I’ve been really impressed by the budget-friendly fall finds this year. Maybe it’s because of how popular denim and minis are right now– whatever the reason, I’m not complaining! For today I rounded up some of the best fall dresses under $100, plus a couple others that I couldn’t resist adding to the mix. Best…
I’ve mentioned before that my body looks (and, frankly, feels) different than it did prior to pregnancy. Though there was a time when I wondered if my feet would go back to their normal size postpartum, I’m happy to report they have! Part of switching over my wardrobe for fall means switching out my shoes,…
I love cardigans. They’re so versatile, and nowadays I usually wear them buttoned all the way up or draped over my shoulders. I definitely have my favorites, like this one and this one, that I pull out once the weather cools down. For this roundup of the best cardigans for fall, though, I wanted to…
Brown is having a moment right now, and I’ve been seeing a LOT of all brown outfits! I don’t think the color is necessarily flattering on me, but I’m inspired by what everyone’s been wearing. If I were to hop on the trend, I’d go with beige and brown outfits– the combination just looks so…
I have to admit, I’m excited to pull out my fall clothes. Being pregnant this time last year meant that a lot of my usual wardrobe was sidelined. With Jack starting preschool and Rory starting daycare next week, it really feels like we’re on the cusp of a new season! I couldn’t help but pull…
If there’s anything we can all agree on, it’s that Nancy Meyers is iconic. She’s behind so many of my comfort movies– The Parent Trap, Father of the Bride, Something’s Gotta Give… I love the plots, but what I REALLY love are the set designs. It might just be the TikTok algorithm, but I’ve noticed…
I’m a denim girl through and through. My time is usually spent either parenting or working from home, so once the weather cools down, it just makes sense. I’ve tried a lot of jeans through the years and have a pretty good idea of what works for me: high waisted with only a little bit…
The back to school buzz is upon us! This is one of my favorite times of the year– the nostalgia is real, and now as a mom, so is the excitement. In case you’re still looking, I couldn’t help but round up some of the best backpacks for school. BEST BACKPACKS FOR SCHOOL LLBEAN //…
I know, I know… Summer isn’t over yet! But tomorrow is the first day of August and retailers have officially started releasing their early fall collections. The “in-between” weather, when it’s after Labor Day but still hot, can be a little awkward to dress for, so I put together some transitional fall outfits for inspiration….
Effortless elegance meets timeless prep... @Tuckernuck always has what I’m looking for! Elevated silhouettes that make everyday feel a little more chic.

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.
