“We live on just under an acre on the north end of San Diego County in an agricultural pocket about 15 minutes from the beach. It’s a hodgepodge neighborhood with a lot of greenhouses, random plots of land, and shacks and mansions all kind of thrown together. We like it because, as much as we love the city and the beach, we like having room to breathe more. We moved back to San Diego last spring after renovating an Oregon farmhouse on ten acres the previous nine months. I am currently a tired, old pregnant lady who is sick of moving, so I let my husband, Jared, take the reins on just about every detail in this house. Turns out I should’ve handed those reins over years ago."

“Sunshine, nice people, and the beach. I have pretty much constant wanderlust, but I like having a home base and I’ve finally recognized how good it is for our kids to have consistency. We kept our farmhouse in Oregon to help curb my almost insatiable need for frequent change."

“I guess I would say it’s a minimalist, slightly modern approach to French-country. Is that even a thing? We love the clean lines and open space that comes with modern design, but the structure of this home is warm with small, inviting spaces and we wanted to stay true to that."

“I’ve never understood what it means to decorate. It seemed like this mysterious thing going on that other women learned growing up and I missed out on, which I’ve always assumed is because I grew up poor and unrefined. This concerned me when I was first married, but I quickly gave up and just decided to buy things I really love. Jared and I love art, old books, plants, and a few antiques that hold personal meaning, so that’s what we work with. Part of the philosophy behind French-country design is passing down to the next generation, which we love because we are all about nostalgia and things made to last."

“Jared is a master at finding killer deals on original art on eBay. My favorite piece he’s found recently is of a peasant mother and her children above the sofa in our living room. It’s dark and moody but tells a beautiful story of family. We also have an 18th century French farmhouse dining table that I’m obsessed with. I love thinking of all the meals shared across it."

“Now that we finally have a playroom, we are a little nuts about keeping the toys in there. We clean it once a week and the rest of the home stays pretty clean because of it. I’m sure this will all fall apart when we have this fourth baby, but for now it’s worked nicely."

“I love that they’ll have each other. There’s a lot of security that comes with having siblings and generally a strong sense of belonging, so I’m excited to see those dynamics unfold. I also love being a parent with my husband. He makes everything fun and meaningful. With every baby I love him more and more. I’m the youngest of seven children in ten years and although it was Lord of the Flies crazy for most of my childhood, I am incredibly grateful to have so many amazing brothers and sisters to lean on and to learn from. Still, that did not inspire me to have a fourth. Honestly, I still can’t believe this is happening! Best and biggest surprise ever."

“一个女孩！只有所罗门对另一个女孩抱怨，但他来了。对于前三个月，他一直在抱怨/真正哭泣的是在这个星球上有太多的女孩。”

“自我的最后一次，这只是两年半的时间，但我觉得这次凌晨三十岁！一切都越来越难，但知道这是我的最后一位我需要的耐力。”

“像我们为＃4一样兴奋，我很确定完美的概念是唯一会发生的方式。”

“We have all three of our little ones share a room, even though we have empty bedrooms in this home. I think it’s my silent revolt against everything else in their world telling them they should have everything of their own. I’m sure we’ll eventually spread them out, but I’m holding onto these last few years of fitting three beds in one room and kneeling at the end of Frances’ toddler bed so I can reach each of them at the same time and watching each one slowly drift away while we read stories at night. We also have a little reading nook right outside of their room with all of their books. It’s still a work in progress, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how often I’ll find them there, quietly going through books on their own. It’s been so much better than having them mixed in their playroom."

“We have an old schoolhouse clock in their room that’s helped them learn to tell the time and a shelf with their favorite treasures from the ocean and our travels. Those are my favorite pieces, but functionally I love having a separate hamper for each of them in their room. Makes doing the laundry so much easier!"

“看到我的孩子学习新的东西。”

“看到时间经过的时候迅速。一般来说，我的意思是。它过去了一些日子。也是。慢慢地。”

“I know very few mothers who don’t impress me for one reason or another. I reject the notion that there are good moms and bad moms. There are good and bad drivers, good and bad hair stylists, dentists, even friends, and just about everything else, but those polars don’t really work when it comes to mothers, at least not any of the mothers I know. Every mom I know is doing the best she can and that is inspiring."

“I had a rather tumultuous upbringing, so in my haste to leave it behind me, I always thought I would reject it all and start fresh, but as I’ve gotten older and have not only seen my own weaknesses as a parent but also understood just how hard the whole business of raising children is, I’ve grown to appreciate and recognize the good and I’m doing my best to forget/not repeat the bad. My mother was a single mom to all seven of us at one point, so that pretty much makes her a saint just for surviving it, and she’s always been very loving. She still calls each of us a 'precious angel' in casual conversation, not just when she’s being sweet."

