Hello

I'm Larissa. You can usually find me sporting a wide-brimmed hat, with a baby on my back.

GENTLE PARENTING: I’ve had to remind myself to do this a lot lately... Narrate what your kids do. “Good job” is my husband’s favorite phrase. And I fall back on it often too, but children love validation in what they’re doing. Specific language about each activity, project, or action and how they’ve worked to achieve something (the process not the product) is key! Be as descriptive as possible! Just talk about what you see! .
.
Here are a few sentence frames to utilize when trying to implement this strategy:
01. “I noticed you...”
02. “It looks like you...”
03. “It seems like you’re feeling _____, I see that.”
04. “You worked hard to ______.”
05. “It looks like you’ve made a _______, tell me more about it!”
.
.
I grew up in an unhealthy environment parenting-wise so this is probably why I am very passionate about gentle parenting. But I want to reitaerate that this is NOT a natural skill. It’s very much a learned process, (my husband is trying so hard to train himself to talk more like this) so do your best each day! And don’t be too hard on yourself! Just do the best you can with it, and if it goes wrong, try again tomorrow! That’s the beauty of parenting, and everything really! Each day is an opportunity to start anew! 🍂

Sweaters and boots are in heavy rotation now as I transition my wardrobe to Fall! These are my new favorite boots. The Amalia from @nisoloshoes are menswear inspired and water resistant for rainy Autumn days! It’s the most perfect boot with jeans, leggings, and even dresses. 😍 They come in three colors! You can view them in my story! 🍂 #larissawears #gifted

Did you get chapped lips as a kid? I used to get them so bad when the seasons changed. Both my girls seem to need extra moisture for their skin (lips included) in this Autumn air! And to be honest, I’m picky about what I use on their skin. We’ve been using the @Matys All Natural Multipurpose Baby Ointment on their lips! This petroleum-free product is made with gentle ingredients like coconut oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E! The best part, however is that it’s CLOTH DIAPER SAFE! I’ve yet to find a product for diaper rash that works well with our cloth diapers so I was so excited to learn about this one! I shared more about it in my stories, too, so be sure to check it out at @walmart. #sponsored #matysbaby #wearallthebabies .

I didn’t know what a VSCO girl was until about two weeks ago. G has had her hydro flask since she was 22 months old (so like 2 years), and the other day the girl at the Dutch bro’s drive thru jokingly said, “aww so cute! She’s a little VSCO girl” (talking about her water bottle) and I was like “what’s that?” ...then I felt like I was 75 years old. So. 😆 anyone else age themselves somewhat frequently? 😬 (also, I’m linking this amazing hip pack in stories... it’s literally been the best mom accessory ever!)

Saturday ☕️ Are you a fantasy pumpkin type person or more of a traditional orange pumpkin lover? I’ve always loved the “Cinderella” pumpkins! We have a great local place that grows, harvests, and sells them for cheaper than Trader Joe’s! .
.
Also, sweater coats! They’re my new favorite piece for Fall! They’re light enough to wear if the temps get high in the afternoon, but perfect for those chilly mornings! I’m going to link to this one I’m wearing in my stories. ❤️ Have a fabulous weekend! #larissawears #coffeeandclothes
