This might as well be a sponsored post for Target because all but one of the pieces is from there. With a new baby on the way, we’ve been reevaluating a lot of the storage in our house– kids toy storage especially. The focus has been on our playroom for obvious reasons, even though it’ll…
I know it’s still hot out, but…. fall is so close I can taste it. I’ve already posted about fall outfit ideas (I’m SO impressed with J.Crew’s assortment) but I’m in the mood to cover some fall wedding guest dresses too. Depending on where you are in the season, the weather can be drastically different,…
Since starting the 1,000 Hours Outside challenge, we’ve spent a lot less time in our playroom. And even though it’s the middle of the summer, I’ve already started thinking about how we’ll keep our energetic toddler occupied once the weather cools down. Honestly I’m more than happy with our playroom setup, but I’ve definitely caught…
A lot has changed since I graduated from college 11 years ago (no 18-year-old TikTokers posting insane GRWM videos, haha) but at the same time…. a lot hasn’t changed? It’s a universal experience, being young and living on your own for the first time. You have so much to learn about how to take care…
Back to school season means new planner editions are here! A lot of options– including a lot of the best planners here– are undated now, which I think is definitely the right move. (The amount of old planners sitting in warehouses or being thrown out…. I don’t even want to know.) Even though I haven’t…
I’ve been collecting coffee books for a while (at least 11 years). It was the “thing to do” in the early-mid 2010’s and honestly, I still love the look of stacked coffee table books. Plus, flipping through them is always inspiring! I noticed there’s been a lot of new releases this year and wanted to…
I know, I know…. Party favors for kids are controversial. Most of them are, quite frankly, junk. That said, I know I can be a little over the top as a mom– the past two years I’ve sent out valentines on Jack’s behalf to his cousins and the kids of our friends. It’s just too…
Confession: I intended for this to be a roundup of grandmillennial decor in general, but when I started picking the pieces, I noticed a pattern…. They were all blue!! So I just kept the theme going. We like what we like, right?! Haha! Ever since our recent interior design projects wrapped up, I’ve been hoping…
I take sun protection very seriously– my skin is pretty sensitive, especially being as pale as I am. With wider brims, sunhats offer top notch coverage while adding that “finishing touch” to your summer outfits. Over the years I’ve developed quite a collection, including my beloved Peter Beaton straw hat. While rounding up the best…
Effortless elegance meets timeless prep... @Tuckernuck always has what I’m looking for! Elevated silhouettes that make everyday feel a little more chic.

Comment “tuckernuck” and I’ll DM you all the details from all three styled looks! #tuckernuckpartner #tuckernucking
Styling the @Keds Triple Up Platform Sneaker three ways for Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 Whether I’m keeping it casual in denim shorts, dressing up in a sundress, or going for a 90s denim jumper vibe, these sneakers have me covered. I love how they add a little height without sacrificing comfort... perfect for whatever the weekend has in store! #ad #kedspartner
As a busy mom on the go, I rely on a quick makeup routine I can apply in minutes… and a few go-to mom hacks that help life run just a bit smoother. I love @jonesroadbeauty Just Enough Tinted Moisturizer for light, effortless coverage that evens my skin out without overdoing it. In addition to an easy makeup routine, getting outside with the kids as much as possible, creating a simple outfit “uniform,” and joining a gym with childcare have all made a big difference in my days. It’s not about doing it all... it’s about finding little things that make the chaos feel a bit more doable 🤍 #ad

A peek into some of my favorite rooms at @mansioninmay! Love seeing the different interior designer’s style and how they bring their visions to life all under one roof.
With summer just around the corner, I’ve been busy scouring the internet for books to add to my TBR pile! 📚 Maybe you’re on the hunt for some new reads too? I went through the books I’ve read so far this year to highlight some of my favorites. (You can see all the books I’ve read in 2025, and previous years, in my Highlights.) These might not all be ~beach reads~, but if you’re the type to pack a REALLY good book (or two…) for a trip, I’ve got you covered.
I’ve broken my recommendations into three categories:
1. Novels that are a bit more readable (though not necessarily “easy”!).
2. Novels that go a little deeper and make you think.
3. Non-fiction picks to really sink your teeth into.
Happy reading… and let me know what’s on your summer TBR! 💛
Can anyone really understand what they’re signing up for when they become a mother? Your body changes. Your brain rewires. Your priorities shift. It’s a love you can only begin to imagine, and then, somehow, it’s even harder to describe. The weight of responsibility is heavy. The days are long. There are no days off– even when you’re away (at work, sleeping in the next room, or out to dinner with friends), a piece of you is always with your child(ren).
I had no idea what was ahead when I started this journey. Some days, I question whether I’m even capable (or worthy) of the job. Each year that passes gets easier... and harder. I am often tired and always grateful.
To my boys, I love you. I’m so glad you’re mine.
