Mother’s Day is almost here! I’ll save you the Google–it’s Sunday, May 13, 2018. One of my favorite parts of Mother’s Day is brunch [another is doing no diaper changes, a rule I instituted on my very first Mother’s Day]. I can’t help with the diaper changes, but today, I’m sharing one of the best spots for Mother’s Day brunch in Kansas City!

Monochrome Kendra Scott Jewelry Look: Kansas City fashion blogger COVET by tricia showcases a black and white spring transitional spring style featuring Kendra Scott jewelry. Here's how to style a knotted blouse with white pants, peep-toe heels, and gorgeous jewelry from Kendra Scott. The jewelry used in this post is available from Threshing Bee in Overland Park, KS.

Last weekend, Hubby and I had a day date at Prairiefire, one of my favorite destinations in Kansas City. Before kids, I never embraced the day date… but now, it’s much easier to get someone to watch the kids during the day [when the sitter doesn’t have to deal with bedtime]. So, day date it is! And after the movie [that my husband picked!], I pulled him into Threshing Bee, a fun local boutique, to check out some jewelry [that I picked]. Read on to see the fun monochrome Kendra Scott jewelry look I selected!

Never-Ending Winter Fashion [Brown Sweater + Ripped Denim]

No Comments

Brown Sweater and Ripped Denim: We're in the midst of a never-ending winter in Kansas City [ugh, Kansas weather!], so, as a Kansas City fashion blogger, I'm sharing one of my favorite winter fashion looks to get your wardrobe through until spring hits! You can't go wrong with a classic brown v-neck sweater, and the ripped jeans give this outfit a bit of edge. Of course, no mom outfit is complete without a stylish diaper bag!

So I feel a little weird posting about a sweater, jeans, and boots in April. But we have a never-ending winter going on here on Kansas City, so I’m sharing some never-ending winter fashion. I really, really, REALLY hope the weather warms up soon…. until then, enjoy this brown sweater and ripped denim look. And some hot chocolate. And some fires in the fireplace. Can you tell I’m trying really hard to make the best of this never-ending cold?

I’m Not a Super Mom and I Don’t Care

2 Comments

A few days/weeks/months ago [who knows, because I’m terrible at keeping track of time], I published a post called Day in the Life of a Stay-at-Home Mom of 2. Since then, it’s been my most-viewed post. It’s made the rounds on social media, and I’ve received feedback–publicly and privately–basically saying that I don’t measure up as a mom. That I don’t clean enough. I don’t cook enough. I don’t whatever enough. Well, I’m not a super mom… and I don’t care.
