Remember last week when I said I was feeling a little “holiday dread”? Well, I don’t know exactly what happened but I am SO excited now for the holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas. All the decorations, all the traditions! My sister helped me shoot a big campaign and I was hemming and hawing over whether or not…
Did we go apple picking again? WE DID. My sister in law and I made it happen with four kids in tow. She was really the miracle worker in getting all three girls to agree to wearing matching outfits š Jack and I rushed over to the orchard after an OBGYN appointment and it was…
There’s a hodgepodge of sales happening right now and I couldn’t resist sharing them here. Tory Burch Riding Boots TALBOTS // 30% off with “FRIENDS30” at checkout Talbots has their Friends and Family promotion happening right now which is great news if you haven’t purchased your tartan flats yet!!! Actually, all the shoes right now…
Whew it was a hot week here! Nothing crazy to report one way or another… just like a nice summer week at home! We have a nice looking weekend ahead. A friend is coming into town with her little guy and we are hoping for good pond weather. Honestly can’t wait. Here’s what’s been on…
It’s been so nice to have a beautiful space to go to work. I’ve been going almost every day while Jack is in daycare and I haven’t felt this inspired in a while, and forgot how nice it is to have a dedicated office space! On that note, it got me thinking about workwear. I…
Backcountry is offering 20% off one item right now, and that includes PATAGONIA! This is the perfect opportunity to pick up a gift for someone (or yourself). Backcountry has the best gear on the market with free two-day shipping. I make a few purchases throughout the winter for new ski stuff, maybe a new coat to fill the void, and always for a gift or two.
I’ve been carrying my Longchamp backpack a lot lately. It’s just big enough for an iPad, a camera, and my phone.Ā Basically, just the essentials I need while I’m out and about. There’s something so convenient about having a backpack over a handbag; it makes life so much easier just to toss everything in and be hands-free. (Plus it’s easier on myĀ back when it gets a little heavier!)
I rounded up a few really great looking backpacks. Some would work for school (like the Kate Spade bow one, which also comes in a gorgeous hot pink) and others are perfect for travel (like the satchel backpack) and others are a great option for work (like this leather backpack that fits a laptop).
None of these backpacks would look like you’re off to kindergardenā they’re chic!
When I saw this top, I knew I had to have it. It doesn’t matter that we have a few short weeks left of “official” summer. It’s a great look-alike option for the crazy expensive Tibi topĀ and it’s still cheaper than the $78 Free People version too.

I wanted to hop over here really quick for a bonus post today about the Lake Pajamas sale. This is their big sale of the year and the perfect time to stock up on the comfiest PJs. I’ll also answer some of the most commonly asked questions I’ve been getting in Instagram DMs. LAKE PAJAMAS…

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!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
