What We Wear: Humble Hilo

 

Hi all, i hope everyone has had a great week thus far, we have been so busy lately i feel like life is just going by so quickly! I have this feeling of restlessness where i feel like i have so much to do and not enough time to do it. It must be early nesting or something? Whatever it is, its good and bad. I get a lot of the fun stuff done but the things that i really  really need to do i keep putting off because of my lack of energy these days (pregnancy update post to come soon).  I am sooooo tired from being 32.5 weeks pregnant, third trimester is beating my bum! Anywho, one of the many things on my list of to do's is to share with you all some of the cute baby girl clothes ive been collecting for our sweet little lady on the way! Today i have SUCH A RAD brand to share with you. Humble Hilo.

Humble Hilo is a company that was started by two friends, Lauren and Erica, who share a passion for fashion and helping others!. Together they created beautiful bags, shoes and clothing created from Guatemalan textiles.  Humble Hilo creates job opportunities for Maya women and families living in poverty. They also give a portion of their profit to a hummanitarian organization called World Link Partners. This organization helps the Guatemalan people in 3 different projects: Infant and child nutrition, Literacy and Education and lastly Microfinance loans for women. With every item you buy youre supporting these families that are employed by them, as well as you get to choose which of the 3 projects your purchose will go towards supporting! HOW RAD IS THAT?! This is a company i can fully get behind. Find more info here.

"With more than 7 years spent in Guatemala working with non-profit organizations, we want to do more than just sell products; we want to create a change. We have traveled back to bring fashion-forward items to market. These unique items mix ancient techniques with modern style that will set you apart from the rest." -the lovely ladies of Humble Hilo.  They have hearts of gold and just want to help others in need.

I love this sweet little dress handmade and handwoven below and these leather sandals are probably my favorite sandals ive ever seen! 

With the purchase of JUST these $25 leather sandals, you can choose a portion of the proceeds to support one of the following humanitarian projects:

• Nutrition: Feed a malnourished child 2 meals for 1 week
• Microfinance: Provide a portion of a microcredit loan to a woman for the duration of 4 days
• Literacy: Provide literacy classes for a woman for 3 weeks 

 
YES YES YES!!! 

 

^^^these handmade/handwoven (by Guatemalan women) dresses come in sizes starting at 6months all the way up to 24 months. Traditional materials used: Huipil patch with blue corte fabric^^^

Hey Lovelies, we just got back into town last night from Colorado celebrating my husbands grandma's 80th birthday! It was so nice to have time away with his side of the family that live in Colorado and have Cash finally meet the rest of them & just enjoy time together.  Today I want to share with you these two adorable shops that have the cutest girl accessories and handmade dresses. I love A Little Lady shop's headbands and felt bows, they are made so well and come in the cutest options of patterns and colors.  I cannot wait to put our baby girl in these. That top crystal headband is what she'll be wearing (matching with her cousin who will be 5 weeks older) to my brothers wedding in September. I can hardly wait!! I adore these vintage inspired hand made dresses by Petit Patch, they have handmade embroidered roses  & geometric shapes on them and are the most dreamy material. She is going to be so sweet in these flutter sleeves (obsessed). Check out Petit Patch and see their two piece sets and rompers as well.

A Little Lady shop also has swaddle blankets & they are too die for with sweat pom pom details! (see below)

What We Wear: Lucky Palm Tree Boy & Girl Addition

 

Hey ladies, we had QUITE the week last week as i previously mentioned in my last post and now running into this week, we had two water leaks last week and then realized Sunday evening that one of them wasnt completely fixed like we had thought. So back again came the plumber, for the third time. FUN TIMES..

We have now done all of the "fixing" for the leaks but now need to have our contractor do the repairs to the damaged dry wall, we basically have no ceiling in our downstairs bathroom and have 4-5 holes in our kitchen ceiling. It could be way worse and we are just so grateful the damage wasn't permanent or something we would've had to go through insurance with.   So hurray for being almost through with it all! On to more fun things (:

I'll be sharing our baby shower this week so keep an eye out for that and have so many posts planned for you guys. I am also due for a baby bump update, sharing a bit of life lately, and Cash is now 20 months old so i'd love to be able to get an update up for him as well because he is just too much fun right now and i want to remember every single detail! 

I had my first moment of reality hit me yesterday during nap time that im about to become a mommy to another human being. I had a flood of fear to tell you the truth. Fear that I wont be able to share myself with another person without giving Cash less of me on the daily. That just sounds like so much for him to handle, Im sure its all in my head and i am aware that I struggle with a ridiculous amount of irrational mom guilt, so im trying to keep that in mind and surrender my fear to God. I know that He chose this little girl to be Cashs sister just as much as He chose her to be my husband and I's daughter. I know once everyone adjusts all will be well in our home again and Cash will come to a place where he loves having another friend in the house every single day. I also get nervous for what life with two little people will look like. I have no idea what to expect. I have focused these past 7 months on the excitement and all the beautiful parts of being pregnant and welcoming another special little angel into our family so I think the reality of how hard it might be in the beginning is just now sinking in since we are less than 11 weeks away! I am so grateful beyond belief for a healthy baby girl, to be able to carry her to term and keep her safe. I can't thank Jesus enough for choosing me to be her & her brothers mommy. I just wanted to be honest about the other side of it, the real fear that some moms feel when adding a new baby to the home. No one knows what to expect so I guess most of us have waves of nerves when we think about the 'unkown'.  Heres to praying all is a smooth transition.

I would love tips from you ladies that have done this before! Please share in the comments!

Now on to this adorable post featuring Lucky Palm Tree organic baby and toddler clothing. We have worked along side of Lucky Palm Tree several times now since Cash was a teeny tiny baby and just cant get enough of all of their new patterns, especially those adorable girl outfits I didn't get to try out until now.  If you havent seen them before or have yet to see their new prints check them out (here)!
