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 can’t believe my first Mother’s Day with both of my boys is just 2.5 weeks away!! Now’s a good time to shop so you can get your gift picked out, shipped, and wrapped without any rush. It’s also crucial to shop early if you want to get something monogrammed– those shipping cutoffs are much…
Back today with another week of outfits! I feel like I’m finally getting into the groove with outfits as the weather warms up and I slowly adjust to postpartum dressing. It’s a journey, but I have really been making strides in giving myself grace. (And trying to find the fun in picking up new pieces…
When I was pregnant with my second, I knew I wouldn’t need to buy too many new things. I felt very well prepared equipment-wise and since our kids are 2.5 years apart, my toddler was fully out of the baby stage and, therefore, all of our baby items were totally ready to go for #2….
I know this is not a “timely” post given that Masters has already come and gone. But I cannot get this one photo from the Masters’ Instagram out of my head! I am obsessed with these outfits and think they’d be great inspiration for summer and beyond. From left to right: #1: Similar Hat // Dress…
Happy Friday! This week went by so quickly I can hardly believe it’s already almost the weekend. Nothing too crazy– just a nice week at home. My favorite!! Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Halter Sundress Wow wow wow! Calling all brides… or really anyone who wants a stunning white…
I have been on a big shirtdress kick lately! I truly can’t think of a more versatile silhouette. It’s something that works for my body in my postpartum era and is also breastfeeding friendly. I’m all about easy to throw on dresses, and the best part of a shirtdress is that it looks like you’re pulled together…
Who here remembers my college graduation campaign with Kate Spade? It feels like a lifetime ago, and in a way, it was! I’d still wear that dress today though. I can hardly think of anything more classic to wear than a little white dress, and this time of year, there seems to be endless options…
Had such a good week with the boys– especially this weekend. Getting out with both boys by myself was a major goal of mine and I have to say, I’m so glad I was on top of this fear from the beginning. I’m sitting down now to type this and realizing that I don’t even…
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!
