I’m so so so into this running shoe trend right now. I hope it’s not a trend and stays forever and ever. I love wearing heels because I feel a little bit sassier in them, but walking everywhere in the city can be a serious pain (literally) in heels. And the way these sneaks are being…
Being back in Florida for a week certainly spoiled me. Currently, I’m somewhere between icicle and popsicle status. Earlier in December I bought a space heater from Gilt and it’s been amazing. I carry it around my apartment and plug it into the nearest outlet at all times. And my typical work-from-home uniform right now…
What better way to kick off the New Year than getting organized? I spent about half of New Year’s day organizing and cleaning my entire apartment. It was quite the task considering I had neglected my apartment around the holidays. (I hadn’t seen my kitchen table in a while. It wasn’t pretty.) But now that…
I’ve been a fan of Caitlin Wilson for a while now. (In fact, she inspired me to get my pink couch!) Absolutely all of her fabric designs are spot-on. Totally lust-worthy. She sent me the Coral Bow Pillow and it couldn’t match any better with my bedroom if we tried. It’s such a snowy, cold…
I’ve seen a handful of movies over the past month or so and I thought I’d share some of my favorites with you. I love movies. Whether I’m curled up on my couch with Netflix or squished in a packed movie theatre with popcorn (and candy), I’m a happy girl. I like all kinds of movies…
My friend Jack Carlson has been working on a coffee table book featuring rowing blazers for years. Jack is Victoria (aka Little V)‘s boyfriend and the three of us were all coxswains on the men’s heavyweight rowing team at Georgetown. Jack is one of the smartest people I know– if not the smartest. (It’s either Jack or…
So I said I didn’t have any New Year’s Resolutions… and I don’t beyond the mantra. But I have to admit that I’ve committed myself to experiment a little bit more with makeup. I have the same routine and I very, very, very rarely deviate from it. Even when I put on eyeshadow it’s always the…
This was absolutely one of the most fun New Year’s Eve to date. Amy and I opted out of parties and, with a few of our friends out of town, we decided to do what we do best. Have fun with props and make the night exactly what we wanted it to be. Nothing more,…
Terrible at New Year’s Resolutions? Ugh. Me too. I always have the best of intentions, but it rarely happens. Oh well. Looking back on 2013, where I was in December was so so so far from where I was in January. I mean, almost every element of my life was different. Over the course of…
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!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.
