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!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Quiet on the set, darlings. 🥂💻 I missed The Trait Quiet on the set, darlings. 🥂💻

I missed The Traitors last night, and I am currently in a state of high-stakes catch-up.

Consider this my formal warning: Do not call, do not text, and for the love of all things velvet and dramatic, NO SPOILERS. If you ruin the banishment for me, I’m voting you off the island—or at least out of my group chat.

I’ve got my champagne, my cozy spot, and a burning need to know who’s being “banished” next. See you on the other side of the Highlands! 🏰✨

Sometimes the most beautiful parts of motherhood a Sometimes the most beautiful parts of motherhood are the ones we’re holding closest to our chests right now. 🥂✨

Watching Aurora walk down this red carpet, my heart was doing backflips—not just from the excitement, but from a mama’s private prayer that she’d feel as steady as she is brave.

We’re navigating some new chapters behind the scenes, and seeing the world meet her with such quiet, intuitive grace brought me to tears. Minnie didn’t just pose for a photo; she saw a little girl who needed a steadying hand and gave it without a second thought.

It’s a reminder that even when the path feels a little shaky, there is always someone ready to help you find your balance. Holding this memory—and my girls—extra tight tonight.

Share this with a friend who needs a little reminder that magic is everywhere. ✨

The Boots Understood the Assignment 🪩✨ In a city The Boots Understood the Assignment 🪩✨

In a city of salt-stained bricks and winter layers, sometimes a girl just needs a champagne coupe and a theater seat. 🥂

Last night, we swapped the “everyday” for the “extraordinary” at the Citizens Opera House. Kinky Boots is a rock’n’roll anthem to being exactly who you are, and honestly? My silver boots felt right at home. 🎸💎

Boston, go see this show - it’s at the Citizens Opera House through February 22. 🎭

It’s heart, soul, and a whole lot of high-heeled attitude.

Are you a “sensible boots” or “sparkle boots” kind of person?  I think you know my preference! 💋

POV: I finally traded the Boston slush for a tropi POV: I finally traded the Boston slush for a tropical rainforest… or did I? 😉

If you’re currently doom-scrolling through everyone else’s St. Barths stories while staring at a mountain of laundry and a gray February sky—breathe. I’ve got the ultimate stylish hack for my fellow “forgot-to-book-a-flight” mamas. 🥂

We’re trading the suburban puffer coats for 72 degrees of pure, neon bliss at the Orchid Adventure at Franklin Park Zoo. 🌺

It is a total mood shifter. Imagine thousands of stunning blooms, lush greenery, and gorillas lounging in the warmth—all wrapped in a gorgeous Victorian naturalist vibe (think: ornate curiosity cabinets, vintage shells, and 19th-century glam). It’s very Holly Golightly goes on safari, and I am here for it. 🐆✨

Whether you’re hunting for orchids or just hiding from the wind chill, it’s the perfect way to level up school vacation week without the airport stress. 🥂

The Details:
🗓️ Orchid Adventure runs through March 1st
📍 Franklin Park Zoo, Boston
🌡️ Tropical Forest Pavilion (It’s cozy, bring the layers!)
🎟️ Scavenger hunts & workshops included in admission

Go for the warmth, stay for the sparkle. ✨

Going for the Gold in “February Break Survival.” 🥇 Going for the Gold in “February Break Survival.” 🥇⛷️

I’ve got the outfits planned and the itinerary set, but as we head into the chaos of school vacation week, I’m realizing I might need an Olympic-level trainer. How do these athletes do it?!

If you’re looking for a place to pivot from “Mom Exhaustion” to “Alpine Chic,” head to the Frostival Lodge in Copley Square. Aurora and I stopped by last week to escape the chill, and it’s a total vibe. 🇮🇹❄️

Think: Italian Alps meets Boston grit. You can grab @eatalyboston treats, relax in a shoppable @Wayfair lounge, and watch the final Olympic events on the big screens. It’s the perfect “Gold Medal” moment for parents and kids alike.

📍 Where: Copley Square
When: Open daily from 11 AM - 9PM, February 6th - February 28th
🏆 Special Event: Closing Ceremony Watch Party on Feb 22nd!

TELL ME THIS: If Parenting was an Olympic sport, which event are you taking the Gold in this week?

🥇 The 100m Dash to the School Bus
🥈 Synchronized Nap-time
🥉 Heavy Lifting (aka the double stroller)

Let me know in the comments! 👇
