Sweet sweet baby boy. ♥️ I just want to squish him into a big hug.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IYKYK

7 years! We’ve been married 7 years today! Here’s a snap from our wedding day & swipe to see some from the dating days!! 🤭💓🥰😊️😋😍 Ahhhh I thought we weren’t even that old rn but wow this trip down memory lane snapped me into reality! Is it safe to say that every baby you have adds 5 years on a girl? 🥴😋😝🤪 • Anyway, to set the dark and dreary scene, Christmas Day 9 years ago in Minnesota... it was the first Christmas with a broken family after just a really really tough year and I woke up totally lonely, depressed and devastated. A cousin was in town for the holiday, had no idea of my state, but called and asked where I was and begged me to come hang out with him and some friends. Thanks be to God I’m a true pushover and mustered up the strength to go, because I met Peter that night. I still cry every time I think about that day and my sweet cousin watching over me. It was truly one of the worst and then the best days of my life. 💔❤️ Peter and I didn’t chat that first night after a brief introduction but the following day I met up with the group again at a bonfire. We shared a laugh over the fact that my sweet little sister wore only a leather jacket to an outdoor occasion in Minnesota in the winter. Peter had generously gone to find an extra sweatshirt for her so she wouldn’t perish in the cold but couldn’t track her down again. [She did survive.] Anyway, we got to chatting right then and there and it basically continued for the next week with small breaks to eat and sleep. 😋 Then a quick goodbye as he left Minnesota for Maryland, followed by days and months of texting and calling and Skype and lots of trips between Maryland and Minnesota ...and then two years later, a wedding ...and then bam 💥 ...three kids and 7 years. 🤔🙃😉♥️ #minimalistmom #monochromemom #artistmom #artmom #momlife #organization #efficiency #monmo #babywardrobe #babyart #babyessentials #babygiftbox #newborngiftbox

As a follow-up to earlier: the no-spend year from Nov 2015 - Nov 2016 went well. There were expenses that came up unexpectedly, but unexpected expenses are expected, right? 😏 We caved a couple of times for non-necessities (but truly minimal, whew) and it was REALLYYYYYY hard to stick to in general. We didn't totally pay off our student loans, but we couldn't have if we gave 100% off our annual income to it, tbh. However, we DID tackle a huge chunk of them and came to be very prepared and motivated to tackle the rest. 🥳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I learned how to go shopping with friends and walk out of a store (or all of them) with nothing. Why is that so awkward? I learned how to determine the difference between wants and needs. There's a HUGE gray area, isn't there? I learned how to be okay with giving up some pride and independence for the overall and long-term goals of our family unit, and just buy the stinking groceries and feel okay about it! And I learned that with a big specific goal, we can make some cool things happen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now I want to know! Have you done a no-spend period? How did it go for you? Was it hard to stick to it? Have you wanted to try it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Favorite outfit combination from the box for my baby right now, no joke! Comfy, cozy, lotion infused, classy, basic and CUTE. I can't wash it fast enough!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Back when we had our first baby, my husband was working on getting his Master's degree and I was fresh out of four years. We rented a small one-bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Baltimore and had dreams of moving closer to friends and family an hour away. We decided I'd stay home with our daughter until we relocated to avoid putting down more roots. Soooooo, that meant single-income, student loans, new baby.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Naturally, as a stay-at-home-mom, I was in charge of the buying: food, clothing, baby stuff, all of it... and I struggled with having my own student loan payments, not bringing in income, and spending more. [Side note: my husband did not care. 😜] I had buyer's remorse even buying groceries. So I made a plan.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'd heard of people doing a no-spend month (or 3) where they don't buy anything except groceries for a specific amount of time. It was a pretty cool idea, except I noticed people I knew who did it just bought a bunch of stuff before the no-spend period started & then picked back up to normal spending afterward. I needed something bigger. I wanted to do something that was drastic, lasted longer and taught me life-long lessons.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I decided: It's a big goal and I have nothing to lose. I'll do a year. I did some research and outlined the parameters:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️goal: pay down student loans⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️consumables allowed (food/toilet paper/basic toiletries)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️gifts allowed (intentional and modest)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️social activities allowed (host dinners/coffee with a friend/etc.) [friends > budget. lol]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️travel allowed to see friends/family, no vacation type⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️approved list of future purchases that year: 1) next stage car seat for daughter, 2) clothes for growing daughter as needed, & 3) belt for husband *actual full list 😂- did not buy the belt⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ◾️start date: Jan 1, 2016 ... No, actually scratch the start date & start today to avoid pre-spending: Nov 2, 2015

