I love a good tote…. a lot. They’re SO versatile! I usually “rotate” through them, using one for a while before switching to another. Since becoming a mom, I’ve also found it’s easiest to keep a dedicated tote stocked with all of Jack’s essentials. Right now, I’m using the striped tote I designed with Neely…
Men can be notoriously difficult to shop for, and if you’ve waited until now to start shopping for Father’s Day, I can’t blame you! I’m still always surprised and impressed by the assortment Amazon has available for two day shipping (this is what I bought in May!) and wanted to share some of my favorite…
We kicked off wedding season in Colorado celebrating Little V! It was absolutely stunning and we had the best time. I picked out a dress that “matched” the scenery and it was fun to see how others did too. The whole event inspired me to round up some summer wedding guest dresses! Summer Wedding Guest…
Jack’s second birthday is in less than three months! I can barely believe it. Where has the time gone?? He has everything he needs and more, but that hasn’t stopped me from brainstorming what to get him. I thought it’d be fun to round up some of the best gifts for 2 year olds –…
I just love playing with Jack. We have the best time together and it’s such a joy. The older he gets, the more I’ve been able to observe the way he looks at toys differently and discovers new ways of playing with them. It’s also so much fun being able to introduce ones that are…
I’ll admit the first thing that piqued my interest in pickleball was the paddles, haha! Of course you don’t need more than one, but… Who can resist cute pickleball paddles?? They’re total mood lifters. In my dream world, I’d have a coordinating paddle for all of my pickleball outfits! (Kidding… kind of.) As we get…
All of a sudden, I blinked and Mother’s Day is only five days away! The past few weeks have blended together and if my job didn’t require me to stay on top of every major holiday, I’m not sure I would remember it at all, ha. In case you’ve missed shipping deadlines or you’re like…
When we bought our house, one of the things Mike and I were most excited for was hosting friends and family. And though our backyard is certainly a work in progress, that doesn’t stop us from outdoor entertaining once the weather warms up! I’m already looking forward to all the late summer nights headed our…

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.
