I have been reaching for this silhouette over and over again. I now have the dress in a number of colors and prints and I have to tell you just how much I love it. Especially for these crazy hot summer days we’ve been having, I love throwing on a dress that is swingy and…
Don’t hate me, don’t hate me, don’t hate me. I’m here today to share some of the “pre-fall” finds that are hitting the market. I want so badly to hang onto every last ounce of summer, but wow do I fall victim to fall fashion. Why yes, I’m melting into a pool of sweat every…
This has been a hot week (as Jack likes to say, “toasty toasty toasty!”) but an overall great one. I am feeling kind of torn down the middle myself. On one hand, I’m starting to feel more like myself “postpartum.” Working out feels great, I am making time for friends again, signing up for new…
July was a whirlwind month with lots of fun travel between our Nantucket trip and spending time at Mike’s family’s lake house. Now that we’re back home, we’re trying to soak up the rest of summer before school starts and gearing up for Jack’s third birthday later this month! I’ve been doing a little shopping…
I know, I know… Summer isn’t over yet! But tomorrow is the first day of August and retailers have officially started releasing their early fall collections. The “in-between” weather, when it’s after Labor Day but still hot, can be a little awkward to dress for, so I put together some transitional fall outfits for inspiration….
The past week was a bit of a blur. We were at Mike’s family’s lake house, which is always a highlight of our summer, and then made the trek home and had a really nice weekend here. I can’t believe it’s almost August. I feel like we fit in so much this summer and it’s just…
I very rarely wear yellow but I’ve been gravitating to the color more and more, especially this summer. Pale “butter” yellow is very much in right now but it’s just not right for my skin tone. (My skin is, kind of, pale butter yellow 🤣.) This punchy bright yellow shift dress felt classic and, while…
I’m going to be doing an updated Nantucket travel guide soon (lots of new updates and favorites to share as I’ve gotten to know the island even more), but I wanted to first do a travel guide specific to Nantucket with kids. I have a toddler and a baby and recently came back from our…
This is what we’ve been up to the last two weeks according to my camera roll! I wish we had had more time to explore the grounds of Blue Hill at Stone Barns. A huge storm was rolling in but maybe one day we’ll go back and do the proper tour! I got a mini…

Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours

I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
