Our New Normal
Happy weekend, gals! There’s a new normal around here…and it involves that little dude, Watson! Being a first time puppy mom has pretty much flipped my world upside down (that is a very true statement…literally everything on the floor is now moved up high haha)…lack of sleep, minimal time with my computer tending to emails, serious mom guilt when I leave the house, a lot more dinners at home rather than leisurely restaurant visits…However: life at home feels so much more enriched, I am not taking things as seriously (…that email can hold off an hour or two!), I laugh at a ton (…puppies are SO adorable and hilarious!) and above all, our house feels so much more like a “lived in” home. Blake and I are so happy to have Watson in our little family!
Adjusting to life with a puppy means spending more quality time at home…hot coffee in my hand (and a squeaky toy in the other hand!), cozy slippers on my feet and a cute pair of pajamas. A comfy and adorable pair of PJs can make me feel “beautiful” even when I got four hours of sleep and feel like a walking zombie, ha!
One of my absolute favorite gifts to give or receive (…or treat myself to!) is a great pajamas set. I am one of those people that holds on to my PJs for YEARS (…no really, half my pajama drawer is filled with pieces from my high school days!) and am a firm believer in quality over quantity. Bloomingdales has so many wonderful sleepwear brands that make for fabulous holiday gifting ideas – like this cute little set by UGG! Ps. Being in Austin, we’re currently at 85 degrees in mid-November…thus, opting for shorts over pants is never a bad idea! 😉
Are you a big fan of cute sleepwear? Any brands you swear by? I would LOVE to know! Always on the hunt for a solid pair of loungewear over here! You can see the full selection of sleepwear over at Bloomingdales here – so many goodies (it was a tough call between this pair…). Have a marvelous weekend, XOXO!
A big thank you to Bloomingdales for sponsoring this post! All opinions are my own.

Lake Pajamas!!
I love how you guys have your living room set up with all the books! Watson is aaaabsolutely adorable. Dogs definitely make a home feel more…well, “at home” lol he looks like the perfect new addition! Adjusting to dog mom life can be tough (been there!) but you’ll get used to it…sounds like you already are!
What kind of doggie? So cute!
Thanks girly!! He is an Aussie Labradoodle. 🙂 We got him from Austin Labradoodles here in town!
Puppies are a huge adjustment, but they definitely add more excitement and happiness to your life.
