First and foremost, a huge thank you to Maria Gomez for the inspiration behind the candy cane bows. The second I saw them going viral, IĀ knew I needed to make them ASAP. She is clearly very, very talented and made the process look easy peasy! I struggled hard, so I thought I’d share some of…
Lady jackets were an instant closet staple for me! They’re so versatile and something I find myself reaching for again and again. So when I received this striped sweater lady jacket in the mail, I immediately fell in love.Ā The navy and cream stripes are a classic and the gold buttons are a gorgeous touch. The…

So far these are my…

Some of my favorite pictures from the last couple of weeks: I actually can’t believe this was (almost) two weeks ago. I took Jack on a full day adventure. I had been wanting to take him to a local indoor children’s museum so that was first on our agenda. It looked so fun online… it…
I am really proud of my reading this month because I did something I have been putting off for years. I finally readĀ A Little Life! (My review below…) But I had been putting it off for really one reason, which I’m not proud to admit but here it goes anyway. I didn’t want to commit…
It’s been almost a month since my last diary post! Some fun things to catch up on: Before Christmas and once the kids were all home from preschool, school, and daycare we had everyone over to our house to decorate some cookies for Santa! It was such a fun afternoon. (This is the recipe we…
This week didn’t exactly go as planned. IĀ had a big shoot planned for Tuesday, but itĀ poured all day long. Complete torrential downpour. At one point, I checked the radar again just to make sure it wasn’t going to miraculously clear up and almost immediately it started to thunder. I thought, “Okay, okay… I get it!”…

With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
