Liam ♡ In an alternate universe we would be cele Liam ♡ In an alternate universe we would be celebrating your first birthday. You should be crawling around, playing, laughing and eating too much cake today.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You should be here.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
My sweet boy I miss you more than words, I ache to hold you. We walked the orchard and planted flower seeds in your memory. We got winks from you in the form of the earth waking up, all the yellow blooms, including your magnolia which couldn’t have had better timing. It’s comforting to see you say hi.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And still, you should be here.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
He was here for a time. He existed. He mattered. He deserves to be celebrated.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I loved him from the second I saw the +test. I fell deeper in love every time I saw his energetic body bounce around on the ultrasound screen, I have all the blissful bump photos and I have the memory of his sweet little kicks. God I miss those kicks.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
My love did not end when he died.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Liam’s ashes, a few scan photos, my memory and an index card with his footprints are all that remains. I both hate that this is all I have left and am eternally grateful that I have them at all.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I found some comfort today but these anniversaries are also hard. I relive the trauma. The terror, shock, fear, disbelief, agony of being told your baby is dying. So deep and so crushing. Part of me died in that moment, part of me will never be the same again.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
There is nothing in this world more painful than living without your baby. You feel the heaviness, the absence, the longing for them constantly. The grief is always there, it ebbs and flows but it changes you to your core. You adapt to feeling the constant emptiness, your aching heart, your soft but heavy eyes, the shortness of your breath, that lump in your throat.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And yet, I feel immensely fortunate to have carried you for every moment of your life. I will never regret the time we spent together, loving you, carrying you, feeling you, celebrating you and envisioning the life you would have had. I will carry the insatiable longing to hold you until the day I die. You will always be my baby. You will always be missed. I will never stop loving and mothering you, my sweet Liam James ❤️
How did we do with the bow!? It’s growing on me How did we do with the bow!? It’s growing on me I think 🥰😍
April 3, 2021 • just us this Easter weekend 💗 April 3, 2021 • just us this Easter weekend 💗
I’m not quite sure how she turned 5 months in th I’m not quite sure how she turned 5 months in the blink of an eye 🥺 My Elora. We are doing great ❤️ we’re nursing and bedsharing and babywearing and contact napping and I’m literally soaking in every moment with her. Months 4 and 5 have been the best yet. My body knows what to do and I follow her cues. We’re super in tune and I feel like it’s making both of us happier humans.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
There is this unspoken narrative in our society that somehow attachment between mom and baby is a weakness, a crutch. I say f that, it’s one of the most beautiful strengths that exists in this universe. Period.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Mama if you’re reading this and need some validation or reassurance, I got you. It’s ok to cuddle and rock and nurse and sing your baby to sleep. Follow your instincts, tune out the noise, feel empowered in your motherly intuition and find your confidence in that. It is so incredibly liberating.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I know it’s a confusing landscape out there for new moms, I hear you, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and stress that you’re not doing something “right” or that your baby is “broken.” I’m not saying motherhood is easy for me, it’s the hardest (and best) thing I’ve ever done, but when women have the support they actually need and feel empowered in motherhood, that’s next-level world-changing stuff.⁣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Mama knows best, never forget it ❤️
Pregnancy after loss (PAL). Wrapping up this month Pregnancy after loss (PAL). Wrapping up this month of #pregnancyafterloss awareness by answering my two most asked questions ——⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
How did I know I was ready to try again and how did I survive my PAL?⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Well friend, I have no definitive answer for you. I don’t know how I knew I was “ready,” I just knew I desperately wanted to be pregnant again, and I do not know how I survived.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Contrary to what I thought prior to having my own PAL experience, I was not “better” or “healed” or “over” my baby’s death once pregnant again. I think the only thing I could do was lean into the conflicting feelings and accept that they coexist for me (grief and joy, for example).⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I want to share with you the two thoughts that did help ——⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
1. We were not replacing our baby (Liam), we were adding a sibling. Luca would be a big brother, as would Liam. My heart would expand for another child, not an “instead” child. Truly believing and accepting this was very helpful to me in my moments of guilt.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
2. This was the most profound realization for me: That I would love this baby whether she lived or died. How did I know this? Because the grief I feel for Liam is love. I love my babies from the moment I know they exist. So during my PAL I thought, if this baby died too it wouldn’t change that love. I embraced and accepted that. I think it’s actually what allowed me to take these maternity pictures two weeks before she was born. It wasn’t hope, it was that I loved her and would want to remember our time together either way.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
So maybe that is how I was able to survive. One day at a time, one thought at a time, facing the hard truths, embracing the pain of loss. Because, I’ll be honest, hope was hard for me.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Do I have magical advice? No. PAL was hard, it was a shitstorm of emotions and I feel like I just held on for dear life. Do whatever you have to do to survive, just know you are not crazy for the feelings. You are human 🤍

