DIARY No.55
It’s been a fun two weeks as life slowly starts to feel a bit more normal. Some snaps from my camera roll:
Mike and I met up with his brother and wife plus a friend to hang out at a nearby cider mill. It was supposed to be really hot and sunny, but we got lucky with some cloud coverage so it was comfortable. I obviously couldn’t imbibe the cider… but I arrived with a full bag of snacks.
I splurged on the Dyson AirWrap.
And I am still somewhat on the fence about it, but will do a full review when I practice more. If you have straight hair naturally, it is amazing. The tough part for my hair is that it’s naturally curly and frizzy so getting my roots dry but smooth is a challenge.
Finally, finally got down to Tampa to see my family!!!! It’s so weird that the last time they saw me in person was at our wedding and then I show up with a big bump!
My sister moved into a new apartment a couple of weeks ago. It is SO CUTE and full of charm. It’s the perfect set up for her and I’m honestly a bit jealous! One of her best friends from childhood lives in the unit next door and they share a porch!
Can’t wait for her to become an aunt!
Our outfits are linked here. (Her coverup was from Aerie but sold out.)
I spent so much time outside. It felt amazing soaking up the sun after what felt like a never ending winter. Here’s my bathing suit, hat (c/o), and sunglasses.
LOOK AT THESE ROSES. Grace Rose Farms sends out heirloom roses and they smell even better than they look if you can believe it! They arrive with tight buds and within a day they open up beautifully. CARLY20 will get you 20% off!
Having fun getting in nursery samples. Still making final choices but getting so, so excited to see it come together!
I’ve been treating myself to Sunday Motor lunch once a week to get a tiny bit of work done. If nothing else, I’ve just been enjoying getting a change of scenery!
New Jersey is in FULL BLOOM.
When I walk the dogs now I am always on the hunt for pretty trees and plants. I think that was a great positive to come out of 2020– I have such a better appreciation for nature. I see so many more things now just because I’m simply looking for it! This one house had so much lily-of-the-valley on their property. They look like little fairy skirts!
So thoughtful of Meesh to send me flowers for Mother’s Day this year!! Love how cheery they are!!!
I love all your snaps from home! So glad you got a good visit in! Happy Spring!

House of Noa!
I see some Milk Bar cookies in your picnic bag!! I’m obsessed with Milk Bar…have you tried ordering one of their cakes yet? Sooo good!
I ordered their crack pie. So good!
Is that your nana’s hands in that photo? Oh, my heart!
Meesh’s!
Love the grey! It looks amazing! Thank you for embracing it.
Always a pleasure to read your blog!
Those roses are so stunning! I love all of the florals in your photos.

Hi there! Is the rug sample the Gingham Rug from Serena & Lily by any chance? I was actaully looking to purchase that rug for my nursery but wasn’t sure if it would be soft enough. It’s so pretty – wondering if you had any thoughts on it. thank you!

It is!! It is SO SOFT. I chose it over other rug options solely for the softness factor!