Simplicity Parenting is my favorite parenting book that I’ve read. I used to consume parenting books like some women consume fashion magazines, but I’ve slowed down in recent years in an attempt to listen to my own rhythm as a mother." ">

“简单育儿是我读过的我最喜欢的育儿书。我曾经像一些女人消耗时尚杂志消耗育儿书籍，但近年来我慢慢走了，试图称自己为母亲的节奏。“

“Lucy Mack，Solomon Hancock和Frances Pearl。他们都是家庭名称，他们每个人都有经过一代人通过的特殊故事。Jared和我一直喜欢给我们的孩子名字的想法，让他们成为一个感觉归属和纪念的东西。“

“It’s really easy to feel like you have something to prove to other people about the 'kind of mom you are' and maybe even yourself with that first one, but you don’t. You are worthy and you are good and you are meant for that little one and that little one is meant for you, no matter how it came to be."

“不采取分数，日期之夜，寻找伴侣中最好的，并关心他们的需求与自己一样。”

Solly Baby, a luxury baby carrier company and co-founder of ARQ, a high-end, ethically made children’s clothing company. Solly Baby is still very much my focus and it will always be my baby, but ARQ is a really satisfying space for me to explore creatively that helps keep both businesses very fresh for me. Thankfully Solly Baby is at a point that we have a small team that makes everything happen, putting me in much more of a director role rather than executor, and Abigail really runs the day-to-day at ARQ. We have also made really deliberate decisions with both business models to make sure they are scaleable in a way that doesn’t equal our lives being taken over by operations. That’s been huge for us and actually affords us an, overall, rather flexible schedule with a lot of time for family." ">

“我是创始人兼首席执行官孤独的宝贝，豪华婴儿载体公司和联合创始人ARQ.，高端，道德制造的儿童服装公司。孤独的宝贝仍然是我的重点，它将永远是我的宝贝，但Arq是一个非常令人满意的空间，让我创造性地探索，有助于让两个企业对我很新鲜。谢天谢地唯一的宝贝是一个人有一个小团队，使一切都发生了，让我更多的是董事角色而不是执行者，而Abigail真的在Arq的日常运行。我们还制定了与两种商业模式的决定，以确保它们以不等于经营所接收的生命的方式进行扩展。这对我们来说巨大，实际上为我们提供了一个，整体，相当灵活的时间表，为家庭提供了很多时间。“

“在使用偏头痛诱导的载体后让我感觉像我的第一个宝宝一样，我想要一些舒适和别致的东西与我的第二个宝宝一起穿，所罗门（我们也称他为”孤独“，”这是名字孤独的宝贝），所以我不仅可以最好地照顾他的需求，还可以追逐我的蹒跚学步。所以，我换了我的第一个包裹。我马上爱上了这个体验，开始让他们成为朋友。我老实说didn’t know I’d done anything different than other wraps on the market, but friends and family quickly told me I had, that mine was much lighter weight, more comfortable, and looked so good that it made it fun to wear. I turned it into an Etsy shop and grew it from there through social media with Jared coming on board a couple of years in and saving my sanity. I’m forever grateful to the early adopters and their sweet babies. That was a difficult time for our family and every image and blog post from these women equaled food on our table. ARQ began just two years ago when my brother’s wife, Abigail, an art school grad and self-taught seamstress who’d spent years making her family’s wardrobe, announced after almost a decade and three kids, that the time had finally come. I’d told her for years that whenever she was ready to create a clothing line I’d be ready to help in any way and I meant it. She’s truly a designer from conception all the way to the finishing stages of production and messaging behind each collection and the brand. I am so honored to be a small part in that process."

“我在德克萨斯州东南部一半的童年，一些在休斯顿，一些在一个小镇的一个小镇，在我们的后院和kkk举行了一个小镇的kkk。它在那里，我的父母在23年后离婚了，我们然后随身携带妈妈去犹他州，更接近她的姐妹们，以获得支持和新的开始。我通过大学生活在那里，我坠入爱河和贾里德，毕业于犹他州南部英语文学和通信学位，以及we had our first two babies. I worked with some independent filmmakers through school, but really didn’t have too much 'real work' experience before starting Solly Baby. Jared and his family are very entrepreneurial-minded and so that led to my quest to start a business I was passionate about and that would give me the freedom to still be at home with my babies. We stayed in Utah until Jared finished his degree from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and then, as he tried to figure out what he wanted to do and we saved money to keep Solly Baby afloat, we sold everything and moved in with his parents in California. That was a rough period as we were both a little lost at the time, but a year later we made it through the worst and I talked Jared into working with me full-time. From there we moved into a little 640-square-foot home by the beach and worked our hearts out on Solly Baby. Seven years of marriage, two babies, and two years into Solly Baby, finally, it felt like we’d arrived."