More resources can be found in my PAL highlights, reels and on my blog (link in bio) under ‘baby loss.’

Growing through it 🌿 I was thinking back and re Growing through it 🌿 I was thinking back and reflecting on the past 365 days this morning. It’s been a rollercoaster to say the least.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Early March 2020 I found out I was pregnant again after back to back losses. I was hopeful and relieved but also doubtful, disconnected and terrified. I spoke in “ifs” not “whens.” I felt guilt and resentment and anger but also was so incredibly grateful.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
We were quickly approaching Liam’s edd in April, a time that I deeply dreaded, and not even one week later went into full lock down pandemic mode.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I was a total wreck. Things felt veryyy out of control and uncertain.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I did the only thing I could do, I focused on what I could control. I continued therapy, started using tools like essential oils to help me stay grounded + present and threw myself full force into gardening.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I quite literally and physically GREW through my anxiety, pain and grief last year. My garden kept me grounded and sane and helped me feel connected to my body and my heart, out in the garden was one of the only places I felt safe letting my mind wander and imagine a living baby in my arms.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Growing veggies and flowers for my family was within my control and was exactly what I needed in this situation of heavy uncertainty — uncertainty both within myself and in the world.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
March 2020 and March 2021 Christines are very different, I’ve realized the journey isn’t TO healing, healing IS the journey, it’s doesn’t ever end. I’m proud of where I’m at and humbled to think about where I’ve come from 💗

It’s time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 and I have the ultimate guide to help you navigate the sale!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Try On Haul: The Ultimate Guide to this year’s sale!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 in-store early access try-on and my top picks from the sale

I have to admit I do love me some Nordstrom and I also love a good sale! So Nordstrom’s anniversary sale is one of my favorites of the entire year. You can snag BRAND NEW fall pieces at pretty discounted prices – booties, denim, cardigans/sweaters, coats, accessories, athletic wear – all NEW styles to fill your fall wardrobe!

AND many of the brands are some of my FAVORITE big names, so I especially like to save on these or invest in something I’ve had my eye on.

Click the brand name below to be taken to the respective sale pages for each. Sometimes I find it’s easier for me to shop this way!

  • Hunter
  • Tory Burch
  • Barefoot Dreams
  • Spanx
  • Zella
  • Vince Cumto
  • Madewell
  • Free People
  • Nuna
  • Converse

There are also great deals on items for the home, baby/kid’s stuff, and beauty products as well. I’ll be covering all of these categories over the next few weeks!

I spent a few hours yesterday in-store putting together a (hopefully) helpful try-on because I know not all of you have a store near you! My store of course did not have everything (I don’t think any store does!) but I have also included some extra picks at the bottom of this post. I’ll also be making an online order this week and doing a try on of those things at home, stay tuned!

