I am so excited to share our Christmas tree this year!!! I’ve really loved our Christmas trees from previous years in our house, but with our new interior design, I’ve been thinking about how the living room would look in December. One of the things that was really important to me when we designed the…
This is just not my season for reading! This year I was in a great rhythm of reading before falling asleep. I will admit that right now, I just want to needlepoint with a television show and then mindlessly scroll through TikTok. Not a good habit for sleep health and clearly not a good habit for…
Here’s what I’ve been up the past two weeks according to my camera roll…. If you’re local, highly recommend visiting Cam Jam Kids in Summit, NJ– it’s a darling new store filled with various gifts and toys for little kids. It’s CUTE. The perfect place to pick up a birthday gift or a special treat…
Happy December! Our tree is up, I saw the big Rockefeller Tree, all of our Christmas candles have been lit, and the Polar Express soundtrack has been playing on repeat in our house and car. We are excited for this holiday season. I also just quickly want to tell you thank you for shopping all of my gift…

My friend Melissa Smrekar has the most fun Christmas tree tradition of collecting ornaments that represent the year (called a “pledge class”). I’ll admit that I’m not the best Christmas ornament curator – our trees are definitely pretty, but less eclectic – but it’s still SO inspiring. After spending the weekend decking the halls with…
A quick week of outfits here! I don’t have photos from the weekend because my mom and I were working hard getting the house decorated for Christmas and I lived in leggings and a sweatshirt. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Our house is DECORATED. Hallelujah. I’ve been anxious about getting it done and having it checked off my…
The best time of year…. it’s tartan season! My tartan choices this year are a bit limited between my bump and just wanting/needing to be comfortable all the time. I refuse to let it hold me back from experiencing a little bit of my favorite fabric. (And when in doubt, there’s always a tartan bow…

📌 Save this post! Can’t get over the MAGIC that is @backtonature.nj’s Christmas Market during the holidays! 🎄🌟🎅🏻🧣The decor this year is on a new level. If you need to get into the holiday spirit (or pick up speciality gifts or more decorations for your home), 100% recommend making the drive! It’s worth it ❄️
When you don’t actually feel cute but then kind of end up feeling cute because you put a bow in your hair, slipped into a dress that fits, and swiped on your favorite red lipstick 💋 @hillhouse @annmashburn 🎥 by @carterfish, maybe I’ll post the video without music so you can hear her hyping me up, because you can’t imagine the crowd the bore witness to the making of this Reel 🫣
And then there were three ❤️❄️🎄🌟⛸️ Needlepoint stockings are a huge undertaking… they take hours (and hours and hours) of stitching. The final results are more than worth the effort though. These will hang on our mantle every Christmas and I can’t think of anything more special than that. I finished Mike’s stocking at the end of the summer after stitching almost every night for seven months. I am taking a little break and then I’ll start on the baby’s stocking for next Christmas!! 🥹

FROM THE ARCHIVES ❄️⛸️🌲some of my past favorite winter looks mostly because I miss real pants and being able to button my coats
This tree feels extra special this year. 🎄💫⛸️❤️🕯️ Jack is fully embracing the magic of Christmas (“kiss miss”) and his enthusiasm is downright contagious!
Not one of my best qualities, but I typically feel immense pressure trying to make things feel extra special and perfect and then I get disappointed when the reality doesn’t live up to my (unrealistic) expectations. I wish I could blame social media for this.... but I know the call is coming from inside the house.
This tree seems perfect to me, though, just the way it is. It was a true group effort getting it here. Another one of my not-so-great qualities is that I’m terrible at asking for help when I need it.... this year, I can’t ignore it though. I needed help, and a lot of it. Mike got every holiday storage box up from the basement (no small feat) and hoisted the into the house and got it up in the stand within minutes (then redid it twice to get the angle of the tree just so); my mom and I took multiple trips to the hardware store and drug store for the “right” colored lights (in case you’re wondering, “bright white” is warm yellow and “warm white” is actually bright white... make it make sense); my mom wrapped the tree in lights a second time when we learned the hard way that when the box says you can’t plug in more than five strands together they mean it; and Jack was there to help and hype us all up to say how “boo-full” the tree and lights are– and keeping us in line by scolding and reminding us that we aren’t allowed to touch the ornaments 🤭
I feel a little pang of sadness that we aren’t celebrating a first Christmas with a baby who was supposed to be here, while also struggling through a third trimester (just feeling physically tired and exhausted), while also cherishing our last Christmas as a family of three, while also getting excited knowing our baby will be here before we know it. Sure, it’s a lot of pressure to put on one single tree, yet here I am. ⭐️
Spent the weekend decking the halls 🎄 the garland is up, the tree is up, the wreaths are up! Fueled by three peppermint mochas, one bag of Milanos peppermint slices, one batch of chocolate chip cookies, and one loaf of zucchini bread… my mom and I got it done 🙏🏻
