The Playsuit: My Favourite Mom Mode Attire

November 30, 2017 By Kari 2 Comments

playsuit-1My wardrobe has totally evolved since I became a mom. Those leather-look pencil skirts and sky high-heels only come out to play once in a while now. It’s funny: even though I’ve lost most of the weight from my pregnancy, my old stuff still doesn’t fit because my body is totally different. Things have shifted all over the place! Know what I mean, mamas? Needless to say, it’s been a journey to create those looks that I can still parent in, but that are stylish (…and don’t look like I’ve thrown in the proverbial fashion towel!).

One piece I love, love, love to have in my wardrobe right now is a playsuit (minds out of the gutter, please). Otherwise know as a jumpsuit, or as I like to call it, “an adult onesie,” this piece is a must-have in any mom’s collection. I love playsuits so much because #1: they’re so comfortable, #2: they’re easy to build forts in, #3: they pair with a bomber jacket and a pair of great kicks-perfect for playdates or shopping with your kiddo, #4: you can add heels and some statement jewelry, dust off the clutch, and you’re all set for date night or drinks with friends. Honestly, as long as I wipe off the mashed avocado from earlier in the day, I could wear this piece from morning until night.

This playsuit from Paper Label is by far my favourite because it has deep pockets and is under $80 (about half the price of most playsuits).

Tik Tok Trend ⤵️ You've heard of 'Girl Math' Tik Tok Trend ⤵️

You've heard of 'Girl Math' but this is Mom Math. This all make sense to you, moms? Sure does to me. 🙃

😭 I'm having a hard time with this one.  I kn 😭 I'm having a hard time with this one. 

I know - bust out the 🎻 - but seriously. I've had some good cries this week as we start to pack up and get rid of some of our baby stuff. Most of it we've had since Wyatt came on the scene.

It hurts to know this baby-making chapter is closing and the last jump in the jolly jumper is over and I'll never be pregnant again.😭😭 Of course, I'm excited for everything ahead but this is hard on the heart. Been here? You feel this?

Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 ... but seriously? 

Actually listened to the lyrics while Miss. Rachel was on.🙈 Side note- i love her.

 What else needs changing? ⬇️

Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️ You kno Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

this video ⬆️ is from @fairmontjpl's Lac Beauvert. On every summer visit, Wyatt and I have a tradition of renting a kayak from The Boathouse and cruising the lake.
