What I’m wearing as a stay-at-home mom in the city

Tuesday in Chicago, our cool city mom steps into navy-and-white striped linen pants and a trusty denim vest, her favorite sneakers ready for anything, gold hoops swinging gently, her herringbone necklace catching the light, and her single remaining permanent bracelet clinking softly as she navigates the day. The morning started with pure joy, trains chugging and guitar riffs echoing as her son jammed away before daycare drop-off, but the energy shifted quickly as she rushed home to take her dog to the vet after a sudden decline in health. Wiping away tears, she tried to dive into work, only to be repeatedly derailed by phone updates from the vet, while the flood of photos and videos of her son laughing in music class highlighted the stark contrast between their moods. She does her best to stay positive, to find her footing amidst the worry, but sometimes life just insists on testing the heart, and even a cool city mom can feel the weight of it all.

Monday in Chicago, our cool city mom slips into navy pleated shorts and a green-and-navy striped top, her favorite sneakers ready to carry her through a slow-but-steady return to routine, gold hoops glinting in the morning light, her herringbone necklace and stack of permanent bracelets—minus the one that broke off last night, now added to her ever-growing to-do list—clicking softly as she walks. After a whirlwind week in Disney where posting daily outfit photos (or, let’s be honest, anything at all) went out the window, followed by a sinus infection that laid her flat until antibiotics arrived, she’s finally back among the living—only to be hit with news from her podiatrist about her oddly shaped ankle bone that explains the slow healing of past injuries. Who knew? At least there are answers now, so she takes a deep breath, adjusts her bracelets, and keeps moving forward, one carefully measured step at a time.

Tuesday in Florida finds our cool city mom navigating the wonders of the Kennedy Space Center in navy pleated shorts and a navy-and-white striped top, her favorite sneakers keeping pace with toddler-sized footsteps, gold hoops catching the Florida sun, and her herringbone necklace layered with her graduated rope necklace, bracelets clinking as she points out rockets and space shuttles. Between awe-filled toddler squeals and photo ops with towering rockets, she’s effortlessly stylish yet totally practical—because even in outer space-adjacent adventures, a mom’s got to look good while keeping up with a little explorer whose excitement is truly out of this world.

Between tag-teaming with three other adults to corral her toddler, who’s mostly charming and surprisingly cooperative, they somehow make it through Ubers, security, and flights, landing exhausted but buzzing with excitement, ready to swap skyscrapers for sunshine—even if she’s already dreaming of a quiet cocktail before bedtime.

My week as a romcom: Ashley’s week in Chicago could’ve been lifted straight from a romcom montage—equal parts hustle, sparkle, and heart. Monday started grounded, catching up on blog work and a mountain of emails that had stacked up over the weekend. Tuesday brought a little extra shine: a Zoom call with the Nic + Juniors team to fine-tune Chicago Literary Salon plans, a physical therapy session to keep her ankle in check, and then a dreamy evening cruising the Chicago River and Lake Michigan on a sunset boat tour with the Friend of a Mom Book group—laughter, city lights, and a breeze that felt like freedom. By Wednesday, Eric was finally back from his work trip, and Ashley balanced the practical and the indulgent: tackling her to-do list between a massage, a call with a potential sponsor, and an ankle ultrasound (because even romcom leads need doctor’s orders). Thursday was less glamorous, spent mostly in front of her computer, broken up only by another PT session. But Friday ended on a high: a lunch meeting with an author to brainstorm ways to make the Chicago Literary Salon truly magical, followed by Miles’ fresh new haircut—proof that even the busiest weeks can tie up with a perfectly heartwarming bow.

The day is mostly spent at her computer—except for daycare drop-off, pick-up, and a quick stop at physical therapy—but she’s powering through, crossing items off her to-do list, and organizing the upcoming events for the Chicago Literary Salon with that perfect mix of hustle and cool, proving that even a “stay-home” day can feel like a mini triumph.

The morning starts with her husband off to work with the stroller tucked in the trunk, leaving her to walk—and sometimes carry—her son to daycare, only to remember mid-stride that it’s water day and he desperately needs a swimsuit, prompting a mad dash back home. Somewhere between the swimsuit change and the trek to daycare, she pulls a muscle in her back, but a quick session at physical therapy lets her start addressing it before the day spirals further.

A quick outfit refresh later, she was off to physical therapy to coax her ankle back to full strength, before tying up loose ends on her laptop and heading out for the best part of her day: scooping up her little guy for an evening filled with hugs, giggles, and probably a very dramatic reading of Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site.

The occasion? A breezy, firework-kissed night out with Friend of a Mom at Chef Art Smith’s Reunion, where Southern comfort food and Chicago skyline views made the midweek feel like a mini vacation. She sipped a welcome cocktail, grazed on charcuterie and tuna tartare, passed plates of buttermilk fried chicken and tomato pie, and saved just enough room for hummingbird cake (because obviously). And while the mashed potatoes were dreamy, it was the post-dinner pier walk under a glittering sky with new friends who already felt like old ones that sealed the magic.

An impromptu lunch with mom friends and their littles turned into a much-needed midday laugh fest, followed by a quick stop to shop before heading home for naptime grading and, let’s be honest, a desperately needed shower—because nothing says summer quite like sweating through your necklaces before noon. All in time to gear up for a breezy Friend of a Mom dinner later that evening.
