In this adoption process, we're in the education p In this adoption process, we're in the education phase and it's teaching us a lot about parenting as a whole. A lot of things I've felt or suspected but are now being confirmed by the experts ha. 

For example, we can think of kids like a bank. They need affection deposits all throughout the day. And then if/when you ask them to do something they don't want to do (aka make a "withdrawal") they need to have a full account or they're going to start to break down. It happens with kids who have experienced trauma but I think it happens with all kids to be honest. 

I've known for a long time that our kids go to bed easier at night when I've been more intentional during the day, but that doesn't mean I make that happen every time. 

I'm thankful that there's so much research that has been done on child development and we're now in a situation where we're required to study it. Personally, I love learning about this stuff!

BUT I recently met Samantha (@samantharaisingwildflowers), a mom of 3 gorgeous girls from Tennessee, and I get to show off SC to her virtually!! Samantha and her family LOVE the outdoors which is perfect because we spend so much of our time exploring outside. SC definitely has the weather for it! 

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be sending Samantha a care package of some of my favorite local SC goodies as well as sharing with her some of our favorite things to do & outdoor activities right here in Greenville so she knows some great spots to hit when she and her family are able to visit #yeahthatgreenville. Stay tuned!

Stitch Fix: How I’m Wearing my Spring Fix

This post is sponsored by Stitch Fix however all opinions are my very own.

I’ll be honest, I love all the seasons, but spring and summer is my ultimate favorite when it comes to dressing up. That’s when I feel like I have the most freedom when it comes to my wardrobe and when I feel the most comfortable in what I’m wearing.

I love shopping for clothes but since I split most of my time between work and being with my babies, and I don’t want to spend any more time on my phone than I need to (and bringing the kids into a dressing room is just asking to get seen naked by the entire store).

That being that case, a few months ago I signed up to try Stitch Fix for the first time! Right off the bat, I was super impressed with the items I received. There was a mix of brands that I already knew and loved and some I had never heard of before. Every item fit PERFECTLY thanks to their thorough styling quiz.

I also loved how easy it was to return the items I chose not to keep in their prepaid envelope. I don’t even need to wait in line at the post office to mail it back. I call that a huge win!

Here, I wanted to show you all what I received in my May Fix and how I’m choosing to style it!

The overalls

While taking photos, Josh told me that this was his favorite piece that came out of this month’s Fix And I totally get it.

These overalls are deep navy blue, they’re soft, and super versatile! Now, being honest, this is not a piece I would have ever picked out myself. That said, I love the way they look and feel on and after having tried them on, I’m definitely considering keeping them.

The peasant top

You got a sneak peak at this top underneath the overalls above. For me, this top of a definite keeper.

The material feels almost like a silky linen. I love the subtle stripes and the ties at the neck. This top is super easy to throw on and go which is why it’s so easy to add to my closet – I don’t always have the extra time to plan out a new outfit!

I also think this top dresses either up or down well, so I see it getting a lot of use.

The backpack

I was so surprised when I pulled out this Dagne Dover backpack! Josh and I actually have this exact backpack in black that I gifted myself for Christmas a couple years ago 🤗.

This backpack is QUALITY. I love the neoprene material because it holds up really well, looks amazing, and keeps everything we need safe and dry. Not to mention this massive color is super pretty and can go with a ton of different outfits. This is a definite keeper

The feather and flow top

While I like the look of this top and love the little details like the eyelets in the front, I don’t usually wear tops that have elastic in the waist.

But that’s the best thing about Stitch Fix! If you don’t feel like something is 100% your style, sending it back is as easy as dropping it off in the post office mailbox. No harm done. Which is such a great deal for me because I’m horrible at making returns because I never have time to get back to the store!

Overall, this top is very cute, just not for me. It’s going to be making its way back to the Stitch Fix fam.

The Tickled in Tassels dress

I loved this dress from the moment I pulled it out of the box. I was so impressed by the details.

The embroidery is real stitching, the rope neckline is really cute, and the tassels at the bottom really make the whole dress.

This dress would look great both with a cardigan or standalone with a pretty heel.

What did you think of my May Fix? What items would you have kept for yourself?

One it the things I love about Stitch Fix is the fact that the price of each monthly fix, $20, gets credited to my account for the clothes I chose to keep. Not only that, but I can refer friends and family to try Stitch Fix and I can get even more credit towards future fixes 🙌 It’s really easy to do and who doesn’t want free clothes??

Sign up here and try your very first Fix the next month! I’d love to hear how your experience is an which items you keep! Anyone who schedules their first Fix through your link will receive a $25 credit

How I Found out I Had a Hormone Imbalance

Hi! I'm Chelsea and we're the Damon's. We spent the last two years in WA state paying off student loans and just bought our first house in SC! I love a smooth black coffee, Josh's first love is the Seattle Sounders. Our kids are huge dorks and constantly make us laugh and we all love spending as much time outside as possible.

  • So I know the title of this post says, “What men want most in a wife,” but to be more realistic, this is about what men need most in a wife. Like men, there are a lot of things that we (women) would really like in a husband. Like, it’d be a huge plus if he looked like Chris Hemsworth. But that’s not really what we need in order to have a positive relationship with our spouse. If we married him, we probably think he’s pretty cute, anyway. Take a look at these 5 things a man really needs in a wife, and if you can think of anything else, share your thoughts in the comments below! 5 Things men want most in a wife
