Please tell me I’m not the only one who has mornings that go like this…
5:15 am alarm… (groan)… snooze… snooze… snooze…
5:30 am, oops… (more groans)… wake up and see cute baby in bed… realize you made that decision at 3 am when cute baby would not stop crying, oops… also realize your daughter will be sleeping in your bed until she’s 18 if you don’t do something soon… silently vow to yourself that tonight you’ll let her cry it out…but for now, snuggle her and hit snooze again… and again…
5:48 am… sleep too late (curse words)… move babe to pack n play… run for shower… lather, rinse, towel dry… run for bedroom
Commence the what to wear game … stare at closet (groans)… stare more (curse words)… realize baby is getting antsy… dance around in frumpy mom underwear and make monkey noises to keep baby entertained… keep staring at closet… silently curse at yourself for not getting back to gym… make more monkey noises for giggling babe…more staring at closet… settle for boring black turtleneck and gray pants… groan at lame-o wardrobe … make more monkey noises
Run downstairs with baby on hip while making coffee, packing bottle bag, putting on make-up and making monkey noises…
Silently vow that you’ll either buy new clothes or lose weight to fit into pre-baby clothes
Run out door and let the day begin…

If only there was a personal shopper who could send you stylish, affordable clothes each month… oh wait, there is!! Hello Stitch Fix!!
For those of you not familiar, here’s how this fabulous little idea works:
Go to stitchfix.com and create your style profile (there’s currently a waitlist, but it’s not long at all). Pick a package arrival date and wait for your little box of fashion happiness to arrive on your front porch. You’ll receive 5 pieces hand-picked by your stylist. If you like them, keep em. If you don’t, send them all back! Easy peasy.
- There’s a $20 styling fee, which can be used toward your order.
- If you keep all 5 items you receive 25% off your order.
- The more feedback you give on the pieces sent to you, the better they get over time. So be sure to be very specific to your stylists so that they can send you things you’ll love.
I couldn’t resist this awesome little concept anymore and put in an order for August. Here’s what I got!
All the clothes didn’t work out (I clearly forgot to tell my stylist that I don’t get along with skinny jeans) but it was definitely a good experience! And it’s perfect for busy moms with no time to shop.
So for those of you dancing around in your frumpy mom underwear while making monkey noises while cursing at your lack of clothing options, go to stitchfix.com today (tell them I sent you) and let the fun begin!

Cute clothes! That is a brilliant idea for moms! You are amazing – that is a tough morning schedule you have there, lady. And I think it is awesome you bring Makenzie into bed with you. Sam slept off and on with us quite a bit his first year – and now he’s only 2 but won’t climb into bed with us to sleep 🙁 Enjoy those snuggles!!

Don’t worry about Makenzie sleeping with you – Sam slept with us off and on for his first year and now at only 2 he never climbs into bed to sleep and snuggle 🙁 Enjoy it! (As long as you’re able to sleep, that is!!!)
