This series, I Adore What I DID, allows me to catch up with you on a more personal level! Plus, you can see and get the deats on WHAT WE WORE!!! Take a look at our month through unedited iPhone pictures {read: they won’t always be the best quality but #reallife} and some words, too. Xox
Well, you were an EPIC month, May! I’m actually quite sad to see you go. First and foremost, who knew this was the month that my son would start trotting around town walking like it’s his job??! I sure didn’t! Also, we started May with some rainy and cold weather and thankfully, that’s long gone and we now can enjoy the GORGEOUS, perfect, sunny warmth of spring {which has actually been feeling like summer lately}. Besides for the walking and the weather, we ate LOTS of sweets {maybe too many?!?}, only made it to Whole Foods once {whaaaaaaat?!? and it wasn’t even documented; was wahh} and Brody even took his first road trip filled with lots of family time. Obsessed with this month! See all the action below!
We kicked May off with an Hawaiian-themed catered-in house-warming party at our friends’ new cool pad! Their place was decked out to the extreme in pineapples, giant leaves, and pure Hawaiian goodness. And this bar cart above, PERFECTION.
WHAT I WORE: Black and white gingham tank; White cardigan
My good friend Lisa became a mommy to the cutest little munchkin I’ve ever seen. Brody and I went to visit little Nora and I love her so much already! Precious!
WHAT BRODY WORE: Hero raglan tee; Jeans; Shoes
Park day! There were lots of park days documented in May and I just LOVE pictures of Brody on the swings because he’s SO happy and excited about it.
WHAT {MY} BRODY WORE: Bears sweatshirt, no longer available, cute one here.
The two birthday twin Brody boys enjoying lunch together at The Bagel.
WHAT I WORE: Windowpane top, unavailable online, love this one
WHAT BRODY WORE: Striped beanie, limited edition, shop my favorite beanie brand here; Bib
Another fun lunch… this time outside! Here we were at Earl’s and it was the first beautiful day we had in a long time. Love taking selfies with my boy!!
These two! By now you know Brody’s friend Jeffrey and it’s because I seriously can’t get enough of these two. Do I say that every time? I think so. But it’s SO true! Jeffrey ate dinner over one night and he’s actually wearing a shirt that Brody has too! Later on we changed Brody into his shirt and they were twins!! It was hilarious, not to mention super cute! Take a look at the collage below to see alllll the shenanigans these boys got into that night!
WHAT BRODY {AND JEFFREY} WORE: Throwback splattered t-shirt, no longer available online, I LOVE this one SO much!!
And then there were these three below…
WHAT BRODY WORE: Zip-up sweatshirt, no longer available; Jeans
The stroller dudes! Asher’s on the left, Dylan’s in the middle, and Brody is obviously on the right! We had lunch, caught up, and shopped around Bloomingdale’s. It made for a great little Saturday!
WHAT I WORE: Faux leather jacket, no longer available, obsessed with this one.
WHAT ASHER WORE: The North Face fleece jacket
Then I taught Brody’s bestie Asher how to drive! Just kidding, but how cute is this pic? Love him!
WHAT BRODY WORE: Zip-up sweatshirt, no longer available; Jeans
The hubs was out of town for Mother’s Day weekend seeing his brother graduate from Law School. I knew I had a package that I hadn’t picked up at our front desk from a few days before so I went to go get it with Brody and the doorman hands me these beautiful flowers too!! Surprise from Isaiah {and according to the card they were from Brody too, but of course}! This definitely made my day!!
Mother’s day with the one and only boy who made me a mom! I am the luckiest and truly don’t take any day with him for granted. To say that I’m obsessed with being a mom to this little one is an absolute understatement! LOVE. HIM. {to the moon and back times infinity!}
HAIRCUT! We went short! The hairdresser was laughing at me because the first time we went to get him a cut, {which was only a few weeks before this time} I was SUPER paranoid that she was going to cut too much and hardly let her cut anything at all. We just wanted a clean up. This time was a whole different story, however!! I told her to go short for the summer and that’s exactly what she did! Pictures of the after below! He needed it!
