BEST NURSING BRAS

I actually didn’t fully understand the importance of nursing bras. I kind of thought you could just wear your normal bra and, if you wanted, you could wear a nursing bra. Well, I’m sure you could make breastfeeding work with a normal bra, but I personally find nursing bras just so convenient. I’ve tried a…

TOAST

This may be a random blog post, but I have been on a major “toast” kick. I think it’s the dreary winter or something, but I have been having so much toast lately. I mostly just do buttered toast (is there anything better) or avocado toast. But, I follow this TikTok account and she often…

SEWING PATTERNS

I dusted off my sewing machine and spent a weekend making these two things for my friend’s daughters. Honestly… I was rusty. I only sewed one thing in 2021 and it took me a minute to get back into the swing of things. It also took me so much longer because I was working in…

ON MY RADAR

Well this week was certainly a rollercoaster. The beginning of the week was tough mentally and then things turned around mid-week! We had some beautiful spring-like weather (in January! such a treat!) so I took Jack out for a very, very long walk. And Mike and I even got to go out on a date……

WEEK OF OUTFITS 1.18.2022

LAST WEEK’S WIN: I got out my sewing machine!!! Ugh. I have so many thoughts about this and maybe I’ll save it for a longer, full post? But it was a huge win for me. I’ve missed it so much. Because it’s such a process to get a station set up and I can only…

UNDER $40 MAXI DRESS

What’s this?! An outfit?! I know. I surprised myself. I actually ordered this dress a couple of months ago, but it’s been tucked away in my closet. I haven’t exactly had anywhere to wear it, but it deserved to be taken out for a spin. Plus, I needed to share this dress with you because it’s…

MY 2022 GOALS

Last year, when I sat down to write my goals for the year, we were in the throes of a very snowy winter. I was newly pregnant and quite ill. And I had recently signed a book deal with very tight deadlines. Vaccines weren’t widely available and I felt so…. I’m not even sure. I…
