Today we are talking to Kim Davis of OH SWEET JOY about motherhood! Kim lives with her husband, Chase and son Knox in Colorado. Kim writes a lovely blog filled with daily inspiration and also makes headbands (some of which we sell HERE at Gypsy Threads!) and she also has a shop of her own!
HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU HAVE AND WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES/AGES?
One, his name is Knox and he is one year old!
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT BEING A MOM?
The snuggles at night and the joy (and coffee) filled mornings.
WHAT IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS ABOUT BEING A MOM?
The lack of sleep really threw me for a loop this past year, but i think it's hardest to find grace in yourself in the midst of trying to do "all the things"
HOW HAS YOUR PERSONAL STYLE CHANGED SINCE BECOMING A MOM?
YES. I've definitely been more bohemian inspired. I felt super matronly in all of my retro and classic dress silhouettes while losing the baby weight. So I've resonated with and been drawn to the headbands in my shop and flowy kimono-like layers. It hides the muffin top and still gives a fun silhouette!
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO A "SOON TO BE" MOM?
I was told so many times to "sleep when the baby sleeps" but I am NOT a napper, so it was impossible for me. As long as the advice was solicited, I'd tell the "soon to be" mom to "soak it up." Soak up the tiny moments and soak up time with your husband. Soak up the giggle and soak up the time you're able to sit and rest. Soak up the quiet too, because it's about to get LOUD when that baby gets a little older! HA!
WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MEMORIES WITH YOUR CHILD SO FAR?
Oh gosh. Being able to stay at home with Knox has lent itself to So many memories. One of my favorite memories that is etched into my mind from this past year are all of the tickle fights and giggles before bed. Chase seems to be able to get Knox to giggle the BEST giggle and belly laugh and it's always nice to head into our bedtime routine with big smiles on our faces.
Thank you Kim! Baby Knox is simply beautiful. We love all your thoughts on being mama!
XOXO
