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……

WINTER CAPSULE WARDROBE

I was so glad to hear how much you enjoyed the capsule wardrobes I put together last year, and as promised, I am finally getting around to creating one for winter. Winter clothing isn’t my favorite, especially when getting dressed in the North East. This is why having a capsule wardrobe to rely on can…

BABY BOY NURSERY: Jack’s Room!

This post has been a long time coming! Jack’s nursery. It’s become my favorite room of the house, without a doubt. Originally when we moved in, I thought for sure the smallest bedroom would be the nursery eventually. But when I was actually pregnant, I realized it was going to be a much more efficient…

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…

DIARY No. 68

I think the last Diary post I did was over a month ago! I have no idea where I left off so I’m just going to use this post to play a little catch up and share some fun recent photos. Probably no rhyme or reason, but hopefully this gets me back on track! We…

ON MY RADAR

We’ve largely still been doing nothing around here. You know things are bad when an introverted homebody (that would be me) is craving plans and socialization. But some fun things from this week: celebrating Mike’s birthday with a cozy night at home, Jack got his first tooth (!!!), Facetiming with a friend for a couple…
