What else can I say besides life is beautiful and

What else can I say besides life is beautiful and hard and energizing and exhausting and hopeful and frustrating these days. Up and down, up and down with the changes in Nez’s personality, the personal wins and losses, the good things coming and the chaos that comes along with it. Hang in there, friends. We’re on to something here, I just know it...

As someone that has worked in fashion my entire ca

As someone that has worked in fashion my entire career, you might be surprised to learn that I’m not a big shopper... I believe in buying fewer, better quality things that will last and can be mixed and matched. That’s why I’m over the moon to be partnering with one of my longtime favorite brands, @jennikayne. I genuinely wear everything I own from them constantly and carried them in the shop I believe in the collection so much (they make my absolute favorite sweaters, exhibit A). You can now use my code WHITNEY15 to score 15% off your purchase online & in stores!

PS I’m not interested in sharing stuff I don’t actually use or love. But trust me when I say that I deeply love my Jenni Kayne pieces. #jennikayne #jennikaynepartner

That feeling when you remember it’s a long weeke

That feeling when you remember it’s a long weekend... 💃🏼

We’re officially in the terrible twos. Or maybe

We’re officially in the terrible twos. Or maybe it’s not so terrible but still, very trying. Nez is asserting her independence and testing us constantly, whether that’s rejecting meals, fighting us on diaper changes, or generally going along with our requests to do anything at all. I’m currently reading @tinapaynebryson’s No-Drama Disciple and learning a lot, most importantly, not to meet Inez’s frustration with frustration, but instead, patience and understanding. Easier said than done sometimes. A few things I’ve found help navigate this phase: offering her choices throughout the day to help her feel empowered (these PJs or these ones?), getting her out into the world as much as possible (we’ve been heading to a secret little Malibu beach almost every weekend), and being really engaged with her when we spend time with her (vs looking at our phones). Also, cut yourself some slack. It’s a freaking pandemic. We feel it, the kids feel it. It sucks. We are all doing our best!!!!

This weekend we unplugged. We drove out to Malibu

This weekend we unplugged. We drove out to Malibu to put our feet in the ocean and as we drove, Tommy and I talked about how sometimes we feel like our whole lives are taking place behind a screen and we don’t do enough that’s engaged with the world and nature. We talked about how social media can be an incredible form of connection and inspiration, but can also lead to so much self doubt, comparison, and distraction. I said that there are people I follow along with that make me feel pangs of jealousy and self doubt. Then he asked me a question I’d never thought of...He asked if I thought anyone looked at my Instagram and felt those same feelings? I’ve been thinking about that a lot. Honestly, at times I want to delete the app altogether. But I feel a real push/pull because I love this community, love sharing with you, love getting feedback and advice from you. So our solution is that we’re making an effort to be more present with each other and most importantly, with Inez. Ironic that I’m posting all this, I know. There’s no tidy bow to wrap this up. That’s all I’ve got.
