My week as a romcom: Ashley, the effortlessly cool stay-at-home mom, started the week strong with daycare and coworking on Monday and Tuesday, knocking out her to-do list while enjoying the rare bliss of an uninterrupted latte. Tuesday afternoon brought a milestone moment—a fresh haircut for Miles, who somehow walked in a toddler and walked out looking five years older (why does it always happen like that?). Wednesday was all about rhythm and caffeine, with music class in the morning and a coffee date after, where she and a fellow mom bonded over both the joys and chaos of raising tiny humans. But Thursday threw a literal curveball—Chicago’s sidewalks turned into an ice rink, and with her still-healing sprained ankle, Ashley made the executive decision to stay home and avoid an impromptu sequel to Home Alone. By Friday, cabin fever was real, so a playdate and play school saved the day, filling their morning with laughter, toys, and just enough toddler antics to make her forget (briefly) that her ankle still wasn’t cooperating. Healing might be slow, but at least life wasn’t. LTKStyleTip LTKWatchNow LTKMostLoved
