Kate Spade is totally making my day right now. Seriously, yesterday was rough. And this is the perfect way to start my Tuesday! Who doesn’t love a good surprise? And who doesn’t love a good sale? Combine the two… and it’s a match made in heaven. KATE SPADE SURPRISE SALE!!! Act quick though!!! Last time I…
Oh my word. I have never (and I mean never) had this serious of an issue with dry skin. I’ve had sunburns and chapped lips. But my face is the grossest thing in the world right now. My chin (as I mentioned in yesterday’s video) is cracked. Like, straight up cracked desert ground status. I woke…
Remember back in December when I declared that I wasn’t going to straighten my hair for an entire month? Well, the 31 days came and went. And when I finally straightened my hair, it was kind of… disappointing. First of all, it took a lot longer than I remembered it taking. I had to wake up…
{I had originally drafted a post and realized it was much more Prep Talk material… don’t forget to sign up for my weekly newsletter!} So Valentine’s Day is kind of one of those holidays I have a love/hate relationship with. I’m not too big into holidays in general, and Valentine’s Day is nice. For starters, it’s…
Working at Levo League has a million and a half perks. The best one? So many amazing people visit the office. Every week, we’re meeting the coolest people in just about every industry. Back in November, Jaime Petkanics hosted an Office Hours out of our offices. We had emailed a ton while I managed the…
I think the title of the magazine (and this post) pretty much sums up how I’m feeling right now. The sweet part? The latest issue of Sweet Lemon Magazine launched today!!! But, I have an announcement to make and it’s one that I have spent a really long time deliberating over. And it’s one that…
Wow, January flew by. February is actually one of my favorite months. There’s something about the unusualness of the short month that I really, truly just love. And what’s better than loving a month that’s all about love? And February is absolutely a PINK month. In the words of the precocious Eloise… Think pink, a…
Oh my word. I’m addicted to Brussels sprouts. True story, I eat them every night for dinner. Seriously. When Georgetown’s dining hall (“Leo’s”) had them for dinner, it was essentially like hitting the jackpot. My entire plate would be filled with them. Now that I’m living on my own, they’re my go-to dinner. Not a…
Guys. Kelly Cutrone is coming to Levo League tomorrow. I am so excited!!! She will be hosting Office Hours–which is a 30 minute live-streamed interview with career mentors. We host two per week (career experts on Tuesday and career mentors on Thursday) and I always look forward to them. Technically I have to watch because of my…
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!
