My life is kind of upside down right now. It’s a little overwhelming and a quite exhilarating all at once. But of course, with all kinds of change, anxiety is inevitable. I’ve taken up meditating, committed to working out more, and even attempting to go to sleep before midnight. Big things people, very big things. I’ve definitely gotten…
One of the questions I receive all the time is what kind of shoes to wear to work or wear to an interview. I think the irony of this is that I rarely know what to wear. So we’re in this together. My job is super casual (sneakers? totally fine.), but I still have various meetings…
I really can’t believe that today marks ONE YEAR at my job. In a bunch of ways, it seems like it has just flown by. Yet… being a student seems like ages ago. Eons even. I don’t even think you can really compare being a student and working full time. It’s such a completely different experience….
Kindness is something that I think is hard to come by nowadays. I don’t really know if “nice” is the right word. Sometimes I think “nice” gets roped into passivity. Be a nice girl. Buy nice clothes. Have a nice job and live in a nice house, with a nice car in the garage. Wear…
One of the questions I get asked the absolute most is how I balance everything. I find this annoying… not in the actual question itself, but more so in the fact that there is always ten (and a half) different opinions on work/life balance. It’s integration! You can have it all! There’s no such thing as…
These posts are always my favorite. I get to do a mini-reflection and they serve as fun reminders of what has (or hasn’t) changed over the years. In no particular order, here are my top 10 favorites of 2012. 1. Georgetown University | Leaving Georgetown was bittersweet. While I was absolutely more than ready to…
I received an interesting email from someone a few months ago. I’m pretty used to receiving interesting (read: not the nicest) emails and, for the most part, I just ignore them. For every interesting email I receive, I have a handful of nice ones. I am focusing on the net gain here š This particular email though…
If you “like” Lilly Pulitzer on Facebook, you’ve probably noticed that they’re having a contest for colleges. Not just any contest though… It’s a competition to see which school Lilly will go to for job recruitment. Um, can we all just take a moment here… Dream. Job. Alert. The HR team at Lilly wrote this guest…
Remember how I gave up watching television? Well, for starters, I don’t know how I managed to watch so much before now. The first week was tough. I could have easily caught up with one or two episodes of Gossip Girl or Glee… but then I had missed a week and it felt too daunting…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
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
