Going through these photos brought back so many fun memories!!! I mean I know it wasn’t that long ago – so I shouldn’t say “brought back” haha but still so fun thinking about all these fun times. I loved Amsterdam so so much. Our first couple days there before heading to Ireland were so amazing. We didn’t have anything on our itinerary we just kind of wandered aimlessly and sometimes that is the best way to have a good and stress free time while in Europe. We walked around and explored, tried lots of Dutch food, Rosie had her first solids at a little restaurant, went to a museum, and mostly ran around the city with Atticus!! He was so fun and I loved watching him explore with his rosy cheeks. He loved waving and saying “buh bye!” to all of the people in the boats passing by and Rosie was so good and mostly just slept or observed. It was soooo much colder than I expected.. mostly just super harsh winds and I am such a baby with anything under 70 degrees. I was kind of thinking it would be warm so I am glad I at least brought a couple sweaters. I would sleep in this Mara Hoffman sweater it is sooo soft!!!! And so so cozy. Also I am craving dutch pancakes so so so badly!!! I have been without sweets or carbs for a week now (which feels like a year) and have a couple more days til I am going to have a lil treat!
Hope you have a great day! xo
Looks like such an amazing day! I’m looking for a jacket like Atticus’s for my family pictures. Do you remember where it’s from?
Hi Amber,
I am planning a trip to Amsterdam, I remember seeing in one of your snaps the hotel you stayed at, it looked really nice and was hoping to find the name in one of your posts but could not find it. Do you remember the name of the hotel you stayed in Amsterdam? Thanks! xox
I adore your sweater and A’s coat! Where is it from? I have been looking for a nice quality warm coat for my son.
your headband is darling! i can’t believe someone else hasn’t asked about it yet?? where is it from? love your sweet family.
Thanks so much!! It is from Zara!! xo
Hey Amber,
I was hoping you could tell me where you purchased the maturity swimsuit you were wearing on a PIN I just saw. It was a white one piece that had a big black leaf on the front. I looked through your older posts and couldn’t find it anywhere but on Pinterest. Do you remember where you got it? I love it and want it for myself this summer! Thanks for your help!
Hi Rose!! That swim suit was from Victoria Secret. I am not sure if it still available but I am sure they have similar styles. xo
Beautiful!
Thank you!! 🙂
Hey Amber,
So I just wanted to say that Jessica (Magalei) and I were just in New Orleans shooting a wedding together and we had a whole conversation about how we love your blog and how you definitely show that you make family your main priority! It’s obviously common knowledge that bloggers jobs are in advertising for companies, BUT we love that we never feel that your blog is all about consumption and more about motherhood! Although of course you do outfit posts because you are a fashion blogger, your posts don’t make us feel greedy and like we need more, more, more like many other bloggers. Your blog inspires us to be fantastic mothers (someday for me), and fantastic wives! Thank you for keeping it real and keeping it so EVERYONE loves viewing your social media, not matter their income :)! Also I’ve always been very impressed with how much work you have done to become successful! You deserve EVERYTHING you have! I know everyone can see that you are a genuinely good and kind person from your posts!
Thanks,
Whitney
Whitney!! Hi!! Thank you SO much for the sweetest comment!! You are too kind, and it totally made my night. I appreciate it so much!! Love ya!! xoxo
Hi Amber!
I’ve been loving your blog for the past year but have never commented before. Your photos are so beautiful and relaxing to look at. Would you ever consider writing a blog post about how you edit your photos/what your favourite steps in lightroom are? I’m going to Amsterdam (and a few other cities in Europe this summer) and your photos make me extra excited!
Cheers,
Kate

Hi Kate!! I am so glad you are following along 🙂 Thanks so much!! And I have had a lot of people ask, but I am not sure if I will make a blog post about it because I custom edit my filters so it’s hard to say. But thanks so much for the suggestion! Have a blast in Europe!! xo
Never get tired of fresh flowers: tulips and others in Amsterdam. Every little thing we do or see in a country we visit for travel is precious. I mean just simple coffee shop or beautiful blue sky with floating clouds xxx I think it is your third time there right? Since what I remember from all you posts I have read haha. What a life !
I know it!! Same here 🙂 And it was actually my first time!!! We definitely want to go back another time though, we loved it!!
hi there! what app and filter do you use to edit all of your photos on Instagram and here? and what are your favorite editing apps also? xoxox
Hi!! Yes! I use a program called Lightroom to edit photos and I also love VSCO filters 🙂
Hi!! I use a program called Lightroom to edit my pictures and I use VSCO on my phone. 🙂
I can’t wait to visit Amsterdam!!

Hi Amber,
My Boyfriend and I will stay in Amsterdam for 3 days this weekend. Do you have any tipps, ideas or something we have to see?
Your trip lookes so great and I hope we also have such fun and good days.
xo Charlotte
PS: I love this Mara Hoffman sweater *__* thinking of buying it after our Amsterdam days
How fun!! Have a great time!! 🙂 I think the highlight of our stay was going to the tulip festival, so I would definitely recommend that but there are a lot of amazing museums and things we would have loved to go to but hard with kids 😉 Tons of sightseeing and we just loved walking around town.
Sad I missed you in Amsterdam, My son and I would have loved to meet you and of course Atticus! You and your lovely family are a true inspiration ???? hope my boys (second one expected in August) get to see as much from the world as your kids do. AL the best wishes for you and your lovely family!
Hugs
We would have loved that as well!!! Hopefully we will be back 🙂 Thank you for the sweet comment!! I appreciate that!!! xo
Hey Amber! I love your blog and family!! I hope to have that in my future 🙂 I wasn’t sure if you’ve heard of this book “This little piggy went to prada” by Amy Allen I immediately thought of you!
much LOVE
-Serena
Thank you so much!! That means so much to me!! I appreciate it 🙂 And I haven’t!! I just looked it up and I think I need it!! Thanks for the suggestion! xo

Hi Amber! These pics are absolutely stunning. My friends and I ADORE you and your precious family. We are 16 and live in Atlanta but still are obsessed with all of your New York posts! I was just wondering what camera you use to take your pictures? Do you carry around a big one all the time, or just use your phone on the go?
xoxo
Hi Molly!! Thanks so much for the nice comment!! That is so sweet of you!! Tell your friends hi for me!! And I use a canon 5d mark iii for all my blog photos and most Instagram photos but I also use my Iphone 6s Plus. And yes, we pretty much take it everywhere and store it in our stroller 😉 But if I don’t have it on me, I will us my phone. I hope that helps!!
Hey Amber! I’m friends with Molly in Atlanta and as she said we are completely obsessed with ya’ll and your lifestyle!! I have just started photography and love all of the ideas we get from your photos of you and your sweet family. I am actually going to Amsterdam this summer I am so interested to see what yall do there–what was your favorite part? It’s so pretty!

Hey Amber!!!
I was wondering with you guys traveling to different countries, are there any places you haven’t liked or haven’t felt uncomfortable with the different cultures? I know with todays times you have to be careful in uncharted territories. Or have the locals been pretty friendly for the most part or your trips?
Also, I love the fact that you will be doing more beauty post!! YAY! However, I do like how in your beauty post, you keep it simple and fresh!!

I did no sugar for a week at the beginning of this month and since have been limiting my intake. I have such a sweet tooth, so was REALLY hard at first but honestly I feel so much better since cutting down my intake! I hope it has the same effect for you!