We just cancelled our Amazon Prime membership a week ago! Eek! We’ve been Amazon users for 10+ years. (Remember when that’s where you’d go to buy college textbooks? ...or did that just age me?)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was one of those things where if you asked me a week earlier how I felt about Amazon and Jeff Bezos, I’d say, “They’re doing something right; I’m on board; I love it!” ..... Wellllll, then as a family we decided to take drastic steps to budget in anticipation for building our family home soon. It’s a big cost and decision and we want to make sure we’re good to go. So we’re putting together a minimum spend plan, and the ease of Amazon purchasing was the first to go.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you an Amazon member or have you been in the past? What’s your feelings on it?

@kj.flash did our family photos and I can’t get enough! My baby sat there with his tongue hanging out to her, something he’s been doing here and there the last month or so. Not sure if he’s teething or what but we were laughing so hard. 😆 So glad to have this captured in photos. ♥️ Side note, if you live in Maryland or Wisconsin, be sure to look Kysa up. We all had a blast. 🥰 📸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #minimalistmom #monochromemom #artistmom #artmom #momlife #organization #efficiency #monmo #babywardrobe #babyart #babyessentials #babygiftbox #newborngiftbox

Still a favorite meme. Coming up to a Christmas and a birthday like, “no toys are coming in until some of these go out!”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In all seriousness though, I try to involve my kids in parting with toys they no longer play with. I want them to cherish and be thankful for all the things they have, but not become too attached to things or hang onto things unnecessarily. Of course it’s so easy to get rid of broken toys or those with missing parts, but even those in nice shape... it’s much better to pass them on to someone who’ll get use out of them rather than having them sit on a shelf! I’ve found my kids play better when there’s less toys around anyway.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you see the toy experiment I did awhile back on my personal page @tonjarose? Have you done anything like this or have you wanted to try it? 😃 Since we moved, alllll the toys are back out, so I plan to start it over before Christmas or maybe after the New Year!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #minimalistmom #monochromemom #artistmom #artmom #momlife #organization #efficiency #monmo #babywardrobe #babyart #babyessentials #babygiftbox #newborngiftbox

I just looked back to see what I’d written for 2020 goals and it appears I had fairly realistic expectations, as the only ones I transcribed at the beginning of the year read: • Have a baby⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Survive⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So far, so good.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Who is looking forward to 2021?!?!?! I just cracked open a fresh black dotted Leuchtturm1917 and eeeeee! Never thought I’d be so excited for a new year. I love creating goals and mission statements usually and all that fun stuff, but boy if 2020 didn’t teach some lessons on planning for anything at all. 😜The last year was a blur with baby (the first year each kid FLIES BY, hey?). ...& Now I'm having a hard time really knowing how to plan for next year.

Life along Blossom Lane. ▪️ My husband switched jobs recently, so we moved. It’s an hour outside of Baltimore, a farm complete with boarded cows and sheep in more rural area, overlooking fields and water. We’re closer to the majority of our friends and my husband’s parents... a dream we’ve been holding onto since before we got married almost 7 years ago. It feels strange now having looked forward to this change for years! It’s a bit different than we imagined with the restrictions in place, but it’s still been pretty rad! 🥰♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #minimalistmom #monochromemom #artistmom #artmom #momlife #organization #efficiency #monmo #babywardrobe #babyart #babyessentials #babygiftbox #newborngiftbox

Life by design. The spaces we live in, the clothes we wear or share with our kids, the cars we drive, the phone you’re looking into, the systems of life that run our day to day... so much thought and tweaking has gone into the things around us to create a particular experience. Often the things we don’t think too much about are the most well-designed. Any of you out there design nerds?? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My husband is a mechanical engineer and I’m an artist (and into sociology) and both LOVE us some good design in anything around us. Efficiency, beauty, functionality. We totally geek out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you have around you that you LOVE the design of, big or small: something that makes life easier, makes you smile, whatever it may be!? I want to know!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When it comes to baby clothes, MONMO capsule focused on items of great design: quality, comfort, style, ease of use. We’ve got it all in a box for your baby. The feedback from our customers so far has been great! They love the items chosen for the boxes, even more than they thought they would.

