Making a SAHM Wardrobe

August 8, 2019

Before I begin let me be real honest, I would usually wear joggers and a dirty oversized t-shirt every day unless I am going out. If I had to leave my house, I would put on a clean decent outfit but as soon as I got home it was straight back to joggers and a T-shirt. With that said I have been thinking a lot about self-care and how I really need to improve in this area. One way I am going to try to improve on my self-care is actually getting dressed for the day even if I don’t go out. I know this is a pretty adulting thing for me to do. So I am creating a stay at home mom wardrobe.

I decided to improve on my self-care and to ditch the frumpy dirty baggy clothes for a couple of reasons:

  • If I get better dressed for the day, I notice that I feel more ready and motivated to tackle the day’s tasks.
  • I want to set an example of self-worth to my children. I am a daughter of God and I should present myself as one! 
  • It shows good stewardship of the body God has given me.
  • Simply, I want to feel better about myself and pretty.  

Being a stay-at-home mom is part of my vocation. I would not dress the way I do to a job if I worked. However, that doesn’t mean I am going to start wearing heels and fancy blouses all day either, it’s not the 50’s anymore. BTW: how did women back then look so beautiful, dinner on the table by 5 pm, with 5+ kids also well mannered and dressed?! My outfits MUST be practical, breastfeeding-friendly, comfortable, and easy to pick out. This is why I am a huge advocate for minimalist capsule wardrobes. 

HERE IS A GREAT SITE THAT EXPLAINS WHAT AND HOW TO CREATE A CAPSULE WARDROBE

Having a minimalist capsule wardrobe has been a total life changer for me. It has helped eliminate the stress of figuring out what to wear and be more intentional with the clothing I buy. Thankfully I have already been building my capsule wardrobe and it’s almost complete. 

Here are some samples of my fashion vision board (is it weird that I have one?):

A little interesting fact about my fashion – For about 10 years, I use to only wear skirts and just started wearing pants a bit more within the past 2 years. 

Another thing I am adding to my daily look is a little bit of makeup. I won’t be putting on my full face but my top three musts are eyebrows, eyeliner, and a bit of contour.

Here is a picture of how I would look on a normal day (possibly the same shirt and pants two days in a row) and a picture of how I adulting now.

Now:

Now I feel I can comfortably and confidently tackle homeschooling and keep the tiny humans alive!

Do you have a stay at home wardrobe/ uniform? Is this something that you would be interested in? Stay tuned to hear more about my capsule wardrobe and how I organize my husband and my closet.

    This is something I recently started working on. I’ve been a wife for 10 years and a mother for 9 years. I definitely don’t have time like I did before but I do need to finalize a system to help myself feel really for the day. My children and husband always have what they need but I am guilty of not buying clothes for myself like I should. Being showered ,dress and praying really does make the day and myself feel so much better!

Pax Leviticus was baptized yesterday, February 13th 2021. 
I was so nervous that it might have been canceled due to the weather but thanks be to God that we were able to still have it done.

I am so excited for @blessedisshe__ ‘s Set A Fir I am so excited for @blessedisshe__ ‘s Set A Fire Lenten devotional this year! I even got the Set A Fire Kids. I am super stocked about these books and just had to share. 

Since I am in the postpartum season of motherhood and I am still trying to get back on track with our daily routine I am not planning a whole lot this Lent.

I can post soon in more detail about what we will be doing (maybe in stories🤔) if you’re interested.

Now that we are a little over half way through the Now that we are a little over half way through the school year and baby Pax is here, I recently did a homeschool pulse check. Sometimes I get an overwhelming feeling of “We’re behind!!” or “I’m failing because we barely get to X,Y,Z). Reminding myself of all the things we have done help me realize how much we have accomplished. This year has not been perfect but what is.

We just added this table since we’ve been doing a lot of our studies in the living room. So far it’s been nice to be able to comfortably do any schoolwork that requires writing and/ or workbooks.

I have been feeling more motivated and full of ene I have been feeling more motivated and full of energy since having Pax. Yesterday was my 31st birthday and instead of making New Year resolutions, I guess you can say I'm making birthday resolutions. I have a ton of projects planned for the home, we're finally getting back to a full schedule in our homeschool, and I am trying to be better organized.

Last month, I made these monthly calendar pages for 2021 that include holidays, holy days of obligations, and Marian feast days that I keep up in my kitchen. I am not the best at keeping track of important dates but this calendar will definitely be a huge help. For those interested, my 2021 calendar pages are listed on my Etsy shop and since it's my birthday month, everything is 31% off with the code YAY31

Has anyone made new years resolutions this year? What about birthday resolutions?

Roman is TWO years old today! It seems like yeste Roman is TWO years old today! 
It seems like yesterday that he was only the size of Pax. Now he is this rambunctious little boy. We love him so much and can’t wait to see how he grows this year (maybe not so much the tantrums😜). 

Saint Titus pray for us 🖤

Pax Leviticus is already 8 weeks old! I wish that Pax Leviticus is already 8 weeks old! 
I wish that could stay this little 🖤 It’s so saddening that this is such a quick, short time. The saying “the days are long but the years are short” is too true.
