Lincoln will be FIVE months old soon and I’m hoping that milestone will officially signify the end of the four month sleep regression. He was doing so well, sleeping one 7-8 hour stretch and then another several hours and now there are some nights he’s waking 2-4 times. Thank God I can nurse this time around because usually a little “snack” will immediately calm him make him drift off to sleep again (versus having to go downstairs to warm a bottle while he screamed the entire time). Maybe it’s a growth spurt + the regression…either way, I guess I should start buying stock in Starbucks.
On Saturday, Harper and I ran some errands together and went to look at possible accent chairs for our living room. I also took her to Sprinkles for a cupcake because she is basically potty trained! I say basically, because we’re still using pull-ups at night— but she is consistently going on the potty (both 1 & 2) and doesn’t always have to be prompted by us. I finally took the plunge and took her with big girl undies in public and she did awesome and even went potty while we were out and about which she refused to do previously. So proud of my girl! With all of the money we’ll save on diapers, I won’t feel so guilty about my lattes…
Today we went to my friend’s daughter’s first birthday party and Harper had a blast playing outside. We ended our evening with a family walk and the last load of laundry (does it ever end?)
Here’s what I’m loving this past week:

Spending time with family is my favorite thing in the entire world and sometimes the busy/crazy schedules we have as two working parents can be stressful. We’ve made a ton of changes to our morning and evening routines in order to accommodate the needs of every family member and I’ve been working on a post that shares what’s working for us now. Stay tuned…

This sweater is a must-have. It’s so lightweight, comfortable and has cute side slits. It’s also under $30. Mine is a size small— though I read a review online that says it shrinks so hang dry or size up! I hang dry 90% of my clothes anyway, but it’s always good to know in advance that something is prone to shrinking.

We’re lucky to have nice weather in Houston most of the year and it’s a good thing because so many adorable spring dresses are out right now and Harper can actually wear them! We still add a cardigan and leggings since most mornings are still a little cooler and some days it’s really windy, but I’m loving seeing all of the bright colors in stores.

Watch out for a detailed review of Make Up For Ever’s HD Invisible Cover foundation on the blog this week. It’s a winner and I can’t wait to tell you all why!
I hope you all have a fantastic week!
Your family is so beautiful! Your kids look so happy. Great job mama!
Aww thank you for your kind comment! Have a nice evening!
not sure if you’ve talked about this before but a post on cutting our dairy from your diet and the changes you’ve seen would be interesting to read 🙂
I did mention it in the post below but do plan to do an entire post with updates on what I eat, etc: https://www.veronikasblushing.com/2016/02/update-4-months-of-dairy-free-breastfeeding.html
I always love your hair. It looks a little different here though. Maybe straighter? Do you have a new routine?
Thank you! So my hair is actually curled here but I took these photos after running errands all day so it’s a lot looser and kind of wind blown haha 🙂
Super cute post! Can’t wait to read about the foundation review and the update to your routines.
Have a great week! Thanks for commenting 🙂
ugh the 4 month sleep regression!! my little lady was doing so well, too. then bam… up 2-4 times a night as well 🙁 it’s exhausting, but i know it doesn’t last long so that’s what i keep telling myself! my first was a rockstar sleeper! so here’s a starbucks coconut latte cheers to you, mama!
Can’t wait to hear about the foundation post this week. I received a sample last week and I like it much better than the original formula. Can you include if you are still using the philosophy moisturizer or i you changed anything in your skincare routine?
I’m looking forward to your post on making your schedules work and what you do each morning and evening.
My baby girl is 4 and a half months and going through the 4 month sleep regression now too! She’s up 2-3 times a night now, and although she usually falls asleep quickly after nursing on one side, it’s tough since she was previously sleeping so well! How long will this last?! In the meantime, another cup of coffee it is, and maybe some of your great new foundation too!
Love the pom pom buckets! Perfect splash of color without being obnoxious.
Hi! I’d love for you to do a post about your tips for working moms – helpful tips about getting yourself & kiddos ready in the morning, making the most out of your time, things like that.
I have one in the works! One post is focused on our morning/evening routines and another is about simplifying and fast-tracking your beauty routine 🙂
