The author, a mom of two boys, is embracing a new phase in her family life: the “Always Wrestling” phase. While her house has always been a symphony of boisterous activity, the testosterone-fueled wrestling matches have escalated. Her older son, Raines, is a cross-country runner, while her younger son, Pax, is hitting the gym and lifting weights. These newfound strength disparities make their battles even more entertaining, particularly for her husband, who finds this period a testament to his own “Old Man Strength.”
The author shares her own moments of joy and exasperation: adoring her boys’ awe at their father’s strength, while simultaneously struggling to manage Pax’s growing size and affection for her laps. Despite the chaos, she finds it a “wonderful” phase.
Beyond the family shenanigans, the author continues with her usual dose of insightful product reviews and style recommendations. This week she highlights everything from comfy jeans and stylish sweaters to a luxurious satin pajama set and a must-try chocolate brown dress. She also shares a recipe for a simple yet surprisingly delicious lentil salad that even her picky boys loved.
As always, the author ends with a message of inclusivity and authenticity, inviting readers to join her in celebrating the journey of style and life.