These months have flown by. 🖤 6 month old baby, Kindergartener starting in a couple weeks. It feels so chaotic in the day-to-day but the small moments like this jolt me. 👆🏼 “Whoa girl, stop for a second and breathe this in! These littles don’t stay little forever.” I haven’t been very active on here lately but being my best self for my kids and husband has meant taking a little step back from my small biz, social media, the news and this phone. I pop in now and again, and appreciate the messages from those of you checking in! ♥️♥️♥️ xo

We followed the intense heat wave from Minnesota this last week/weekend back home to Maryland! This weather has been some 2020 type ISH. We were camping when a tornado missed us by a few miles, some of my family had lightening run across their feet and give them a good shock and we spent a good few hours huddled in the cabin (20 people and 3 dogs) watching the storm’s eerie intensity over the lake. I usually kinda like thunderstorms but I’m deathly afraid of tornados and strong winds. We had a regular thunderstorm in Baltimore last night and my fright and anxiety was real now after that Minnesota storm.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These towels are restocked!!!! Finally! If you are reading this and want one, DM me for a 10% off code for baby and toddler towels, just because it took so long to get them back up. 🥰🖤🤍⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babygift #babybox #babyset #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby #konmarifolding #filefolding

And just like that, my newborn is in a 6-9 month capsule! (I mean it was JUST February, right?? 😜) We took off to Minnesota and Wisconsin for a couple weeks to use up the rest of my husband’s paternity leave before it expired. We brought a pretty helpless 4.5-ish month old baby there and came back with a rolling everywhere, sitting, yelling, giggling, TOOTHY grin of a kid. Excuse me while I go cry! 😭 Anyway, he’s been grabbing for food and has those teeth I mentioned so I made some beans and carrots baby food for him tonight and as excited as he was to get it into his mouth, he was unimpressed with both. 😆 • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babygift #babybox #babyset #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby #konmarifolding #filefolding

Love me some good contrast. BTW, this outfit has been AMAZING. It fits so incredibly well, looks so nice on boys and girls, quality 2-way zipper, and it fits for a LONG time! My boy is starting to be in 6-9 month clothes and he’s continuing to wear this outfit in 0-3 months!! A customer gave feedback that this was her favorite for her girl too, commenting that it’s fit before and after the size stated (she got a 3-6 box). Amazing. 🥳♥️ I was thinking to carry this in a short sleeve as an add-on option, as well. Let me know if it’s be something you’re interested in and I might make it happen. ♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

I bet these two are all grown up since I took this photo! So crazy starting to see people a bit again. The babies change so quickly! 😭 Our little boy was baptized Sunday and it was so special to be back with some of our friends and family, even if we couldn’t hug and could only see each other’s eyes with the mandatory masks. 😭♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Whoa, shipping has been crazy the last few months! 🤭 I’m waiting on some items for newborn wardrobes... I placed the order April 2nd and it was finally ‘delivered’ June 1st... except it never actually came. 🤔 I checked our cameras on all surrounding days to see if it had been swiped and nope, they must have delivered the package to another address (or who knows). At this point, I’m betting they’ll never show, so I need to reorder those items! So that means no newborn wardrobes are available at the moment. I’ll update as soon as they’re back in stock! • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Reminder to self. ⬆️ All the quarantine/social distancing days are starting to run together and just when I think I feel well-adjusted... my head suddenly feels like it’s about to combust. Like any remaining energy dissipates and the “mom, mama, mama, mommy, mom...” just rings in my ears.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re planning a road trip to see some family next month and I think it made it worse for the short term because we cannot wait to get out of here. IS IT TIME YET? 😂 &Thinking about the possibility of leaving my dear children with my dad for a couple hours to sit with my husband in peace sounds like a dream!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my baby and I just after he was born... when Covid-19 was just threatening to breach our current ways of life but hadn’t taken hold yet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #momlife #momstruggles #lifein2020 #momlife2020 #monmo #babywardrobe #babyboy #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #babycloset #babybox #babyset #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

We have a beach day planned, rain or shine.

