I tend to keep things simple as far as my outfits go on a day to day basis. I’d prefer to wear jeans every single day for the rest of my life if I could just for comfort and ease. But I do get bored of jeans. I mixed things up the other week by…
One thing is true… I am terrible at “interior design.” I’m beyond envious of what all you talented girls (and guys) can do with a room. I absolutely cannot come up with a vision. I have zero patience. And I can’t really make up my mind on a style. Sometimes I think a plain white…
I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older or that I’m getting more comfortable with my body in general or that I moved to Connecticut. But I rarely want to wear a pair of heels anymore. I rarely do wear a pair of heels. I might stick a pair in my tote to slip into…
Back to school season means new planner editions are here! A lot of options– including a lot of the best planners here– are undated now, which I think is definitely the right move. (The amount of old planners sitting in warehouses or being thrown out…. I don’t even want to know.) Even though I haven’t…
This week was SO MUCH BETTER than last. Whew! It is such a relief. It hasn’t even been like some super special week, just a nice, calm one with plenty of happy moments sprinkled in. There’s this whole trend (maybe it’s even a movement now) on TikTok to “romanticize your life” and I honestly love…
Personally, I’ve been wearing boots, like, every single boot I own pretty much every single day. Bean boots when it’s snowing. Rain boots when it’s raining. Ankle boots when I’m feeling a little bit braver than normal. Riding boots when I’m, well, lazy. And I’ve been wearing socks all the time. (I seriously wear two pairs…
Thanksgiving is a couple of weeks away, and I can’t wait to spend the week with family in Tampa. I’m deciding between a couple of dresses to wear for Thanksgiving dinner. Obviously, comfort is a priority, but I still enjoy getting a little dressed up. I’ll most likely wear a midi dress with a pair…
Shoes are usually one of the first things I switch out in my closet when the seasons change. I got an unintentional head start this year when none of my shoes fit after giving birth to Rory in February, so I took it as an opportunity for a little refresh! Blue Denim Mules (Under $50)…
I’ve reluctantly tucked away my summery sandals and I’m preparing for more closed toe options. For years, ballet flats have been my go-to shoe. I’ve tried all kinds of brands and tend to have pretty good luck. But at the end of the day, I will almost always go for the most comfortable ones I…
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
