My week as a romcom: Ashley, the effortlessly cool stay-at-home mom, slid back into her Chicago routine after two weeks of turkey, travel, and family chaos, as if she’d never missed a beat. Monday and Tuesday were daycare and co-working bliss, where she finally tackled the emails and blog drafts that had piled up like leftover pie. By Wednesday, the holiday magic kicked in with a multicultural music class—Miles shaking maracas to global jingles while Ashley swayed along, latte in hand, fully feeling the festive vibes. Thursday’s Little Book Club was a cozy moment before the evening’s pièce de résistance: a mom’s night out holiday party where she traded yoga pants for heels and laughed harder than she had in weeks. By Friday, she was back in mom mode with a morning playdate that made her grateful for strong coffee and good friends, followed by Santa photos that evening—Miles giving a perfect mix of excitement and side-eye that would make for the best Christmas card yet. Ashley couldn’t help but smile; it was good to be home, just in time for the most wonderful time of the year. LTKWatchNow LTKSeasonal LTKStyleTip
