As Camille gets a little older, we start to feel the semblance of our old routines returning…. namely, as she begins to take a shorter evening nap, it affords us the opportunity to venture out, as a family, for an early dinner or happy hour… something we used to do every Friday night. As we begin to think about weaving that old routine back in, I can’t help but feel as if this ribbed jumpsuit would be such an easy piece to take me from day to night with a few simple shifts. Tossing on this chunky knit cardigan with an easy pair of mules or sneakers makes it super comfortable for literally anything... and then swapping out the shoes for something a little more statement making + an edgy leather jacket (my major investment this fall season) makes it perfect for evening. Heck, it’s so comfortable that you could easily just lounge around the house in it as well!

I wonder where we will be next year…..
