My name is Morgan, wife to Jesse and mama to Ever Joy. We live in a tiny 500 sq ft house by the sea in sunny Southern California, and hope to be a flicker of light in our dark world. Here you'll find a little bit of motherhood, fashion, and fitness, but mostly our many adventures together.

how many times do you change your kids' clothes per day? correction: how many times per day does your kid take off their clothes and refuse to put them back on so you have to change them into something else? we're currently on our 3rd outfit πŸ™„ she's become verryyyy particular with her clothes ("too tight!" "don't like it!") so I can't just dress her in anything I want anymore πŸ˜‚/😭#everinherroom

hi πŸ‘‹πŸΌ I don't think I've ever actually introduced myself.
I'm the maker of that cute little Ever Joy β€” my greatest accomplishment. I'm also a barre instructor (@merakibarre), and own a little childrenswear shop @shoplilylily.
I consider myself an outgoing introvert, and am deeply emotional. I'm 25 years old, was born and raised in Utah, majored in dance in college, then dropped out to go to bible college in California where I met my husband πŸ‘¨πŸ» I'm obsessed with jumpsuits, lattes, and tv shows, and I am what I am by the grace of God πŸ’› nice to meet you πŸ€—
ps. I just posted all about this outfit on my blog!
zero potty accidents today πŸ™ŒπŸΌ today started out pretty rough and I thought I was gonna lose it, but with an early (and long) naptime we got back on the right foot and all was well πŸ€— 
so let's talk potty training. we did the 5 day method. just kidding, that's not a thing. we TRIED to do the 3 day method (google it) but here's why it didn't work for us:
1. we don't have a washer and dryer so I couldn't risk her having accidents at night and having to pay to wash a million sheets and undies and pajamas. 
2. she loves her big girl undies and wants to wear them all the time πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ
3. I just couldn't stay home for 3 days straight. we had to get out of the house. maybe if we lived somewhere bigger than 500 square feet I could'a done it πŸ™ˆ
4. I just kinda suck at committing to things πŸ’πŸΌ
so I wouldn't say she's 100% potty trained, but she tells me she has to poop about 73 times per day (even if she just has to potty πŸ˜‚) and about 90% of the time she just sits on the toilet and nothing happens. I put her in a pull-up for naps and night time and when we go out in public. and even when we're in public she tells me when she has to go to the bathroom πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ the process may have been even more frustrating than weaning but I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm just so freaking happy I never have to change another poopy diaper. well, until the next kid 😏 how did/do you plan to potty train?
#pottytraining #candidchildhood #honestmotherhood #childhoodunplugged
her idea of playing soccer: running and saying "i got it, i got it!", then grabbing the ball and sitting on it πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ #ad
did you know toddlers need 3 hours of physical activity per day? when I read that I was shocked and like 'oh crap, it's hard enough coming up with regular activities.' these @SASSshoemakers shoes allow me to keep up with this crazy active lady all while staying super duper comfortable πŸ‘πŸΌ use code MORGAN5 for $5 off their website until 2.17.18! thank you for my complimentary shoes @SASShoemakers!

Palm Springs | a vacation

August 19, 2017

We are the biggest procrastinators when it comes to pretty much everything. I think it's because we don't like to commit until last minute. Jesse took the weekend off for our anniversary and it snuck up way too fast and we hadn't planned anything. And while searching for hotels, everything was way too expensive. So, we figured it would be better to go mid-week, on our actual anniversary. We committed, paid for a hotel, and it worked out perfectly! 

 

My favorite hotel to stay at in Palm Springs is the Avalon. Although we didn't have the best experience the last time we stayed there (see the post here).

It's still my favorite hotel, however, and this experience was much better.  

Traveling with Evvie right now is really hard. Because she's going through her little tantrum phase and also her very independent phase. So exploring like we used to just isn't really an option. Which kind of sucks but we're learning to adapt quickly as things change and just accept it.  

We tried to go out to dinner on Wednesday night, and Ever was already in the worst mood, so just waiting to order was a nightmare and we realized we weren't going to have a good time. So we left haha. I cried in the car on the way back to the hotel because it seemed like other kids her age were able to calmly sit in their high chair, but then our valet told us that he and his wife didn't go out to restaurants for the first 4 years of their twins lives because it just wasn't possible. And that made me feel better. 

Sometimes it's difficult to deal with an over active toddler, and a little disheartening when you see kids the same age sitting calmly across the room, but that's what makes Ever Ever and I wouldn't change one thing about her.  

Also pool time was not the funnest/most relaxing experience either because Ever thinks she can swim and tries to wiggle out of my arms. So I made sure to buy a puddle jumper on Amazon on the drive home πŸ™ˆ

Overall, we had a good time. Even though it can get stressful, it's always nice to getaway just the 3 of us. I love my little family.  

Enjoy the pictures! Our suits are linked at the bottom of the post.

when Ever woke up this morning the first thing she asked for was the cookies that we promised last night that we would make today πŸ˜… so we made a huge mess of the kitchen making sugar cookies and then Jesse decided to take 3 hours and make a knock off @milkbarstore cake. and I got dressed because we thought we’d go on a walk before Jesse had to work but then the cake took 3 hours so I self-timered an outfit photo and changed right back into my comfy clothes πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I have to get β€œready” every morning before I can do anything productive, but β€œready” is really just changing out of my pajamas into something equally as comfy that can pass for clothing πŸ™Š
but also our doula is on her way over to go over my birth plan and some birth exercises and now things are starting to feel really real πŸ˜†
okay longest boring caption ever, bye.