I finally got a bit of time to myself and crossed off some items on my massive to-do list. One of those: I finished my box of mending, including sewing up the piece of my daughter’s old gnarly bulky baby blanket I cut off and saved for her memory box. I strongly dislike sewing but for good quality items that I love and have a good amount of use left in them, I’ll absolutely take the time to mend before I take the time to shop for a replacement.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you mend things at your house or get rid of items if they get a hole, etc.?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babygift #babybox #babyset #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby #konmarifolding #filefolding

When you really want some tall Athleta joggers but the black is out of stock... you caught me again in some color. A friend came to visit from out of state earlier this year and she was laughing, “wow... I knew you liked black and white but you really live it!” It’s true. It’s not 100% over here in terms of interior design since we rent and still have most of the random things we obtained in college and wedding gifts. Ever so slowly though, as I replace broken items or buy anything new, I choose black or white. So it’s TAKING OVER. I grew up in a white walled minimally styled Midwest four square home... I’ve loved all white everything with some meaningful color since I was a little girl. Something about the clean slate makes me feel calm and centered... and I like to add in color in just the special or happy things I can swap out, like art, momentos, pictures or if I’m lucky, fresh flowers! 💐 ♥️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ •⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Each box is packaged with these mama hands and includes lots of breaks tending to the three littles here. 😅 I have been wanting to capture a time lapse of packaging (because business behind-the-scenes are my personal favorite) and I finally got the chance to set up this time. Here I’m putting together a 0-3 month capsule wardrobe so it’s ready to ship and it took about 20 minutes in real time. 🤭 I don’t have a lot of storage space so I put together a box immediately after I ship another out. I have everything pre-sorted, but double check everything as I put it together, then check everything again before I ship out, because we have mama brain over here and I don’t want to miss a thing! • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

6-9 month capsule, from up top. This one has a 3-piece outfit included. It’s designed so the pants and sweatshirt work with the other outfits. &The outfit possibilities are endless! I love to use these basics and toss in a fun find or a cute pacifier clip to give the outfit more personality... Like maybe a mini neon yellow crew neck to throw over that black parade organics playsuit with the white zipper to match mom.... (but actually, if anyone comes across something like that, holler! 😆) ...or a pair of Purl Lamb food print sweatpants to go with the pullover? 😜 I’m obsessed with my black and white, but I do love a good obnoxious statement piece here and there as well! 😅 • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

I’ve been interested to see if my baby will be intensely scared of people when we finally go out again. This little guy is nearly 3.5 months and he hasn’t met most of our family nor the friends we used to see on a weekly basis! I know it’s normal to start to have some stranger danger at 4-6 months but this might be next level! Those with babies, how are you feeling? And otherwise, how have your kids adjusted? 🖤🤍 • PS ▪️ I LIVE in these Walmart nursing tanks. They’re terribly unflattering but practicality is 10 out of 10 and I’ve bought so many, only to come back to these with each baby, so I’m scared to buy any more. Which do you love?? • PPS ▪️ This classic @carters sleeveless bodysuit is also 10 out of 10. • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

I’m a blogger now guys! I’m kidding, I’m kidding. But I did write a post on organizing printed photographs. A post on scanning photos is coming next. I was trying to write one all-encompassing post on digitizing photos, but it felt messy and confusing... so I split it up into a couple parts: organizing first, then scanning and uploading, etc. (and I’ll have one on scanner settings, too). When I started this project for myself, I couldn’t find simple clear steps online, so I decided to dive in and figure out an efficient system and then write a tutorial myself. It’s not rocket science but it can be extremely overwhelming to start, so hopefully you can be inspired to dive into this project if you’ve ever considered it before. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I also made a landing page for my website that I’ve put in my bio now. Might switch it back to my website homepage but I’m trying this for now.

