What I Wore: Fall sweater weather on TheMombot.com

Fall sweater weather (WIWW)

October 7, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Fall has officially arrived! Not only is it fall according to the calendar, but our temps have finally dropped and we’ve been having rain and chilly nights. I didn’t think I was ready for the cooler weather, but oh man, I am loving it. Sunday was one of our rainy, cold days, so I got…

Lace shorts for fall transition (WIWW)

September 23, 2015 | 1 Comment

It’s been a long time since I posted fashion photos. Contrary to what you may believe, I have still been getting dressed. And I do still love me some shopping and putting together outfits. But ever since we moved to a new place back in April, I realized I haven’t taken the time to snap…

Jumpsuits for spring

April 15, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Jumpsuits are mah jam. I mean, how much easier can it be to get dressed when your shirt and pants are already connected?? With spring on the way, I’ve already purchased two jumpsuits and don’t plan on stopping. I’m a fan of pants or floods and tend to feel weird in rompers (with shorts), but…

{ note: I wanted to post this earlier this week, but my internet provider decided to turn off my internet on Wednesday… hooray! So here I sit at a coffee shop the day before Easter and I realize that it may be a little late to shop for Easter dresses, but shoot – it’s never…

Maxi Dress & Denim [What I Wore]

March 18, 2015 | 4 Comments

In two more days it will officially be spring. Hallelujah! We are already reaping the benefits here in Colorado; this weekend saw temps up to 77, and it. was. glorious. I can’t tell you how good it felt to have the sun on my skin again! And I broke out the dresses even though my…

What I Wore Wednesday

March 11, 2015 | 1 Comment

It’s funny when you take pictures of yourself a few times during the week and look back at what you wore; you start to notice patterns and get a sense of what it is you really like. Me – for example – it seems I like boots and drapey cardigans. I wear jeans a lot…

Midi skirts inspiration (winter-spring trend) on TheMombot.com

Midi Skirts {transitional spring trend}

March 4, 2015 | Leave a Comment

I can’t help myself; I am utterly and completely obsessed with midi skirts. I recall having a similar obsession last year, but I never really took the plunge and embraced it. This year, however, I am madly pinning inspiration pics and scouring websites because I can’t get this trend out of my head. I mean,…

Showing some ankle {What I Wore}

February 25, 2015 | 1 Comment

The weather’s been a bit wonky lately; it will be nice and warm (in the 50s & 60s, and sometimes even hit 70!) and then it will drop back down to the 20s and start snowing. Aside from making the outdoors a constant merry-go-round of ice and mud, the schizophrenic weather is really messing with my…

Fringe boots & a fancy sweatshirt {WIWW}

February 11, 2015 | 3 Comments

It’s my first What I Wore Wednesday in many, many months and it feels so good! It’s too cold in the winter in Colorado to take pictures outside (obviously), and my house has terrible lighting inside, so I just stopped taking pictures altogether at the end of November. Plus I am super lazy, so there’s…

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
