Maternity Clothes: Dressing the Bump on a Budget

February 4, 2019February 2, 2019 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 2 Comments

I have always been someone that tries to only buy something if I know it will be a versatile piece that I will have for several seasons/years. So when it came to finally buying maternity clothes I really struggled to convince myself to buy something that I would only be wearing for a few months. … Continue reading Maternity Clothes: Dressing the Bump on a Budget

Dresses for Everyday

March 7, 2018March 6, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 8 Comments

Given the choice I think I would probably wear a dress most days, especially during the week. They are just so much easier to throw on and usually more comfortable. It would definitely make getting ready for work a lot easier. So why don't I wear a dress every day? It is hard to find … Continue reading Dresses for Everyday

Spring Capsule Wardrobe

March 1, 2018October 25, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 7 Comments

Happy First Day of March! Depending on wear you live it may seem a bit early to start thinking about Spring clothes but once March rolls around I am ready for it to warm up a little and break out some of my favorite Spring pieces. So with 3 weeks left until Spring officially starts … Continue reading Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Dressing For You

February 26, 2018February 25, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 6 Comments

For 7 years I wore a school uniform. Of course we had the occasional "dress down" day and I wore regular clothes on the weekends, but after graduating from the uniform it took me a while to really figure out my own personal style. Honestly it wasn't until the past year that I really started … Continue reading Dressing For You

Wardrobe Basic: Layering Turtleneck

February 21, 2018January 17, 2019 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 7 Comments

If you were to look inside my closet you would probably notice that it is most filled with neutrals, basic pieces and lots of stripes. I used to think that basic pieces meant boring and that in order to wear something fun it needed to be new, trendy or bold. But lets be honest, that … Continue reading Wardrobe Basic: Layering Turtleneck

Black & White

February 15, 2018February 19, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 5 Comments

This year I am trying to keep my style and purchases simple and straightforward. While I normally don't jump on trends or fast fashion I don't always stick to what is practical. This is partially why I created the Seasonal Capsule Wardrobe Series, because I want to make sure that I am really utilizing what … Continue reading Black & White

Pretty in Pink

February 6, 2018February 5, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 13 Comments

I am so not a pink person. In fact, until recently you could not find a single pink item in my wardrobe. It is still a shock to me that I chose to wear a pink dress to my senior prom. Never the less, I have been loving light pink lately and it all started … Continue reading Pretty in Pink

Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Leather Leggings 3 Ways

January 30, 2018February 15, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 4 Comments

I wasn't going to include the faux leather leggings in the Winter capsule wardrobe because I know they aren't considered a basic or staple piece but after seeing how versatile they are I wanted to include them as a fun alternative. Whether dressed up or down they are such a fun piece to wear. So … Continue reading Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Leather Leggings 3 Ways

Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Layered Looks

January 23, 2018January 25, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 9 Comments

Every winter I end up feeling like I wear the same outfit over and over attempting to bundle up and keep warm. This year I have been trying my best to layer different pieces in new ways so I don't get bored with the same outfit every week. When I created the Winter Capsule I wanted … Continue reading Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Layered Looks

Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Little Black Dress

January 16, 2018January 15, 2018 ~ taylorrcannon ~ 4 Comments

Today I am sharing the first look at styling a few pieces from this winter's capsule wardrobe. A simple black dress is absolutely a wardrobe staple in my opinion. My favorite black dress is sleeveless which allows me to wear it all year long, I just have to be a bit more creative in the … Continue reading Winter Capsule Wardrobe: Little Black Dress

This time last year I waddled around as we picked out our tree. Growing in discomfort (& circumference) I couldn’t wait to meet our sweet baby. Taking Jack to pick out a Christmas tree this year was a “pinch me” moment. For so many years I tried to picture what it would be like to share my favorite holiday traditions with littles. It’s better than I ever imagined. Although he doesn’t understand a lot of what’s happening, watching him experience the magic of this season is incredible. So thankful for my sweet little family and to be able to share this time of year with Jack.
So much to be thankful for today, and everyday, but what first comes to mind is being this sweet little boy’s mom. Motherhood has been the biggest challenge and greatest blessing. I’m thankful for everything from the cute smiles & infectious giggles to the sleepless nights & fussy days. Every minute has been an adventure that I couldn’t love more. Watching Andrew become a dad and seeing our families embrace Jack is truly heartwarming. I love this crazy, colorful and loving family of mine ♥️ Happy Thanksgiving
Heading home today to be with our families for Thanksgiving. This is my favorite time of year and I am so excited to share it with Jack ♥️ I can’t wait to include him in family traditions and start new traditions as a family of three.
I knew motherhood would come with many challenges. I tried to prepare for them as best as I could. Andrew & I discussed everything from the roles we would play to the possibility of post-partum depression. One thing I wasn’t prepared to struggle with was losing my sense of self. I knew it happened, but I just didn’t think I would struggle, mostly because being a mom was what I wanted most in this world. I felt like that was my biggest goal and who I was meant to be. I still feel that way, but being “mom” 24/7 has started to wear me down. I think it’s mostly because I stay home with Jack (which I’m so thankful I get to do), but mom is the only role I have right now. I have such a difficult time doing things for myself. I can count on one hand the number of waking hours I have spent away from Jack. I know I would be a better mom if I took a bit more time for self-care but the guilt is still there... So moms, what do you do? How do you balance being a mom & still an individual? Because while “mom” is the greatest and most rewarding role I’ve ever had I know I still need to be my own person.
