We have one month until the first day of spring, and now that we’ve celebrated Rory’s first birthday, I’m counting down the days. In the winter, I tend to maintain more of a capsule wardrobe, but once things thaw, I try to be more open to cute outfits that incorporate color, texture, and pattern. Being in…
After the rush of the holidays, I find I’m not usually as enchanted with winter as I may have been before. Luckily, it seems like brands agree– they’ve already started ushering in a new season! So many of my go-to retailers seem more than ready for the spring season, even though we won’t be able to really…
Growing up, my mom always me and my sister little gifts for Valentine’s Day. It was always fun to wake up and see what we got (like a mini Christmas morning!). Was it extra? Maybe, but we felt SO special every time. After writing about fun Valentine’s Day cards for kids last week, it’s only…
Valentines have come a long way since we were kids! It’s almost hard to believe that everyone used to choose from the same limited options available at Target or the grocery store. No doubt you’d end up with the same design as at least one other kid in your class, then ask them if theirs…
Valentine’s Day reminds me a little bit of New Year’s Eve– some people think it’s overrated, but it’s really just what you make of it, you know? I think it can be such fun to dress for different holidays, especially one so feminine. No matter what your plans are on February 14th, I put together…
After covering the best Valentine’s Day decor under $60 last week, I wanted to talk about pajamas for kids! I love shopping for my boys, especially for different holidays. And when they can match? Even better. These are some of the best Valentine’s Day pajamas for kids that I have my eye on this year…
I wasn’t planning on talking about Valentine’s Day quite yet– there’s still so much I’m going to share about 2024! But brands started launching their collections right after New Year’s and it’s all just darling. What’s great about this holiday is that because hearts are such a universal symbol, a lot of it can be…
We are SO CLOSE to the finish line! I’m looking forward to taking some time to recuperate after a long year, spend some quality time with my boys, and maybe (if I’m lucky!) even sneak in a nap or two. Heading into a new year, I’ve been reminded about the phenomenon that is guided journals….
Every holiday season I reach a point where I’m just… counting down the days to Christmas. I wish it wasn’t always like this, but that’s just the nature of the beast in my industry! After that, of course, is New Year’s– 2024 has felt a decade long in some ways, so I’m looking forward to…

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.