As far as my purchases this year I tried to take it slow and be superrrr thoughtful. I actually invested in A LOT last year, so truth be told I really didn’t need much this year! I went for quality pieces that I knew I would wear a ton, as well as a few investment pieces I can keep wearing year after year. Plus I FINALLY scooped up this Barefoot Dreams Blanket I’ve been eyeing for two years now!

PS: Nordstrom always has FREE SHIPPING & FREE RETURNS!

Their customer service is top notch and a big reason why I love shopping with them!!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Dates & Tips

If you’re just popping into this post and aren’t sure about dates, here is a quick breakdown.

  • Ambassadors + Icon Members (aka. big spenders) get even earlier access this year: July 11th at 12:30pm EST 
  • Early Access for Nordstrom cardholders can shop: July 12th at 12:30pm EST – July 18th
  • Public Access (anyone) can shop: July 19th – August 4th

TIP: If you are a card holder you can request to make your shopping day your “triple points day” that way you can maximize your rewards!

It's time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 and I have the ultimate guide to help you navigate the sale!

My Approach to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019

I’m a pretty casual person, I don’t really stray far from my comfort zone of comfy tees, neutral colors, cozy fabrics, and mom-friendly everything! I look for versatility – “capsule” items I can style multiple ways/things I can dress up or dress down, wear for a few seasons, etc.; I look for value – something I will get a lot of use out of through several years and seasons; I look for practicality – pretty and useful! That’s how I like my purchases haha. And I look for worth – is the item actually a good deal considering the sale price, but would I also invest in this item even if it was not on sale. AKA am I really scoring an awesome deal on something I love?

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2019 Sizing Info

I am 5’8″ and typically wear a medium, 8 or 29 as far as sizes go. My body shape is curvy/hourglass/athletic shape, and I am a 34D bra size or large. I also have broad shoulders (swimmer life), muscular thighs and wide feet (size 9 in shoes).

Unless I note otherwise, I am wearing my normal size in all pieces!

About My Links

Items in this post (and in most of my posts here on the blog) are affiliate links. This means I am affiliated with the retailer and make a small commission when an item is purchased “through” my link (aka when you click on it). This does not affect the price you pay AT ALL. You do not pay any extra by clicking on an affiliate link! The small commission I make from a purchase helps me make a living and helps my family pay the bills just like any other job.

One thing to note about links is that if you are on mobile and it opens in-app the purchase does not get linked back to me. No big deal, I totally understand and LOVE the convenience of apps myself! But I do get this question and wanted to clarify.

I just want to take a sec to say THANK YOU! Thank you for taking the time to read my post and support my family and I, it is so so appreciated more than you will ever know!!

North Face ThermoBall Insulated Parka ($160) // Adidas Sneakers ($64) // Little Boy North Face ($48, similar)

This was one of my investment pieces from last year and I have already gotten much more than my money’s worth out of it! I love the length, I love that it’s super lightweight and I love that it keeps me warm! I didn’t get it purposely for traveling but being so lightweight it was awesome for that! I wore it everyday as my winter coat and it’s ThermoBall technology kept me super warm during our cold NY winter. I plan on wearing it again this winter!

Super Soft Caslon Turtleneck ($46) // Denim ($60) // Mules ($55)

I forgot to take a photo of myself in THIS Caslon sweater/tunic but it was the first one in my story try on! Great sweater that I could see myself wearing all fall and winter. It’s nice and long so you could definitely pair it with leggings! It’s oversized but I like the way the medium fits me, you could size down one if you wanted though! The fabric is super soft and stretchy like cashmere!

Ugg Slip-On Sneaker ($65)

Love these, anything slip-on is life when you’re a busy mom! These one in a few colors and fit TTS, the perforated detail and slight platform I think are really beautiful and for Ugg the price point is great! I did not grab these only because I own a super similar pair by Steve Madden, but I have to admit I like the perforated detail on these better than my plain ones and these are CHEAPER! Haha I should have waited for the sale!)

