James Perse mini tote bag (mine is really old, the color is no longer available)
Hawk is wearing Hanna Anderssen 😉
We went to James Perse this week so I could buy a size up in my favorite leggings – and I wanted to check out the size of the small canvas tote bag and see if it would work for me. I’ve had this mini tote for years and love it, but could use something a bit bigger now to incorporate Hawk’s stuff (which isn’t much, I have only added a pouch with diapers and changing stuff), but still. And I’d love a darker color, this shows EVERY mark. Not that I mind that very much; I actually like it when items show their wear, within reason. It shows that they’ve been truly loved.
Anyway, I got the leggings and it turns out my old leggings in a size down feel/fit better on me than the new ones. Probably because of age and being slightly stretched out – they’re almost ten years old. Ugh. I can’t figure out my body rn, it’s BRAND NEW. And while I do feel less pain some days, I don’t feel good enough to really exercise like I should, beyond just walking. I have a very hard time getting up from the floor, so yoga/pure barre is out for a little while longer. Exercising patience is about all I can do lately !!
Oh, and here is another EF piece I got from the unisex collection. Honestly, this top doesn’t fit/look any differently than some tops from her regular line; it’s oversized and boxy. I love the fit of it and the high slits up the side make it super easy for breastfeeding.
Wow, I am really loving being able to get work done in the mornings while Hawk sleeps a little longer. Even just quiet time in the morning is wonderful; feels like old times almost. But much, much better…
Cuties! That must be the surplus color of the top, right? I’ve got my eye on that but since my closet declutter, I’m trying to live by the “one in – one out rule.” I don’t really NEED it, so there’s that.
Keep on taking jaunts and you’ll get back to “you” in no time. I’m finding that as exhausting as it was chasing my grandkids – who can resist “Get me, Grandma! Get me!”? – it was good for my body to move and my pain level decreased substantially. I slept better, too.
It feels like old times here again – only better! 🙂
What a cute baby boy?. He is looking great. You both do!
Getting up from floor is knee related i think. Try some deep knee bends but they are so boring.
Also love idea of backpack. Have you tried one?

Sorry. Meant !!! After baby boy
He’s so adorable!! Keep the photos coming.
I’ve been finding private classical Pilates lessons focused on post-partum recovery to be helpful. I still can’t sit up as easily as before (I had a c-section, so I could sit up more easily literally the day before he was born than I can now), but I’m getting there.
Wow! He looks so happy!
Hi Grechen! Long time reader, first time commentor. Hawk is adorable! Also, I wanted to let you know that I’ve become a James Perse convert. I got a dress and skirt from the Outnet and both fit beautifully on me despite being 5’4 and the model on the site being 5’9 – I don’t know how he does it! I’d like to try more now. So thank you very much!
yay!!! love to hear from new JP converts. the pieces (dresses and skirts mostly) are magical. I can’t explain it any other way LOL