This baby is mine. 🥰 He’s a gem and let me take photos of him yesterday. For having tried my hand at the photography thing for a few years, doing a number of weddings and whatnot, I have to say photography is the most dreaded task of this small business! I don’t even know why, because it always goes just fine. My favorite task is probably coming up with photo/graphic and content ideas, though!

A slight grimace for the uncertainty the world holds right now? Anyone else on a roller coaster of emotions as the days go by? I keep getting worried, then thinking everything will be fine, then having a hard time not seeing my friends and family and doing my usual postpartum rituals, then feeling guilty for feeling bad when so many other people are being affected so much more by the disease directly or its effect on the economy, jobs, etc. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Personally, it’s been kinda tough to navigate postpartum life. It’s OKAY. By God’s grace, we’ve managed here for the most part. Some days get a bit hairy. After my second child, I felt like I had enough tools in my tool belt to tackle taking care of a third baby, my family and my mental health. Of course, with this strange turn of events, most of my specific coping mechanisms can’t happen... and getting sleep is harder with three kids than two, turns out. 😏 Here’s what specifically has worked for me previously but I need to find alternatives for: 1) Adequate sleep. House can wait... if kids are fed and in a safe space, naps need to happen. I’m a better mom then while I’m awake, 2) leaving the house almost daily with the kids to curb postpartum anxiety specifically (I’d go to the library mostly), 3) regular early morning exercise at the gym listening to podcasts, and 4) Tuesday night out to Starbucks to draw or work (productivity and happiness are directly correlated for me). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, I want to know: what have YOU done to take care of yourself postpartum or if you have a baby now, how are you coping? • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

3-6 month capsule wardrobe for the win! Did you see my stories the other day on how we’re currently using this wardrobe? It’s saved in highlights! • • Spoiler: this set is our foundation for the size and I saved my favorite pieces from when our 3-year-old boy was a baby to finish it out! It’s one drawer, not very full at all and he’s got more than enough clothes to last him to the next size. Instead of hand-me-downs, you can just have fun finding a couple trendy, seasonal pieces to round out the wardrobe and you’ll be good to go! • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Coming in with a @monmostudio ✖️ @monmocapsule line drawing. 😉😃 I was contemplating the last time I exercised this art form and if it was college sophomore year’s Drawing 1001, that’d be 8 years ➕.

We’re kicking our feet up today but wishing it was in the company of all our friends! What are you up to this beautiful Sunday? How are you feeling today? • • One of our faves (okay, all of our products are our faves) is this versatile, neutral, minimal patterned wondersuit. 🤍 It’s so comfy and cozy for staying at home, and it’s beautiful for going out... if we were allowed to do such a thing! 🏡 (except actually 🏠 because no tree here anymore 😅) • • • • • ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

We had a tree fall across the front of our house this morning, blocking our entrance like an extra quarantine measure. It happened moments after I told my husband how I couldn’t sleep with this wind we had, worried a branch would come through our window any moment. He assured me the wind sounds worse than it really is. This reassurance was followed by a loud thud and scrape across the house, and the tree that had been waving violently moments before was no longer in sight... just a few measly branches sticking up at the bottom of our 2nd story bedroom window. We stood there in shock for a bit and then ran down to access the damage. Luckily, only a couple gutters were slightly bent, as well as our already-on-their-way-our front hedge bushes. After all the excitement wore down, I realized I’d left my eager barely-3-year-old holding the baby on our bed. I ran up and he was still there, struggling to keep the wiggly little guy up, and he says, “Don’t worry mom, I’m taking care of Nolan!” 😅 • • Pictured: We love our @softsie goods in this house. 🖤 I wish you could reach in and feel this soft lotion-infused fabric. It’s the reason why every one of our wardrobes includes a piece from this brand! • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

How many of you have toddlers? What are some activities you’ve tried (or been wanting to try) to keep them busy while you’re stuck at home? 🖤🏡 🤍 Bonus if it’s screen free!