Born Suede & Leather Riding Boots ($160)

These are my riding boots of choice for the sale! Born is an incredible company, very high quality, so for $160 I think these are a steal. They also fit perfectly around my big calves with room to spare sooo SCORE! And I tried on the regular, NOT the wide calf (but the option is there if needed). I just love the two-tone of the different textures, the inside is cool, the heel is perfect and they are comfortable. Checks everything off my list!

Vince Camuto Perforated Bootie ($99)

Love this color bootie, it is so versatile for the fall! I have a similar pair that I wore ALL the time last year! The heel height is 2″ which is perfect for everyday wear. This would be a closet staple in my opinion!

I found another SUPER similar pair that is also part of the sale for under $60! CLICK HERE!

Steve Madden Loafers ($59)

Snake print is in! I can handle it in a small/sbutle shoe like these and I thin they would work well in my wardrobe because most of my clothes are neutral/non-patterened. So adding a pop or color or pattern to your shoe is a good way to spruce up any look. These were a little tight on me so I sized up a 1/2 size, and they come in a bunch of colors/patterns!

Vince Camuto Bootie ($99)

These are SO sleek and chic! I’m obsessed!! I love that the toe is a little more narrow and they come in a bunch of colors/patterns! Snake print is in for this season but I don’t think I’m quite there yet to fully invest in a snake print boot haha. But I do love this color (foxy suede) and the black! I did not snag these even though they are my top bootie pick of the sale, only because I own a SUPER similar pair from last year!

Adidas Sneaker ($64)

LOVE these sneaks! I own them in a lighter color but I’m digging the copper stripes! They fit TTS and are super comfy, I wore them while hiking the volcano in Maui and they are my sneaker of choice for everyday use. This is the cheapest I have seen them and I’ve kept my eye on them!!

Vince Camuto Cut-Out Sandal ($99)

These are gorgeous! If you have somewhere nice to wear them I would definitely recommend. The arch/heel is a bit high for me but I love the style and they were comfortable as far as heels go!

Blondo Hidden Wedge Sneaker ($79)

These are CUTE. I don’t own anything like them but I’ve been eyeing the style since last year so when I saw the price I scooped them right up! This brand is fully waterproof which is convenient, the hidden wedge is super subtle (I didn’t even notice it at first!) and they fit TTS!

Cheaper, SUPER similar option linked HERE! (Under $50 by Caslon!)

I always want to remember this summer, the first summer with our brand new baby boy. Read this post for our 2018 summer recap!

Hunter Mid-Calf Boots $89 (reg. $140!!)

I highly recommend investing in Hunters if you’ve been eyeing them! THESE are my absolute favorite pair I’ve ever owned – they are durable, functional (I use them in the garden, on the farm and whenever it rains or snows!) and they’re cute! Plus I LOVE the mid-calf height because I have wider calves and these fit awesome, there’s a little room around my legs which is so much more comfortable. For Hunter you cannot beat this price, it’s rare to see ANY styles under $100 let alone one as cute as this!

 

PHEW thanks for bearing with me through that you guys! Below are shoppable images separated by category, they include try on items plus some extra favorite I saw while browsing online!

If you scroll all the way down I have all the try on pieces in one place as well. I hope this helps, happy shopping guys!!

    Hey!! It’s me Katie from @Katie.Plus.Coffee hands down the best NSale blog post without question!!! We have similar style preferences… maybe because we’re both moms or maybe because we’re just major style icons 😂 who knows. So my favorites are the madewell mules, Ugg slip ons (I own in black and they’re amazing), love the colorblock sweater and the barefoot dreams cardigan (most comfy ever.) We also buy Nuna during the sale every year. Bought the stroller and baby car seat two years ago, convertible last year and buying the convertible again this year for baby #2. Highly recommend because of points and like you said not going on sale!

      Thank you so much Mary!! Haha I know the feeling! It’s definitely hard to narrow down what you really want and can spend the money on, especially during an awesome sale like this one! But please don’t go broke!! There will be many more opportunities in the future to scoop these items up on sale!

