finding adventure | katelyn ryan: style

mama & ruby

my dear husband has been working pretty much night and day since monday night after working this weekend. he finally got home at 11 this morning, and slept straight until we had to be somewhere at 7. we're currently both awake now at midnight, because our sleep schedules are a little off. mine more so, because i can't sleep when he's not here.

but, we're watching a movie, and it's ok. because life is sweet. and we're just thankful that we will have some time off tomorrow.

and i'm super thankful for my instagram husband who's quite the budding photographer and captured this sweet moment.

ruby at 15 months is a riot. she's not slowing down anytime soon.

this was the first day I pulled her hair into a little bun. it makes my heart melt a little.

my life these days: toddler chasing

i love you so much, little ru.

baby style

a summer outfit for baby

these items were all sitting out ready to be worn, so i decided to arrange them and take a photo. ruby has been living in some form of this outfit all summer. these are my favorite colors to put her in. we have two pairs of these shorts, one pair we thought she'd grow out of by summer that fit perfectly. and the pair that are just a bit too big, but she wears anyway. often a white shirt, this headband, with the perfect color of pink. and switching between these mocassins and her sandals, both gold of course. & this heart teether just for fun.
i love how worn all of these items are, and they still have quite a bit of life left. with autumn and cold weather near i need to look through her fall clothes, and thinking we may need to get smaller sizes for our little girl.

baby

my new diaper bag!

These photos were taken after mother's day. Remember when I said I wanted a new diaper bag in this post? Well, Jordan actually ordered it before I even posted that. My good man saw me looking at it and decided to get it for me for Mother's Day.

On this day we were headed out to grab a quick dinner and I had Jordan snap these photos. I'm not wearing any makeup, didn't do my hair, other than pinning it out of my face, but I am wearing the pretty blouse I bought on Mother's day (that post here), my new bag, and sporting my cute babe on my hip. So, I felt great.

Since having Ruby and no longer having to dress professionally every day, I've been working on pairing down my closet to things i like and that are easy. Since I'm not a jeans and t-shirt girl, for me this is effortless blouses.

I think I may have poked her in the eye or did something to upset her.

We have sooo many hostas in our yard. And they're the best.

being a mama

my first mother's day

I hope all you mamas and soon to be mamas had a wonderful day yesterday! and to those of you who long to be mamas, I know it's hard. This day is for you too.

Yesterday, I celebrated my first mother's day.

I am so thankful for my little almost-one-year-old who made me a mama. More and more everyday I realize that she's my daughter. Last night she spent a good twenty minutes rolling around on the bed and on top of me, giggling, and biting my nose. We were both cracking up. She's hilarious.

It was a really good day yesterday. I had no expectations for this day. Which was so good for me. and I knew what I wanted to do anyway. I wanted to go shopping!

It actually ended up being a long day, we were at church for quite a while and drove to St. Louis to go to my favorite stores. I snapped some bad dressing room photos of some things I tried on in Anthopologie that I will share with you below.
We were all tired when we got home, and Jordan was able to take a nap before heading into work last night and I was so sleepy I went right to sleep, which is not normal for me when he's not home.

Jordan snapped some photos of Ruby and me in front of the mall. Jordan was in a matching blue shirt and yellow tie earlier at church. We don't normally match this well, but it just sort of happened. I love yellow, and we all ended up wearing almost the exact same shade. (even though I like more of a mustard yellow)

This is a fun light test. I have tons of these of him. Anyway, Jordan bought a new shirt at the gap for like 4 bucks. He couldn't wait to get out of his tie. haha Granted, he did offer to put on his other shirt and tie before photos.

I actually told him that he didn't need to be in a photo. I just really wanted a photo of my Ruby and me. But, a kind stranger insisted on taking a photo of the three of us. So, I mean, I couldn't say no.

I found this iphone pic of jordan and ruby to show you that he was in fact matching us! Unfortunately it doesn't show off his yellow tie!

And here are some things I tried on at Anthopologie! Let's play a game, what do you think I decided to get? I picked three of these items. :)

white dress, yellow dress

white t-shirt, joggers, rose top

blue dress

How was your Mother's Day?

spring walk & my mama uniform

The weather was nice yesterday, and we went on a walk and had ice cream for dinner. AND I decided to try my hand at a fashion post. Because, you guys, I just love everything about this outfit. AND these shoes. I love these shoes. But, don't worry, it's still filled with cute photos of Ruby (Since I know that's why your here) and that dashing husband of mine. :)

We just can't not give her ice cream.

and look how happy she is! AND THOSE TEETH

my heart

cardigan | dress | boots

I plan to live in the outfit this summer. It's so easy to pull on and is ridiculously comfortable. And these shoes have been comfortable since the day I got them! So comfy!
