Ever since I became a mom, I've increasingly become a creature of comfort. When it comes to my personal style, I've definitely crossed over to the minimalist side, and I'm not in the least bit ashamed to admit it. I've fallen in love with chic, timeless, structured pieces that I can put on repeat without so much as a tiny guilt trip. And black, lots of black, as per ush.  Call it practicality, call it a shift in attitude and taste. Call me a repeat outfit offender if you wish -- I'll proudly wear it like a badge!

Is the "mom uniform" a thing? As a personal style blogger for the past several years now, I know it's become a bit of a "responsibility to dress it up and play with my options, but as a mompreneur and creative trying to balance playtime and working on my deadlines, I find myself circling back to some old faithfuls and predictable combinations when it comes what I wear to the day-to-day-grind. Some days I like go the extra mile and pull all the stops (particularly during events season!), but most of the time when I'm just running to Kroger/Meijer or taking my child to the pedia, I just can't be bothered.

To all moms out there, what's your go-to "mom uniform" preferences?

HYAAAY it's 2016 already! Are we doing good on our resolutions, or nah? Hope the new year has been treating you all great so far! 

Aside from my own personal, hopefully more attainable resolutions for this year, I also resolve to invest and never overlook the one thing that really matters: the overall health of me and my two boys. We already know the annual examinations that we regularly take - visits to our OBGYN, our dentist, our PCP -- but did you guys know how important it is to schedule an annual eye exam (even if your vision is crystal clear)?
