As I’ve been trying to get my apartment in order (totally have a hit a roadblock on that front. womp), I realized just how much time I spend at my desk. Because I’ve been running around town after work for various events and meetings, I don’t really get back to my apartment until later. Pretty…
I’m loving eyeglasses lately. I mean, I’ve worn them my entire life, but now really cute glasses are both in and accessible. The selection for cute glasses in fourth grade was simply subpar. Penn Avenue Eyewear has a big selection of glasses that you can order online or find a retailer who carries the line near you….
Okay. Y’all. This is exciting. A giveaway brought to you by Lifeguard Press…. and it’s the Kate Spade agenda!!! I know. The winner is going to receive the Literary Glasses agenda, which… is the one I chose! It’s oh-so-College-Prepster. I was so excited to share some of the details of the agenda last week. So…
I’ve seen the Ashton Kutcher video from the Teen Choice Awards show up on my Facebook newsfeed over and over again. I finally had a hot second to watch it this morning as I was getting ready. I had no idea what to expect, but… I loved it. A little bit of background here: I…
This has been a week. An incredible, opportunistic week. Honestly, this might just be the best week I’ve had in a while. Not just one day, but DAYS on end of amazing things on every front of my life. If this is any indication of how the next year in New York City is going…
Drybar is totally a guilty pleasure. There’s one basically right around the corner from my apartment and I have to make an effort not to go every week. Sometimes it’s just so nice to let someone else wash and dry your hair. One less thing to worry about. Even if you don’t have a Drybar…
A whole year ago, I was boarding a flight to NYC. Now, I had spent close to twenty weekends in the city during my senior year so traveling to the city wasn’t anything special. What was special, though, was that I was traveling one way. No return ticket. Just me and a couple of suitcases, an…
So here’s the thing. I absolutely do not miss school. I do not miss exams. I do not miss homework. I do not miss having to take classes that I have no interest in. I simply don’t miss it– I’m having way too much fun right now. But what I do miss is back to…
Loving all these dresses from ASOS lately. Perfect for fall and pretty great prices too! Quilted Smock // Skater Dress // Drop Waist Chevron Woven // Smock Dress // Arrow Print Which one is your favorite? xoxo
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.

We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
