Favourite summer outfit unlocked 😍 This outfit Favourite summer outfit unlocked 😍

This outfit isn’t fancy. It isn’t even new (except the linen top - she’s the moment 👏) but it just pulled my summer style (and confidence) together.  Slowly finding pieces that make me feel put-together enough to chase toddlers and run errands without hating my reflection.

And yes, the Birks have seen it all. 😅

If you’re a fellow mum slowly finding your way back to yourself (and your style), I’m right there with you.

Follow along for more easy style, relatable mum life, and little wins that help us feel human again 🫶🏻

Motherhood doesn’t look like I imagined - but maybe that’s okay. Especially when there’s coffee, cuddles, and the occasional nap in it ☕️💤🙏

If you’re wondering what that is, it’s “Fake Tan Friday” and yes I made it up. 

I live for these child-free mornings to myself. It’s so nice to have that time (and quiet) to chill for a bit.  I managed to get some jobs done, including clear out the car (you’re welcome, husband 😘). Also yes those are dozens of sick bags. Having a kid that gets car sick is great 🫠

Now, do you think the other parents will notice my rookie self-tan at pickup later…
