One of my most favorite things to do on the weekend is to walk around and run errands. During the week, I’m typically super bogged down with work and random evening events that I don’t have time to do the little things. I save up all my errands for the weekend (bookstore, grocery shopping, returning things, picking up flowers, etc.). During the winter, I would subway as close as I could to the store that I had to be at and run in and then run right back out.
Now that it’s warm out I’ve been logging so many more miles with just walking. It’s seriously the best. Little sneakers like Keds (how cute are these?) are great for walking around and wearing with lightweight summer dresses. But I’ve been absolutely eyeing these Superga sneakers.
Seriously, it seems like every person that I see passing by me in the city has a pair of these on. (Obviously an exaggeration, but they’re everywhere!!) Typically, that would cause me to shy away from buying a pair (who wants to be like everybody else?), but they clearly work for logging Manhattan miles.
I think they’re going to look great with rolled up jeans and even with little chambray dresses. I’m seriously going to be getting a pair (or two)… I just have to choose the color.
I've never heard of these but they're so cute 🙂 I bought a pair of Le Coq Sportifs to wear on an overseas trip and they're so so comfortable and very similar to these 🙂

I think that sneakers (other than for running) are one of those things that I think look good on everyone but me. I scored a really cute pair of red canvas sneakers in Paris that I never wear because I always put them on and take them off before I leave. 🙁
i've been dying for a pair of white converse! i feel like they with absolutely everything and they are totally classic so i don't have to worry about them going out of style! xox chloe popcosmo.com
omg I finally got a pair of black supergas last week after lusting over them for a couple years! I don't regret it at all. They are super comfortable and stylish. I would definitely recommend getting a pair, especially because that lilac color is adorable!! findthejaguarshark.wordpress.com
This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life.

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!

But I like the navy!
These are super cute! White will most likely get super dirty in the city. Just something to consider and now I sound like a mother. Lol
