I’ve always wanted to knit. A million years ago, I tried to teach myself how to knit. I think it was the summer before eighth grade. Sitting on the floor of my bedroom with a book written for kids and a ball of scratchy yarn, I tried and tried. I remember being so frustrated. I…
This is a reflection as part of my Work Life month of 2013! Working at a startup is really crazy, and totally not for everyone. Personally, I kind of thrive off that running-on-a-super-fast-treadmill environment. And one of the things I’ve learned is that it’s important to be knowledgeable about lots of different areas. You definitely…
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I purchased the Jawbone UP wristband and promised a review. Well… here it is!!! I tried to include as much information in the video as possible but I realized really quickly that it would take probably an hour to really get into everything. There are so many features. Review…
In high school, we had the regular senior superlatives. Most likely to succeed, best dressed, cutest couple… etc. We also had “funny” ones that were announced at our senior banquet. Truthfully, I don’t remember many of the other ones and I don’t remember how they were even voted for. I assume people voted somehow, but…
I’m not the type of person to go out and buy “trendy” clothing. (I’m still regretting the ripped jeans from high school!) It’s not that I’m against trends, I’d rather just not spend a lot of money on something that will end up at the bottom of my closet in a few short months. And…
One of the most frequently asked questions that I get is what blogs I read. I definitely keep up with my friends who blog. And I almost always check out the blogs of people who tweet at me or email! I love seeing what everyone is up to. However, I don’t really spend that much…
I had a mini-draft of this that I jotted down in various places. A few thoughts on my iPhone. Phrases scribbled on the backs of receipts from brunches. Ideas circulating around in my head. It wasn’t going to be published or shared, but instead just something for me and my journals. But then yesterday happened….
I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing 90% of the time. Actually, make that 99%. And the 1% is more or less a fluke. There’s a little bit of trial and error going on. And a lot a bit of “fake it ’til you make it.” Apparently this is normal, but I…

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»

send this to your best friend 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
