I refuse to accept that motherhood chaos means I can't feel chic or find joy 🥂

hi, I’m Katie. the friend you text at 9pm asking what do I wear to this.

I’m a working boy mom in Houston TX. I’d say my vibe right now is Prada meets playground.

daytime is practical but chic because I am running after two little boys, not walking a runway. nighttime is classy but sassy, that’s me talking to the part of myself that still wants a moment. proof I can hold both at the same time, in the same season of life.

I am also an outfit repeater. when something works I wear it again, I do not have the bandwidth for new decisions about my clothes every single day, and neither do you. quality over quantity, high mixed with low, that’s my whole formula.

follow along if you want to redefine this season of life with me. so grateful you are here. 🤍 taken in Houston, Texas by @katieraye_

The company I worked at for 9yrs sold while I was on maternity leave. Two weeks postpartum. With a brand new baby who had zero interest in sleeping more than 40 minutes at a time.

I gave myself 4 months and then I had to start interviewing for a new job. I was pumping in between calls, scheduling interviews around nap windows, praying my baby would hold it together long enough for me to sound like a competent human being on Zoom lol.

And somehow I did it. Hour by hour, interview by interview, running on no sleep and a four month sleep regression, I landed a job I was actually excited about.

I think about that season a lot. Not because it was fun, it was genuinely one of the hardest stretches of my life, but because it proved something to me. We hold so much more than anyone gives us credit for, often while looking completely composed on the outside.

If you’ve ever had life ask way more of you than felt fair, and you rose to it anyway, tell me in the comments. I want to know I’m not the only one!

almost missed this. was mid-pickup, two boys in bed, about to toss the dinosaurs in the bin, and looked down at the heels sitting right next to them.

two little boys, a full time job, a house that never stays clean for more than nine minutes, and somewhere in the middle of all that chaos was this exact scene. the one I used to picture and didn’t know I was already building.

I almost cleaned it up before I saw it. glad I didn’t.

Is it normal to find a T. rex in your bag? Or is it just me? 🦖

Boy moms, tell me the weirdest thing you’ve pulled out of your purse. I need to know I’m not alone!

I’ve learned you can’t have it all, at least not all at once. So I just keep showing up. 🤍

Didn’t have time to get all the outfit shots I wanted today, but I did my own hair, so honestly that’s a win. 

Casual, cute, and on Teams calls since 7am 🥂
