Camp started today for Jack– he was so excited– and Rory and I have been keeping cool the best we can with water play in our backyard and then recharging downstairs in the playroom. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Mike took the boys down the shore with his family and I stayed back with Teddy. O M G…
LONG HANDLE BOAT AND TOTE
While I originally wanted to take some photos in this darling little dress which is such a good “wardrobe staple” and then I ended up carrying my long handled boat and tote and, well, I’m changing gears. This is me asking for (demanding?) justice for the long handled boat and tote. I have a bunch…
THE BOYS’ SUMMER UNIFORM
I love the boys in a “uniform” for the summer. Maybe it’s more of a formula, but I swear by it as a mom. It just makes everything easier. Laundry is easier, mornings are easier, packing for trips is easier. I want my kids to have “unfussy” wardrobes that allow them to play and be themselves…
ON MY RADAR 6.20.25
The Nantucket countdown is on. I’m so excited. I can’t decide what I’m more excited for. Jack has already been talking about strawberry picking. Seeing our friends from other states who will also be there. OUTDOOR SHOWERS! Lazy beach days…. ah! Really looking forward to it all. ONE // Emma Watson Coxes the Oxford Rowing Team…

WEEK OF OUTFITS 6.17.25
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m writing this blog post in full head to toe matching sweats (from Gap– it’s my favorite comfort outfit) under the covers while Rory naps. It’s raining again and chilly outside and I’m just in the mood for coziness. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I had my tap recital!!!! It was actually so…
RETURNING TO CHILDHOOD HOBBIES
For years, I have wanted to take dance classes again. I loved dance growing up, but in middle school there was a big shift at all the local studios where you kind of had to commit your life to dance. I loved the tap/jazz/ballet combo classes I took in elementary school and tried a more serious…
DIARY No. 131
Here’s what we’ve been up to for the last couple of weeks, according to my camera roll. We have a little reward chart for Jack to collect stickers to earn a prize. I’ve been letting him pick out what the prize is every time. One time it was a spaceship football from Whole Foods he…
ON MY RADAR 6.13.25
I can’t believe it’s Friday already!! Jack got to go to his first Phillies game (he loved it) and we all spent as much time outside as possible. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // What It’s Like Grocery Shopping for Martha Stewart This was an incredibly interesting TikTok detailing what it’s…