    Popping in from IG (@nikki.pells) Thank you for sharing such a great post on the NSale! I love all these looks, but especially loved the midi tank dress with Converses! I scooped this dress up with an upcoming trip to Italy, and plan to wear with plain white sneakers, and know I’ll get a lot of wear this fall too. So versatile!

Spent some time at one of my favorite places in th Spent some time at one of my favorite places in the world earlier this week, with some of my favorite people, and it was so dang good for the soul 🌸 more flowering tree and shrub content comin at you this week just because! Also...⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿 Mini Gifting 🌿⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
A little thank you for supporting me!! I’m gifting a personally curated gardening package to one winner, all you have to do is follow me @christinemcovino and my other account @christineandcoliving, then head to my stories for the rest of the entry instructions 🥳

Liam ♡ In an alternate universe we would be cele Liam ♡ In an alternate universe we would be celebrating your first birthday. You should be crawling around, playing, laughing and eating too much cake today.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
You should be here.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
My sweet boy I miss you more than words, I ache to hold you. We walked the orchard and planted flower seeds in your memory. We got winks from you in the form of the earth waking up, all the yellow blooms, including your magnolia which couldn’t have had better timing. It’s comforting to see you say hi.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And still, you should be here.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
He was here for a time. He existed. He mattered. He deserves to be celebrated.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I loved him from the second I saw the +test. I fell deeper in love every time I saw his energetic body bounce around on the ultrasound screen, I have all the blissful bump photos and I have the memory of his sweet little kicks. God I miss those kicks.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
My love did not end when he died.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Liam’s ashes, a few scan photos, my memory and an index card with his footprints are all that remains. I both hate that this is all I have left and am eternally grateful that I have them at all.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I found some comfort today but these anniversaries are also hard. I relive the trauma. The terror, shock, fear, disbelief, agony of being told your baby is dying. So deep and so crushing. Part of me died in that moment, part of me will never be the same again.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
There is nothing in this world more painful than living without your baby. You feel the heaviness, the absence, the longing for them constantly. The grief is always there, it ebbs and flows but it changes you to your core. You adapt to feeling the constant emptiness, your aching heart, your soft but heavy eyes, the shortness of your breath, that lump in your throat.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
And yet, I feel immensely fortunate to have carried you for every moment of your life. I will never regret the time we spent together, loving you, carrying you, feeling you, celebrating you and envisioning the life you would have had. I will carry the insatiable longing to hold you until the day I die. You will always be my baby. You will always be missed. I will never stop loving and mothering you, my sweet Liam James ❤️
How did we do with the bow!? It’s growing on me How did we do with the bow!? It’s growing on me I think 🥰😍

I’m not quite sure how she turned 5 months in th I’m not quite sure how she turned 5 months in the blink of an eye 🥺 My Elora. We are doing great ❤️ we’re nursing and bedsharing and babywearing and contact napping and I’m literally soaking in every moment with her. Months 4 and 5 have been the best yet. My body knows what to do and I follow her cues. We’re super in tune and I feel like it’s making both of us happier humans.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
There is this unspoken narrative in our society that somehow attachment between mom and baby is a weakness, a crutch. I say f that, it’s one of the most beautiful strengths that exists in this universe. Period.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Mama if you’re reading this and need some validation or reassurance, I got you. It’s ok to cuddle and rock and nurse and sing your baby to sleep. Follow your instincts, tune out the noise, feel empowered in your motherly intuition and find your confidence in that. It is so incredibly liberating.⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
I know it’s a confusing landscape out there for new moms, I hear you, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and stress that you’re not doing something “right” or that your baby is “broken.” I’m not saying motherhood is easy for me, it’s the hardest (and best) thing I’ve ever done, but when women have the support they actually need and feel empowered in motherhood, that’s next-level world-changing stuff.⁣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Mama knows best, never forget it ❤️
