Just because you’re a mom doesn’t mean you don’t have a voice in who you are. Being a mom defines us—but it doesn’t become us. At least, it doesn’t have to. Somewhere between packing lunches, picking up socks, and answering the 837th question of the day… it’s easy to forget the you underneath the job title of “Mom.” But here’s the deal: when we stay true to who we are, we’re not just doing it for ourselves—we’re modeling something powerful for the tiny humans who are busy idolizing us. And they do idolize us. Way more than we realize.

💡Life Lesson, Brought to You by Logan

This didn’t really hit me until my son Logan came downstairs one morning—head to toe in blue. I’m talking navy athletic shorts + a royal blue collared shirt. Blue. On. Blue. I blinked and said, “Oh wow bud… are you in a blue mood today?” Without missing a beat, Logan goes: “Well Mom, you said I could dress myself. And blue matches blue, right?” Fair point. I started to say, “Well, there’s a guideline for getting dressed…” But mid-sentence, I realized I was lying. I literally preach to my boutique besties all the time: Wear what makes you happy. Wear what feels good. Be YOU. So what Logan said next nearly broke me in the best way: “I heard you tell your internet friends that we wear what makes us happy and comfortable. Blue makes me happy. And these shorts sure are comfortable.”

Mic. Drop. 🎤

👕More Than an Outfit In that moment, I wasn’t just proud of Logan. I was proud of me—for living out the kind of message I want to pass on.

Style isn’t about rules. It’s not about what “goes.” It’s about how you feel in it.

Confidence. Joy. Self-expression.

That’s what I want for my kids. That’s what I want for YOU.

So go ahead—mix your colors, rock your sparkle, and throw on whatever makes you feel like YOU. Because your kids are watching. And they’ll believe whatever you model. So model confidence. Model joy. Model a little bit of “blue on blue” magic.
