This weekend was a busy one! Lots of photo shoots, editing, and family/friend gatherings. I unplugged from my phone as much as possible and soaked up every minute that I could with my boys. When we have busy days ahead of us, I like planning our outfits, snacks, and what I need to pack in my diaper bag ahead of time.

Speaking of outfits, I found this beautiful Free People dress on sale a couple week ago and knew I needed to have it! I used Wikibuy and it automatically applied the best coupon at checkout! Who doesn't love saving money? Also, how cute are the boys in their little matching shirts? I recently purchased these oversized t-shirts and I'm obsessed with the style and fit.

When it comes to diaper bags, I usually like to over-pack instead of under-pack, there's nothing worse than not having what you need when you are out and about! I recently received this gorgeous Lily Jade Madeline to review and the photos don't do it justice! This bag absolutely stunning and so well made.. I can tell it is going to last for years to come. 

All Lily Jade diaper bags come with a removable 12 pocket organizer and changing pad! This makes organizing and finding what you need easy and convenient. The four large exterior pockets are perfect for things I'm constantly grabbing! I love having one pocket dedicated to Adrien, one for Zaden, and one for me. The back pocket is used for my phone. In the smaller pocket I keep my tiny Thread wallet with all of my most used cards and some cash!

I love that my Lily Jade can be worn as a shoulder bag, messenger bag, or backpack! My personal favorite carry is the backpack style. Backpacks leave both your hands and arms free when chasing little ones around. I love that I will be able to use this bag throughout the years since it's stylish and cute!

Lily Jade is having their first ever Summer Clearance Sale! Unfortunately, Lily Jade sold out of the Madeline in Jade very quickly but you can score major savings on the Madeline in Red & Silver, Madeline in Navy & Gold, and all of their other bags.

Head in the Clouds Leggings c/o HOTBUNZ || Shirt (old, see Z styling it here) || Freshly Picked City Moccasins

I can't get over Adrien in these photos, they showcase his personality perfectly.. a little cutie on-the-go! It's near impossible to capture a still photo of Adrien since he is such a busybody. When it comes to dressing him on a day-to-day basis, I like to dress him in comfortable clothes. No one likes lounging around in clothing that is tight around the waist! I think we can all agree that leggings are much more comfortable than restricting pants or jeans.

HOTBUNZ designs cute and comfortable baby clothes. Their leggings feature a signature waistband and cuffs that are super soft, stretchy, and leave no elastic marks on tummies or calves. They are so easy to pull on and off which makes diaper changing time more pleasant for the both of us.

The Head in the Clouds leggings are my go-to-pair for everything.I love how easy it is to match and style these leggings, they go with nearly everything in Adrien's wardrobe. Monochrome, clouds, and cute little birds make for a perfect gender neutral everyday print! HOTBUNZ are comfy, practical, and I love that Adrien looks super stylish in them! We are now hooked and I definitely need to get more.