Why is MONMO different? This is not your typical baby boutique! The vision for MONMO is to provide a full collection of carefully chosen clothes for your baby, AKA capsule wardrobe. Here’s some things to know: ▪️there’s one option for each size up until age one ▪️they’re curated so a variety of styles are included and they all look great together ▪️the monochrome style works for both boys and girls ▪️they’re designed to work for the developmental stage for each age ▪️all items included are essential, there’s not fluff or extras, just the minimalist basics ▪️there’s extra items not considered ‘essential’ offered as add-ons to the wardrobes • • Question for you: Who here is into minimalism to some degree? Who here just likes the idea of having the basics already purchased so you don’t have to worry about searching them out? Or who is just here for cute clothes? 💕 • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby #konmarimethod #firsttimemom #konmarifolding #konmariemethod #mariekondostyle

Hey, it’s me... well that’s last summer me before kid 3, back when we were free from the confines of this disease and if I could only get to the beach you know I’d freeze and if I could be this tan I’d be mighty pleased but I match the color of the waves at the beach right now and these days I feel like a cow dressed in my black and white and how I nurse all day and bow down to pick up mess and toys from my girl and my boys and I graze and laze and pray it’s just a phase. Anyways... • I make up songs and rhymes like twice a day for whatever I’m doing at the moment ... so when this turned into what it is, it only made sense. 🤷🏽‍♀️ • • • • • #fridayintroductions #fridayintroduction #smallshop #marylandsmallbusinessowner #smallbusinessowner #smallbusiness #smallshops #smallbusinessesmatter #smallbusinesses #smallbusinesslife #shopowner #momownedbusiness #mamaownedbusiness #mamaowned #momowned #minimalistmom #minimalistmoms #minimalistmama #monochromemom #monochromiehomie #monmocapsule #monmostudio

I CANNOT TELL YOU how sad I am that I didn’t have these items set up for me with my first two kids! We’re in the thick of this 0-3 month capsule wardrobe over here and this set is spot on. I knew it was but now we’re living it and loving it! And I love that I can snap photos of the little guy in these clothes and pop a preset on and they’re basically all baby announcement worthy. 😆😉 ... but actually. • Clothes with my first two were such a chore and I couldn’t figure out where to shop to find good quality items that looked cute, washed well and fit right! This time, it’s no problem and it’s been so fun!! 😍 • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Simple is efficient, simple is beautiful. Monmo strives for simplicity with the capsule wardrobes: there’s no seasonal items or shoes or pacifiers or pacifier clips in the boxes. There’s no extra things some people use but others don’t. It’s simple: just the essentials within the main box, that can be worn year round. • MONMO is for the moms that don’t want to fuss with the hassle of searching out good quality and beautiful clothing just to waste their time and money in the quest. For the mom who is busy with work, busy creating their home haven for their family, busy traveling or simply busy snuggling and making memories with their children. No hassle, no headache, no indecision. It’s everything you NEED for your new little one right here in a box ... and it’s fantastic. • We know there’s a bunch of amazing items out there beyond what’s offered here but we’ve picked out of the best and curated it so everything works together. Again, no hassle, no headache, no indecision. It’s right here and it’s fantastic. You can’t go wrong. • • • • • #monmo #babywardrobe #babygift #babybox #babyclothing #infantclothing #unisexbabyclothing #neutralbabyclothing #babybasics #minimalistbaby #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromebaby #monmocapsule #unisexbabygifts #babygiftsets #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babycloset #babyclothes #babygift #babybox #babyset #infantclothing #babyessentials #babygiftideas #babygiftset #babyessentials #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby

Hey! I’ll be taking a phone/social media breather for a bit over here to reset and focus on my kids in the midst of this virus and our latest family changes! This new baby/lack of sleep thing is kicking my butt and having my preschooler home as well has been a huge transition for all of us, especially now with not being able to get out and about freely. I need to focus for a minute! Hope all you other mamas (and dads and each and every one of you) are faring well out there in this confusing chaotic time!! 🖤 Hugs!!! • • If you have any questions for me regarding MONMO, feel free to email me at hello@shopmonmo.com. I’ll be checking my email daily and will be returning here periodically to post and respond to messages until I feel grounded at home once again.

