WINTER WHITE IS TRES CHIC

Rules in fashion are often meant to be broken.  And though we're no Anna Wintour, we can almost guarantee that the Queen of V(ouge) would agree that wearing white into winter is not only acceptable but quintessential!  We're not saying break out the terry cloth coverup or white-linen loungewear but absolutely transform a section of your closet into a Winter Wonderland of cashmere, silk, leather and lace.  After all mamas, who the hell buys clothes to be worn half the year?  We've got college to pay for.  

On that note, here are the Top 5 Whites you should slip into post-Labor Day for a Tres Chic getup.  Trust us, you'll turn major heads at Drop Off!  Speaking of which....Yiiiiipppppppeeeee our kids are back in school!!  (eh hem -- ok back to the fashion :)

INFANT CPR CLASS

There’s nothing scarier than the thought of a baby or child choking. We’ve caught up with CPR expert Tali Fefer at Two Hearts Yoga in Sherman Oaks California for a lesson in how to administer CPR. LET US BE VERY CLEAR: This is NOT a complete class, simply a guide. Please be sure to enroll in a CPR class if you have small children to become CPR certified. It saves lives. Click link below:

STEP UP! FOR MOMS & BABIES

THIS YEAR’S MARCH FOR BABIES WILL BE HELD VIRTUALLY IN THE COMFORT OF OUR OWN HOMES…PLZ VISIT MARCHOFDIMES.ORG FOR HOW YOU CAN GET INVOLVED - THE STORY AS TO WHY WE GOT INVOLVED HERE:

You may know we had two premature babies and needed all the support we could get in those early days. No joke, I had such intense postpartum depression and anxiety that I’d actually dream about getting into an accident that would leave me in the hospital just to get a break from it all. It was an isolating, terrifying time as both kiddos had a rough start. So did Mama. @marchofdimes was an incredible resource for us as a family and continues to be for others in similar situations. This year, we’re so honored to be the Ambassador Family and plan to continue our involvement with the organization as long as they’ll have us. :) Clearly, we’re in the middle of a deeply chaotic time where the American medical system is being tested as never before. So this is a reminder that we need not forget about the moms and babies. They still need access to critical care and resources required for a healthy start. Plz head over to MARCHFORBABIES.ORG to see how you can get involved. THANK YOU. It means the world. .

PARENTS ARE NOT OK

If you read any of the 18 text chains I’m currently part of, you’d see that everyone’s feelin pretty much the same these days — just blehhhhhhh. Even more than Blehhhh — sad, confined, frustrated, overwhelmed. The irony is the days are all the same but our emotions, all over the map.

A girlfriend passed along this quick read and I think it’s worth every parent taking a look at. Just know, you, WE, are not alone. Light at the end of the tunnel, AND most importantly, this too shall pass. Are you ready to puke yet?? But we do need to stay positive amidst the madness FOR US and our kiddos.