“我认为它不断变化，因为它们遇到了不同的阶段。我很容易成为一个工作狂，但是时间教会了我，没有什么比他们在一起。”

everything and it should never be wasted on things you don’t really care about. We often say no to what others would consider 'big opportunities,' because they aren’t things that we are passionate about." ">

“绝对。这让我意识到时间是一切并且它永远不应该浪费在你真正关心的事情上。我们经常对别人认为“大机会”的东西说不，因为他们不是我们热情的事情。“

“Although it technically doesn’t exist since the buck stops with me, so to speak, I’m hoping I’ll be able to take at least the first month nice and slow. With Frances, our third, I worked in the hospital while I was in labor and right after having her, but this time I’m hoping we’ve planned well enough that my work each day will only involve what I want it to. Jared is an amazing support in every way, so that makes things much easier. Our line of work focuses on the first six months postpartum, and having a baby is a natural time for me to connect with our product in a very genuine way and to share that experience with our community. It’s my favorite thing about our business, but also the most draining aspect at times."

“Between my mom having six other children and working a lot when I was growing up, I missed her terribly. As Solly Baby has grown and threatened to require everything of me at times, I have done my best to make sure my family’s needs are being met first. I can accept having regrets about my professional life, but not my family life. Jared and I have worked hard to create a lifestyle that allows for the both of us to have a lot of hands-on time with our kids and plenty of guilt-free working time, as well."

“多年来，我讽刺了”妈妈内疚“。我终于意识到它在文化和社会诱导中是多少，这显然是垃圾，并决定与真正爱和支持我和我们家庭的人围绕着自己。”

“Connecting with other women and seeing how our products at Solly Baby make the lives of caregivers easier and more meaningful. In the future, I’d like to write a book, but that feels scarier than running a business to me, so we’ll see how long it takes me to get there."

Elle wears Topshop jeans and a Hatch top. ">

“简单，低调，休闲，健康是最重要的事情......除了现在没有适合的东西！在成为一位母亲之前，我曾经爱过复古服装，制作自己的衣服，而且，一般来说，我很多more adventurous. I don’t have the time to sift through thrift store racks anymore and much less time to sew my own clothing, but I love finding small, responsibly made brands to support. That has been more challenging this pregnancy, so when I find good brands I love spreading the word."

Current/Elliot x Hatch maternity jeans and oversized tees that I can run around all day in but easily throw a sweater over and a clog or mule with to wear for a meeting or event. Also, all of my Storq dresses have been essentials this time around. As for designers, I love Everlane, Christy Dawn, Doen, First Rite, Rachel Craven, Rachel Comey, Ace & Jig, and Mimu Maxi. They each have a beautiful, unique aesthetic, they’re all transparent companies, almost all run by women, and they have a lot of intent and thought behind their designs. The things we buy tell a story about us and I like buying into their stories. My favorite maternity pieces are from Storq, Hatch, Topshop, and Jared’s closet!" ">

Dr. Bronner’s soap and coconut oil. My skin is incredibly sensitive and most soaps and lotions irritate it. Taking fish oil every day is essential for me to protect against breakouts. Tarte makeup is my favorite because the ingredients are so clean I can wear a lot, when needed, without it bothering my skin. I’ve loved Tubby Todd’s new Mama line for the rest of my body." ">

“快速地！布朗纳博士肥皂和椰子油。我的皮肤非常敏感，大多数肥皂和乳液会刺激它。每天服用鱼油对我来说至关重要，以防止突破。挞化妆是我最喜欢的，因为食材如此干净，在需要时，我可以穿很多，没有它困扰我的皮肤。我爱了Tubby Todd.新的妈妈在我身体的其余部分。“

“I’m usually a yoga person, but right now I do Pilates in the morning because it’s helped so much with aches and pains and I consider myself a pretty spiritual person, or at least I try to be, so I make sure I pray each day and that we pray as a family, as well."

“大多数在线，这意味着我的衣柜里有太多的东西，不适合正确，因为我在回归事情时很可怕！驱使我丈夫的邦克斯。”

East Asian Village Diner, Taco Stand, Darshan’s Bakery, Haggo’s Organic Taco, and French Corner are my favorite spots for eating and hanging out." ">
