OOTD Spiffykerms Style

No Comments
@spiffykerms My Dad passed 8 years ago and I always love wearing one of his sweaters when it’s cool enough. Sweater: From Daddio Pants: @gap last winter @Sperry Chelsea rain boot#CapCut ? Shotgun – George Ezra

Ah, the favourite time of year for me is back. Took long enough, sheesh. California had been in a heatwave for what seemed like over two weeks and it’s only now starting to cool off enough in the mornings to wear some fall weather clothes. So here’s one of my faves, my Daddios sweater. He passed away 8 years ago, but eevery Fall/Winter I get out his 2 sweaters and wear them at least once. Here’s one of them. Back in the day when my parents went on weekend getaways I always slept with one of my Dad’s sweaters, so I had to have these when he passed.

I’ve been picking out my outfits including undergarments ahead of time. Otherwise, I tend to revert back to plain favorites. Laying back tea and a plain back leggings. This is how I would style these Boots when I take a moment for myself to pick out my outfits for the week…random fact there for ya.

Some people have asked me – How do I find time to write blog posts as a SAHM of 3? Well listen here, I tell you. My ideas come to me walking to pick up my son from school with the two younger brothers in the stroller and I use voice to text to email myself. Ideas or blog post content or just talk to myself and send myself an email with the paragraphs I’ve spoken to text, edit it to make it sound coherent and there you have it. All I have to do is include photos.

Loving the Oribel PortaPlay

No Comments

My baby is finally old enough to use his Oribel PortaPlay that was sent to us when he was a newborn. Watch me unbox it when we first got it:

@spiffykerms Unboxing and putting together the @loveoribel portaplay activity center for my 7week old (lol… He won’t be able to use it for a while but for now my older boys will enjoy patting at it and playing). It grows with kiddo so once he’s done sitting in it (legs can extend!) the seat can be covered and a table top can be added and it comes with two little stools/seats! #oribel #mamaof3 ? Eel Mountain – Goth Babe

It’s super handy to have at this stage (he’s 10 months old) because as a Mom of 3, as much as I want to hold my baby, I can’t all the time. He sits in this and his two older brothers race over to give him kisses and hugs, and play with him. It grows with kiddo so once he’s done sitting in it (legs can extend!) the seat can be covered and a table top can be added and it comes with two little stools/seats!

Harppa Baby bassinet

No Comments

I filmed this while I was still pregnant, not knowing baby would come just a few weeks later (and 6 weeks early). Glad I set this up when I did because it was his only crib at home for a bit, after he had a long nearly 3 week NICU stay.

@spiffykerms Unboxing my 3rd babys bassinet. the @HARPPA baby bassinet has rolly wheels (!!!) a clip-on super sturdy change pad, a little net – and it also turns into a little rocker????! #gifted #pregnantlife #baby3 #30weekspregnant ? original sound – spiffykerms

 

I’ve mentioned this a handful of times but I got rid of *everything* 0-12 months so I was adamant about getting a bassinet with wheels again because the convenience of rolling little one around the house is great. This Harppababy one has a bunch of neat features:

  • A removable change table (!! Which we use as our primary change station).
  • A cover for pokey brother hands.
  • A pocket on the side where I store extra packs and diaper cream, storage underneath (that holds burp cloths, swaddles and diapers).
  • A side that zips down so you can wheel baby to your bedside for easy night time feeds.
  • And the wheels come off and you can change it into a cradle.

I filmed a video of my baby using the bassinet back in December when he was 3 weeks old, take a look!
