After reading (and loving) this Sweet Lemon Magazine blog post, I knew that I had to share my favorite Netflix shows! I didn’t have cable while at school and I’m not planning on signing up for cable in my new apartment. But I love Netflix. I have the Netflix app on my iPad and watch it…
Please try to contain your excitement….. This week I teamed up with Jack Rogers to give away a pair of monogrammed sandals!!! Exciting!!! Enter below using the Rafflecopter widget: a Rafflecopter giveaway Good Luck! xoxo
I’m getting ready to start the next chapter in my life. I’ve been running a ton of errands and spending time with friends and family in preparation. But, I’ve also been spending a lot of time at my desk and in my room. And I’m about to start the (majorly) daunting task of packing. Packing…
Heading back to school? Here’s a guide for picking out the perfect bag for school. Whether you’re in the mood to save or splurge I’ve pulled options for different kinds of totes and backpacks. Nylon Totes | If you’re a girl on the go, nylon totes are great for “throwing and going.” These totes work whether you’re…
Confession: I have been wearing the same thing just about every single day this summer. It’s borderline pathetic. Florida is extremely hot and there are just some days when I have absolutely zero energy to put any thought into what I wear. If I don’t post my outfit on Instagram, this is pretty much what…
One of my favorite things about Target is that they partner with celebrities and big-name brands. It’s the best of both worlds. Quality products at Target prices. Giada De Laurentiis recently came up with an entire line of cook wear for Target. Have you watched her on The Food Network? I think she’s just so…
I have had a million and a half things going on in my head recently. I’m about to move, about to start a new job, and about to turn into a grown-up real quick. It’s a lot. I think back to four years ago and how difficult I thought going to college was… and now here…
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about specific outfits to wear while at school. I know a lot of college campuses are very different in terms of what’s “normal” attire for class. At some schools it’s completely socially acceptable to show up in baggy shirts and athletic shorts. Every school differs. Georgetown (from what…
Now is as good a time as any to do a little reflecting. One year ago today, my company TCP, Inc was officially incorporated!!! I really had no idea what I was beginning and I definitely had no idea where I was going. At the time, I had finished a course about entrepreneurship the semester…
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!