How many outfit combinations can you make from one capsule wardrobe? Swipe over to see a bunch of combinations I pulled together from the 9-12 month box! These boxes were curated in a way that the bodysuits, socks, booties, blankets, etc. work with every outfit. The 6-9 and 9-12 month capsule wardrobes are special in that they include two piece sets that can be mixed and matched and layered. 🖤 • • • • • #monmocapsule #minimalistmom #monochromemom #babycapsule #babycapsulewardrobe #babywardrobe #newbaby #babygift #minimalistbaby #monochromebaby #minimalistwardrobe #minimalistbabyclothes #babybasics #babyessentials #monochromewardrobe #babyoutfits #smallbusiness #marylandsmallbusiness #baltimoresmallbusiness #babyboywardrobe #babygirlwardrobe #babyboygift #babygirlgift #unisexbaby #unisexbabyclothes #babyclothing #babyboutique #babyboutiqueclothing #shopbaby #babyclothes

We’re really putting these capsule wardrobes to the test now and loving it! Dressing my baby has never been so effortless and we have everything we need. 👏🏼🖤 I knew the items were bomb but this has been way better than the experience with the last two kids.

There’s a new little boy added to the MONMO crew. He’s been a gem so far, although breastfeeding is always a hurdle in the beginning as the body adjusts!

Well, I thought I’d have a baby yesterday but I’m still here and I’m feeling back to normal today so time for an introduction for the newer followers! 😆 Here’s a morning selfie of me and my crew. 🥰 • ▪️Hey, I’m Tonja, the owner of @monmocapsule. I’m a rural Midwest plains girl transplanted to east coast city life and I’m loving it. I stay at home with my two kids, 5 and 2, where I stay busy with them, art and creative projects, and this capsule wardrobe passion project venture. ▪️ • I love simplification and efficiency, organization, Marie Kondo, white and black, a good crispy vegetable stir fry, getting deep into a drawing and forgetting about the world around me, and snuggles from little arms. I’m pretty indoorsy but if there’s a good friend to join me outside, I’ll oblige. We spend nearly every weekend away from home (for the last 6+ years) and it’s been good for me (I’ve learned a lot), but it’s also been hard to do. I’m pretty uptight about my own productivity and hate that about myself, but productivity = happiness for me so I try to accept that it’s just how God made me. 😆 I can be pretty awkward irl but I love people a LOT for whoever they are. For some reason I’m not very critical or I don’t notice flaws for a long time and I don’t hold a grudge very well ... which makes me feel pretty vulnerable tbh, so I dislike that about my personality! • Head over to my stories and I’ll post a question box! Let me know if you are curious about anything in my life or this business. ☺️ • Thank you everyone here for your interest and support!! I appreciate every sale and message and comment and like so much! 🖤

Who struggles with organizing their baby clothes? You know, alllll the little items of all the various sizes you’ll be using in a truly short period of time.

Print it out, cut it out and even laminate it if you’d like. Between her and I, you’ll not only have the rudest wardrobe for your baby boy or girl, but it will be organized so well you’ll never miss an outfit as your little one grows. • Go check out @dakotahuntstudio’s Etsy shop to see how perfect this solution is for organizing your baby’s wardrobe and then head over and grab a wardrobe box on my website!

I polled to see how many of you had tried Turkish towels and was surprised at how many haven’t! They’re incredible. They take up much less room than a regular towel and absorb water wonderfully. MONMO is all for saving space and keeping functionality, so when it came to adding towels to the shop as basic add-ons, it was a no-brainer on which ones to include. There are two sizes available: the infant hooded towel for 0-1 year old and the child poncho to grab at the end of your baby’s first year, to last until they turn 6! More info in highlights. 🖤 • • • • • #babybasics #kidstowel #capsulewardrobe #HouseofJude #minimalisttowel #turkishtowel #babytowel #babycapsule #babywardrobe #minimalism #monochrome #busymom #simplefamilies #simpleliving #genderneutralbaby #favoritebabyclothes #babygear #blackandwhite #greyscale #grayscale #monochromeclothes #monochromebaby #stylesimple #babymusthaves #monochromebabywear #babymonochrome #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromewardrobe #monmocapsule #monmo

