    Sideline Mom Outfits: What I Wear to Kids’ Games

    Sandra

    There’s a version of Saturday where I’m at two different fields before noon. By the second game I’ve already figured out what actually works — and most of the time the outfit has to be simple and functional. These are my go-to sideline mom outfits: the pieces I reach for when I know I’ll be on my feet, in and out of the car, warm at 8am and fine by…

    Back to School Essentials I Buy Every Year (Mom of Four Edition)

    Sandra

    Four kids, four different ages, four completely different lists. That’s my August. And after doing this a few times, I’ve figured out what’s actually worth buying and what ends up at the bottom of a closet by October. So this is my real list — the back to school essentials I buy every single year, sorted by who they’re for. Some of it is boring. Most of it is under $30. All…

    16 Amazon Fall Finds I’m Actually Wearing This Season

    Sandra

    Fall is the easiest season to dress for, and it’s the one I look forward to all year. A good tee, jeans that fit, a bag that holds everything — that’s most of it. You don’t need much. So I rounded up my Amazon fall finds — the pieces I’m actually reaching for, not the ones that look good in a photo and then live in a drawer. Most are under $50,…

    I’m 40, a Mom of Four, and My Skin Has Changed — Here’s What I Wish I’d Added Sooner

    Sandra

    Somewhere around 40, after four kids, my skin started asking for different things than it did in my 30s. Not worse things. Just different. Drier in places it never used to be. Slower to bounce back. The same products I’d trusted for years just weren’t doing what they used to do. Nobody really warns you about that part. Everyone talks about the pregnancy skin and the postpartum skin, and then…

  • New Year, New Goals: At Home Workout Items

    Sandra

    This year is all about shedding some of the baby weight and getting back into my pre-pregnancy pants, which I’ve really missed.
