It's all lined up

 We got our line up for the season! 

It took me about a month to get my colors together, shop my closet, and I'm still finalizing shopping my new items- I am on a budget! There are also some switches I plan on doing when new items come in, or am considering but just can't decide. 



The asterisk means I need to still purchase or go over (pick one or the other/eliminate completely?)! I have blue shirt x2 because I already have a light blue crew neck tee shirt in the mix and I'd like to add a navy blue v-neck tee shirt. I also have a crewneck sweatshirt that only works for the Halloween/Fall season, so I'll be switching that out for a winter sweater once that season is over! 
I also may or may not have signed up for a monthly mommy and me tee shirt subscription 😆 I COULDN'T HELP IT!! 
My plan is to only accept it if the colors work for my capsule, and that I will get 2-3 and then cancel it until the next capsule. 
Okay question- do I NEED a navy v neck if I already have a light blue tee? Like, is it really necessary? Here's the thing, I'm working towards minimal! But I am not sure if I can truly live off of like 2 tee shirts and 4 long sleeves. The rest are basically extra layers! Tell me I don't need it... 
Okay but wait, the reason behind it is that True Summers tend to do better with less contrast in their outfits, so I wanted a navy shirt to go with my dark wash jeans, brown leggings, and navy pants! So maybe...I should discard my light blue shirt? 

You guys- why am I having such a hard time this time around!?

Chronicling the following: Unicorn Space, 75 Holistic, and being a new mom to two

 I feel like it's easy to create goals, but a lot harder to stick to them! You get caught up in the daily grind or something *happens* and you never get back into it (whatever IT may be).  I had a baby almost 3 months ago and I also have a 3 year old, so life is a little hectic and crazy. I also lost my dad about a year and a half ago and that was a huge mental load in many ways. Even though my baby is still young, I want to really start reaching the goals that I set for myself in order to 1. set a good example for my family, 2. be the best mama I can be (and I can only do that if I am participating in some self-care and making time for myself) and 3. well I mean who doesn't like accomplishing things? 4. be set up for success once life gets "easier"  To start, I am going to add journaling to my unicorn space goals. I want to do more than that, but I think it's a good way to get my creative juice flowing and I can figure out what I would like to do next. Ideas incl...

I think I might blog about it

I am feeling bloggy today! I'm about ready to fire up the instagram (and dare I say start up my tiktok?) again and in about a month I'll be making the switch to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe. But here's the thing...I'm having SO much fun in my current spring/summer one! I'm pretty sure I am going to combine them for a somewhat larger than average, but longer lasting, capsule. A lot of people switch theirs every season. I tend to switch it up every 6 months. Now it may be more of a "this is my wardrobe forever and everytime I buy something new I get rid of something with holes or stains" wardrobe.  Anyway- My incredibly loose formula for building a capsule is as follows:  Figure out my color scheme! I did a brown base for my last fall/winter and navy base for my spring/summer. I think that this time around I will do a navy base for my fall/winter, but keep in some of the brown as a secondary color. I also always have a cool off-white as my second base col...

Britton Bigfoot Basecamp

 FUN NEWS!  We bought a pop up camper!  And we named her the Britton Bigfoot Basecamp. Eliza is currently obsessed with Bigfoot so it felt right. We did ask ChatGPT for some name suggestions, but Alex and I came up with this on our own! I told ChatGPT that we are a family of 4 with two young girls looking for a name for our new pop up camper. We love music and the outdoors, and our 3 year old loves Bigfoot! Some of my fave Chat suggestions were Pop goes the Brittons, Popped and Rocked, In Tune and In Tents, Off Key and Off Road, but Alex wasn't thrilled with them. Luckily, some of the Chat's suggestions inspired us to where we ended up!  We are going to chronicle our renovation of the pop up, which is luckily in amazing condition. We also want to try not to spend an exorbitant amount of money, so I think I'll also share what we are spending along the way.  First up is cleaning! I have spent about $40 on a cleaner that gets rid of mildew, a mop for cleaning the c...