▪️Did you know there’s a multi-year backstory on how MONMO capsule came to be? • I would get so overwhelmed by the shopping process every time my kids grew another size: thrift shopping, online shopping, trying to trek through stores with my tots in tow, and then somehow having too much of some things and not enough of others, adorable pieces with no outfit to which they go, ill-fitting items, poor quality items, then piles of laundry, stuffed drawers... you might know the drill. • When my firstborn was 3 months old, I was already becoming fed up with the mess. I wanted to be able to buy a set of clothes for my daughter that was simple, looked cute, fit well, was of good quality, and supported a few mama owned-small shops. ... Crickets! There was nothing out there. • In my search, though, I discovered the world of "capsule wardrobes," a term coined in the 1970s by a London boutique owner named Susie Faux. She defined the capsule wardrobe as "a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces," for women. I decided to put it to the test, baby style. Through the next few years, I tried various methods of shopping for my daughter, and then my second baby, a little boy. I based the kids' wardrobes around good-quality unisex items so I could continue using them with my next babies, then added gender specific and fun pieces to finish it out. • This last fall, after 3 years of learning and testing and thinking, I started telling friends about my capsule wardrobe idea, and with lots of help and encouragement, I officially started this project. Since then, I have been polling moms near and far to learn about their favorite baby clothing items to put together my first mini capsule wardrobes, available for sale now. • These first wardrobes are unisex monochrome and come in sizes ranging from newborn to 12 months. I have gathered the perfect mixture of clothing items, packaged them up and have a limited quantity left ready to ship. The next step is a larger restock, coming soon! 🖤

MONMO is now a House of Jude retailer! We love their signature Ebony Turkish towels with the bold lines, and it fits perfectly with our capsule wardrobes. A cozy and comfortable towel is a definite necessity when your little one arrives. 🖤 • • • • • #babybasics #kidstowel #capsulewardrobe #HouseofJude #minimalisttowel #turkishtowel #babytowel #babycapsule #babywardrobe #minimalism #monochrome #busymom #simplefamilies #simpleliving #genderneutralbaby #favoritebabyclothes #babygear #blackandwhite #greyscale #grayscale #monochromeclothes #monochromebaby #stylesimple #babymusthaves #monochromebabywear #babymonochrome #babycapsulewardrobe #monochromewardrobe #monmocapsule #monmo

I haven’t shared much about me here yet so here’s some very random tidbits about me you could probably live without, brought to you by the #socialcuratorchallenge: I’m Tonja and, 1. I hate cold shoulders. Figuratively, yes, but more importantly, literally. I probably spend 75% of my shower putting one shoulder under the steamy water, and then switching when the other gets too cold, and plan to design a future shower of ours in a way that solves that cold shoulder problem. 2. I’m a self-preservation 3 on the enneagram which is ‘The Achiever.’ The SP3 means I work hard to achieve a sense of security (for myself to be self-sufficient and for others), I’m outwardly calm and organized but have anxieties underneath. I like to solve problems and get things done in a high quality way. I’m concerned about my image and get value from what other people think of me but absolutely hate that I care about that. I have a high need to be high-qual and succeed in everything I do but fear being a failure in all of my existence. Also, I want to bring others up and support them to achieve as well. 3. I can swim and do sometimes but I’m scared of water and rarely enter the ocean. Basically only do if it’s calm and clear (and warm) ... Like I haven’t gone into the ocean by us past my waist for sure, if even that far. 4. I used to read constantly but now I’ve read only 5 full books since graduating college 5.5 years ago: a Louis L’amour book, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo(Konmari), Mindhunter by John Douglas, and 2 sci fi (Awakening by C.M. Aitken and The Emperor’s Soul by Brandon Sanderson). And have started Daring Greatly by Brené Brown (like a WHILE ago, oops).
