First day as parents with both kids in the same school during the same times! 👏🏼 (Lucy ‘s first day at Emma’s school is today!) Such a monumental day for our family; we’ve been crossing our fingers for this situation for ages! The girls are so happy to be together, and I’ll admit that Mitch and I are pretty happy to have more together time, too. 😆

Upon dropping the girls off, I’ll admit that we just kind of looked at each other in shock, haha. But then we took Noods on a long stroll—without a stroller—through the park, zoo and lakefront area. We weren’t rushed or frantic or worried that we’d miss a pickup; we just enjoyed the outdoors, sunshine, warmth and blooming trees. Spring is a time of rebirth and new beginnings, and this is definitely a new beginning for us.

I wore Basin + Range, which is a Backcountry brand built for off-mountain life. The pieces are made to help you comfortable move through the everyday—from drop-offs and pick-ups to dog walks and lakefront strolls. In anticipation of our upcoming lifestyle change, I chose this cotton sweater tank, this oversized cardigan, and these high-waisted skinny jeans. And I need to tell you that I was so happy all day.

My friend Carly and I always say that as moms, we seem to be happiest in jeans and sweaters these days. We have a lot going on in our lives, and have zero patience for clothing that isn’t comfy. Over the last couple of years, I’ve worked to re-home clothing that I don’t find myself wanting to wear! Basin + Range, however, is wonderfully comfy, and I totally want to wear it. And I really think you can see that in these photos! The softness of the jeans; the coziness of the cardigan; the drape of the tank. Here are the details:

  • Sweater Tank: Great for spring and summer! It features a lightweight cotton knit for breathability and softness.
  • Oversized Cardigan: The perfect layering piece, it’s lightweight but plush and has a drop-shoulder cut. Patch pockets are great for stashing small essentials.
  • High-Waisted Skinny Jeans: I love that they feature a blend of organic and responsibly farmed cotton. They have a lot of stretch, they’re super soft, and they’re ultra-flattering because of that classic high-rise cut! (TTS, but if in between sizes, size up.)
