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…
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…
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…
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…
Good news (for us): Our pond club is open for the season! After already sharing some of my favorite bathing suits of the season, now is the perfect time to put together swimsuit outfit ideas. It didn’t happen on purpose, but I love that almost everything here is under $60. Swimsuit Outfit Ideas Swimsuit // Bag ($55!) // Shorts // Bow ($12.50!) // Sandals ($50!) This entire…
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…
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…
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…
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…
red, white, and blueberry 🫐🍰 a quaint fourth with my little fam in our happy place
Here’s my go-to formula for feeling effortlessly put together. First up, an easy-to-apply less-is-more natural face with @jonesroadbeauty Miracle Balm in “Dusty Rose” for a sunkissed (without the actual sun) touch of color. A fool-proof favorite outfit of a white blouse, comfy jeans, and cute flats. Plus simple jewelry for a little splash of sparkle. #ad
Ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?! 👌🏻 (this was a pre-dinner appetizer actually because why not?)
Mike took the boys down the shore this past weekend and I stayed back with Teddy. I luxuriated in 72 hours to myself at home:
🍿 Went to the movies and saw @materialists (highly recommend!)
🗑️ Cleaned out and organized nearly every drawer, closet, and cabinet in the house, including scrubbing all the shelves in the refrigerator
📣 Binged all of season two of America’s Sweethearts (enjoyed it but preferred season one)
🎂 Went to @simply_elsa’s mahjong birthday party!
😴 Woke up naturally with no alarm clock every morning
📖 Finished reading It’s a Love Story by @annabelmonaghan (couldn’t put it down, highly recommend!)
🎒 Hunted and gathered all of Jack’s stuff for camp and pre-packed his bag
🛒 Met up with a friend spontaneously to do some local shopping (@thegingerjarshopnj + @big.green.barn ) and got the viral blueberry latte from @meetyouatcrew
🪡 Spent some time needlepointing!
🍝 went to @eatalynewjersey for a solo dinner and ate a whole bowl of pasta
🎭 went into the city to see @johnproctorbway and sobbed for 45+ minutes afterward. It’s PHENOMENAL!!!! Go see it immediately; I would fly in to nyc just to go.
Missed the boys fiercely but ended the weekend feeling rejuvenated 🙌🏻
So easy and cute! My friend asked me to pick up some Diet Coke to bring to her birthday party to complete the “girl dinner” and I couldn’t resist adding a bow and straw!
