This time of year is such a weather tease! And will be for the next couple of months…. Warm-ish, freezing, rain, snow, sleet, wind, blue skies – sometimes all on the same day. We’ve enjoyed an unusually warm and gorgeous spring spell, but it’s been back to frigid degrees and snow this past week. Then
Beautifying in a Polar Vortex
Most of us east coasters have been braving this super cold blast that’s been hitting in full force, as of late! I’m not used to this blistering cold at all, but life goes on…. right?!? Like running the kids into school, walking to work, or, like we did last week, embracing/braving even more cold and snow on
Pale Blue Sunset
Not gonna lie; this week has been so beautiful and wonderful in many ways, but it has also been brutally long, hard, and emotionally draining. All I have to say is…. T.G.I.F. !!! I hope we’re all able to enjoy a lovely, relaxing, rejuvenating weekend. 🙂 -Carrie Mama x 4 + SMP Founder Shop My Look
Oui Oui, Mademoiselle
My little girls just spent this past weekend at a father-daughter campout, and had the time of their lives (!!), but it somehow sparked a deep need in my eldest to have more one-on-one time with me. So. On a particularly blustery day, we dressed our own versions of “French,” bought croissants, and walked around
Outta the Park
Part Two of last post…. Same day, different outfit. 🙂 This day was outta-the-park good – one for the books. It was one of those days where everything just easily fell into place, and had the perfect motion and cadence of a film…. A rarity in this circus fam, to say the least! After shopping and
Spring has Sprung
While much of the east coast is all bundled up, and bracing against the bitter cold, us Oregonians are baring legs and donning light jackets – just in case we get a slight chill (yes, I’m totally bragging). I cannot even believe it. It’s February!!! And I am not complaining one bit. I’m not even

I just want to give a shout out to style.com for allowing this beauty stylist to experience fashion week from KY! Being able to see up-to-the-minute updates on
A (Scarlett) Rose by any other Name…
I loved putting this post together, because I felt as though I could see my daughter through a literal, fresh lens. Since the day she was born, she’s always been so calm, collected, and even when holding her in my arms those first few minutes of her life, I felt like she already knew all
Love in the (Late) Afternoon
You’ve seen that movie, right? Love in the Afternoon with Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper? Well anyway, that’s where my title came from in case you were lost 😉 As I’ve probably mentioned 2,700+ times, dates with my one-and-only are hard to carve out, but when we are able, we pounce on ’em. This was
Ice Dream Date
I recently went on a little ice cream date with my 6-year-old son, and I can’t tell you how unbelievably sweet the whole experience was! It expanded far beyond the 45 minutes of precious, one-on-one time (and in our crazy, 4-kiddo fam, one-on-one time is Holy Grail sacred). In the days leading up to it,
