On a hot-and-sticky Tuesday in June in Chicago, where the heat wave clung to everything like a too-tight hug and surprise rain showers popped up like plot twists, this cool stay-at-home city mom dressed the part in a blue pinstripe skirt and a matching blue henley tank—easy, breezy, and cute enough for a little self-care circuit. After dropping her son at daycare, she treated herself to a massage and pedicure, a luxury she justified with the simple fact that parenting is hard and her feet deserved it. She got caught in a pop-up storm on the walk home (of course), but made it back just in time to dry off and power through a bit of blog work before heading to her standing physical therapy appointment—her ankle was finally showing signs of real progress, and that alone called for a celebration.
