A Christmas Announcement

December 25, 2018

Baby Announcement

Happy Holidays!


Love,
Kate, Alex and Baby M

To say that I’ve been neglecting Fashionably Kate & Co., what I consider to be my baby, would be an understatement. I haven’t posted since mid-October and today is Christmas! But that is because I’ve been a little busy with a very different baby that has become quite the little dictator.

That’s right, we have an announcement to make. Come next June our little family will be welcoming a tiny new member! We are over the moon and I cannot wait to share all about how we found out, how I’ve been feeling, and how we announced it to our closest family and friends.

It has been very special to be able to share this news while making our annual holiday visits. There has been lots of hugs and kisses and some happy tears. And as this will be the first grandchild for both sides, I have a feeling that there will be a few presents under the tree for the future Baby M this year. He or she is already so blessed!

For those near and dear to us that don’t live so near, we announced our happy news in our yearly holiday card. Our great friend, Jessie Wyman of Jessie Wyman Photography captured these beautiful photos of us back in November, a little over a month after we found out.

Not only did she make me look really good (I have yet to experience that real pregnancy glow, but more on that later), she also captured the joy we have been feeling since the moment we saw that little plus sign appear!

As I said, I can’t wait to share the excitement of the past few months, including more details on this gorgeous, vintage travel-inspired shoot. But for now I will wish everyone Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy (late) Hannukah, Happy Festivus, etc. etc. etc.! May you receive everything on your Christmas wish list … I know I did!

I’m Pregnant!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Today, my heart is overflowing 💖, and while the Today, my heart is overflowing 💖, and while the world celebrates mothers, I find myself wanting to turn the spotlight onto the tiny, extraordinary humans who gave me that precious title: my daughters.

To my funny, smart, incredibly intelligent, and oh-so-beautiful babies, Arielle and Aurora: you two are the architects of a love I never knew could exist. You’ve painted my world in hues of joy I couldn’t have imagined and taught me what love, in its purest, most profound sense, truly means.

My sweet Arielle, my fellow empath – with your gentle soul, you’ve shown me the incredible power of true kindness. For years, life’s sharper edges had made me build walls, a little hardened, a little mad from past hurts. But watching you navigate the world with such inherent compassion, you taught me that closing off my heart only ever really hurt myself. You reminded me how to soften, how to open up again, and for that, I am eternally grateful. You are a beacon.

And to my little Aurora, not even two years old, yet you are a tiny titan of strength! You, my darling, have already taught this mama so much about standing her ground, about finding her voice and using it. Your fierce spirit is a daily lesson in self-assuredness, and I am in awe of you.

Of course, on a day like today, I am also celebrating my own incredible Mom, @cja8690, Thank you for every lesson, every sacrifice, every piece of wisdom you’ve poured into me, and for continuing to shower my girls with that same love and guidance. Watching you with them is one of my greatest joys.

And to my wonderful sister,Anna @whovian11forlife, their amazing Godmother – what a blessing you are. To have such a positive, inspiring role model for my girls, someone so wonderfully different from me in some ways, yet so deeply similar in all the ways that count, is a gift beyond measure.

Today, my heart doesn’t just celebrate being a mother; it celebrates the village of incredible women around me and the little souls who made it all possible. So much love to all. ✨

Feliz Cinco de Mayo from sunny EPCOT! 💃🍹 I Feliz Cinco de Mayo from sunny EPCOT! 💃🍹 

I loved soaking up the vibrant vibes in 2023 at the Mexico Pavilion with my favorite mermaid, Arielle! ✨ 

This little pyramid reminds me of the real deal I actually climbed in Mexico in 2000 – a trip I’ll always cherish with my sweet Nunny, who absolutely adored Mexico. ❤️ 

It’s funny how things change – I can still remember the charm of the original El Rio de Tiempo ride (anyone else?), and while we always used to make a beeline for Mexico first in World Showcase, these days you’ll likely find me saying “cheerio” over in the UK! 🇬🇧🇲🇽 

What are your favorite Cinco de Mayo traditions?
