About Me

Hello There! I'm Liz Denfeld, wife to Corey and mama to two spunky little ones - Elodie (3) and James (1). After nearly a decade working in digital marketing I recently pressed pause on my career to stay home with my kids and pursue my passions of photography, writing, social media and blogging. Here you'll find honest, approachable, inspirational writing on motherhood, style, travel and more. Thank you so much for being here!

  • Getting a picture with this busy boy is next to impossible ... But that doesn't mean I'll ever stop trying! 💙 My boots and jacket are a couple years old, but I've linked to similar items as well as James' adorable jacket (which is only $15!) here 👉🏼 http://liketk.it/2sP43 #liketkit @liketoknow.it #ltkfamily
  • Give me all the millennial pink pumpkins 😝We waited until the last minute to visit the pumpkin patch last year and it was miserably overcrowded. Decided to go the opposite route and go opening weekend and I am totally patting myself on the back cause it was a total #momwin. No lines, gorgeous weather and so much fun! Only fail was we really went for ponies and they won't be there until October ... So I guess this won't be our last pumpkin patch trip of the season 😬{check out all the fun - including a baby cow!!! - in my stories}
  • I have to use this #mcm as an excuse to brag on this guy (and I'm sure he'll hate this post 😇) ... I went away for 8 days and you want to know how many times he complained? ZERO. Zero, guys. I could seriously learn a thing or two from him (I may or may not pout a lot more when he has work dinners or trips). He handled everything like the amazing parent he is while I was away and never once made me feel guilty or like I "owed" him. Even when he was left behind taking care of two kids and I was calling him bawling because I missed home, instead of being totally annoyed he was totally compassionate and supportive. I truly do not know how I got so lucky, but I feel so, so grateful for this guy. Also, just a little cherry on top ... He recently got an amazing and well-deserved promotion at work!! I couldn't be prouder or more in love with you @cdenfeld. Can't wait to be reunited tonight! (As luck would have it he had to leave Sunday for a quick biz trip!). ❤️
  • Made it home late last night after being en route for 23 long hours. Quickly showered and changed then snuck into James' room for snuggles (Elodie specifically requested I not wake her. Thanks, babe, love you too 😂). Part of me felt really guilty to wake him, but the other part couldn't possibly go to bed without hugging at least one of my babies. Well, as luck would have it when I went in I found he had leaked through his diaper and soaked through his PJs and sleepsack! To my delight I got to turn the lamp on, get him in an all new change of clothes and then rock him back to sleep. Such a mundane task would surely not have made me so INSANELY happy just a week prior ... So I guess it's true what they say: Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And to think, I was pretty sure my heart couldn't possibly be fonder of my two babies than it already was ❤️
  • Tot ziens, Nederlands! What a trip! Honestly it feels like I've been gone a million years, but it sure has been a fun million years 😛After this trip I have so much to say about leaving your kiddos and doing something like this. I feel a blog post brewing! But for now I'll focus on my long journey home. One thing is for sure, a small piece of my heart is being left behind in this beautiful country, as it has since I first stepped foot in it in 2009 for my first trip 💛
  • When you keep watching your own Instagram story over and over because you can't believe you actually had the day you had. Holy dreamy guys!! I keep pinching myself! Back in The Hague for one more sleep before I start the long journey home TO MY BABIES!!!! Omg I am so excited! ❤️
  • As Audrey Hepburn would say ... Paris is always a good idea. One last meal before we head back to the Netherlands. It has been a perfectly Parisian weekend full of memories I'll treasure forever and ever! {see more of our day in my stories 💙}
  • What a treat to hop the train to Paris this morning and spend the day meandering the streets, eating Nutella crepes and laughing so hard we came reallll close to peeing ourselves (any other mamas relate?! 😂). It's not easy leaving your kids behind (especially when you're a nursing mama -- you rock @jeanelleteves!!), but uninterrupted conversation and really soaking up the things we love to do remind us it is so good for us. Sweet texts from the dads at home holding down the fort don't hurt either. So grateful for this friendship and this time together in this magical city ✨💓👯
  • Lucked out with a crisp, sunny day today! Bikes, canals, adorable shops and restaurants ... The Hague is like a cute mini Amsterdam 😍
  • I wonder if this place will ever stop feeling like home. I've been daydreaming this whole trip of bringing the kids one day. I can't wait to show them around and tell them all about the life of adventure their daddy and I lived here when we were newlyweds ❤️