WHAT I WORE: Top {my moms and she knew I loved it so she randomly gave it to me the day of the party – obviously I had to wear it!}, no longer available, similar short sleeve version here.
Celebrated my bestie’s birthday this month! Isn’t she pretty?!
WHAT BRODY WORE: Grateful Dead t-shirt
Took Brody and Asher to Doodle’s Donuts. I talked about this a little bit in a Weekly Wins post but if you want to see an entire collage of Brody go to town with his donut, click here.
WHAT BRODY WORE: ‘The Beatles’ t-shirt; Sweatpants {not available online}, similar here
May 12, 2016: We have a walker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then I got a new iPhone 6S and a new case. That was exciting.
WHAT BRODY WORE: Superman long-sleeve t-shirt, no longer available, this one is cuter and short-sleeves!
And here’s Brody on his first road trip! He was so good in the car! {admittedly, better on the way there than on the way home!} We went to Michigan to visit cousins and friends!
Brody’s cousin Jonah is a lover! I only hope Brody grows up to be as sweet and nice as he is!! PS I die at the cuteness in this photo!!!
And B liked to steal his little cousin Rylee’s food off her high chair plate. Thank goodness she was a good sharer and didn’t mind all that much!
WHAT BRODY WORE: ‘Captain America’ t-shirt; Zip-up sweatshirt {on major sale!!}; Camo joggers {now $17.95, down from $35!!!}; Shoes
Here’s the Brodster with our friend Adam! I adore this pic. They just moved into a new house in downtown Michigan so of course we had to go and see them! Clearly, Brody had a good time!
WHAT BRODY WORE: The North Face fleece jacket.
Brody and I in a gigantic Radio Flyer wagon at Old Orchard. Anyone from Chicago needs to check out this pop-up store with their kiddos.

And this photo. Can I be this cool when I grow up?!?! #melting
Somebody loves honeydew!!!! Get at it boy!
Brody’s first experience at temple! I’ve told you before that I teach Jewish Sunday School and all the teachers have been begging me to bring the Brodster there since he was born. I finally did on our last day! Doesn’t B look like a temple-going natural?
WHAT BRODY WORE: Black t-shirt with white speckles; Similar White Sox child’s hat
Out to dinner and drinks with my good friend Traci who’ve I known my whole life! Auntie TT to Brody! She’s the best with kids. He loves her of course!
WHAT BRODY WORE: Illinois T-shirt; Similar White Sox child’s hat
Another park day with B! Look at his shirt. I just adore it!
This kid could sit on the swings for ever and ever and ever!
WHAT I WORE: Windowpane flowy tank, old, LOVE this updated summery windowpane tank!
ANDDDDD I GOT A HAIRCUT!!!!!! You guys, I got like 6 inches cut off my head!!! It was glorious! I feel like a new person and there’s a whole weight lifted off me!! Am I the only one who feels like this after a haircut? I am so happy with the outcome! BIG shoutout to Alissa at Salon Buzz River North! {she’s been my hairdresser for years and years, totally listens to what I want every time, and I ALWAYS leave with a smile on my face!}
Brody and Asher LOVED Dylan’s Candy Bar!!! #not
WHAT I WORE: slip dress with my fave lace up heels
Meet Asher’s mom!!!!!!! Lauren is a bestie for life!!!! Isaiah and I went out with her and her husband for dinner on Saturday night for some much needed adult time! Great night!!
We celebrated my brother’s bday out with the fam! Fun night! Brody eye’s were transfixed on watching him blow out the candles! And my niece Sloane helped her daddy make a wish!!
WHAT BRODY WORE: American flag peace t-shirt – for toddler size click here & infant click here; Star harem shorts c/o Lola & The Boys; Nike Roche Gym Shoes {adult version found here}
And on Memorial Day, we celebrated BBQing at friends where the Brodster got wild with daddy. Afterwards, we {all – haha no shame} napped and then parked it up! Because the park has quickly become one of Brody’s favorite places to be!
