over a long weekend!

…my babes love to carry photos of each other when they’re apart. it’s the sweetest thing! last friday was penguin day for maddalena at school, and rocco was, naturally, a good little monkey…

…and always very curious!

…saturday morning swing snuggles… while i snuggled my coffee, of course…

…a little morning moment captured by maddalena! and i’m totally photobombing her shot of baby luca, everyone’s newest favorite subject. 🙂 we’d already depantsed due to spitup overload, but you know? these baby days are sweet and irreplaceable and forever and ever my absolute favorite.

…bathtime bunny! that tiny little balled up fist just gets me.

…after a spontaneous farmhome sleepover, we woke up to…

…SNOW!! but faux snow, i say, because it melted quickly and didn’t get us out of school. haha. and! the christmas mugs at the farm are the biggest ones, so they remain!!

…those sweet little things were too excited to get all bundled up for the snow. luckily our back yard still had some by late afternoon.

…aaand back to 50s by return of the school week! also this warm, chunky sweater… you know how i feel about it! i wear it almost every single day. especially on cold mornings! it sells out over and over again, BUT i think i just snagged it in the oat color!!! it’s barely in stock right now in this rose color and some others, so HURRY I’M TELLING YOU!!

…melt me with my very favorite view. and gosh, i love my little stack of baby name rings more with every name added.

…end of the day sweetness. every time they fall asleep i can’t help but be a little sad that another day together has come to a close.

♡♡♡

oh, january! sometimes it feels like we’re just surviving the chill, waiting for spring to come around. then again… it’s really not hard to find the magic in these cozy days with my favorite faces. i’m truly savoring the slowest, tiniest moments. time is fleeting. time is a thief! so, it’s okay if it’s gray or chilly or dark, actually. i’ve got my little loves [and big sweater!] to keep me warm.

ps. if you’re a mom of littles and you want to feel actual pain, emanating from your heart and your hormones to your muscles and bones, read this beautiful little essay my friend sarah shared recently! it’s so real and so good, i’m never reading it again. just bribing my children to stay with me always! but also, read it. and cry. just a little, k?
