I bet you were expecting recipes for this one… Sorry to disappoint! Instead, I wanted to share my top five types of meals. I think meals are important. Not in a balanced, nutritional kind of way (although that is important, too). Having conversations and taking the time to break and eat can be a huge personal…
I have been obsessed with RED Valentino. Like, really obsessed. Do I have a private Pinterest board with my favorite looks that I just lust over? Maybe. Everything is just so flirty and girly… and beautiful. It would be amazing to be able to fill my closet from left to right with every piece. But, of…
I try to maximize the number of things I can do in a day. I’ll give it the old girl scout try to pack it all in, which sounds aggressive… but it actually includes everything. A nap if I want/need to nap, a trip to the dog park for an afternoon with Teddy, time with Garrett,…
One thing I hate about the mornings? Getting dressed. I like to look put together, but the actual “putting together” part gets on my nerves. That’s why I love having some easy-to-wear outfits ready to go in my back pocket. Sweater + button up + riding boots seems to do the trick when it’s cold……
My friend Jaime from The Prepary is back with more tips for the workplace. This time, she’s sharing super timely tips: ways to be the best summer intern. (And these tips can apply to more than internshipsā especially that first year at your job!) Having worked with interns at my old job, these tips are…
Maxie must know that my looming 25th birthday has been on my mind recently! I’m actually pretty excited about the birthday because I think life gets better and better every year. Part of that is absolutely the result of makingā and learning fromā mistakes made the year before. As I read through her post, I…
This entire week was one giant pinch-me moment. Honestly, it was so amazing… I’m not even sure where to begin. Even though I still have this stupid cold (and it randomly got really mad mid-week), I was go-go-go doing all sorts of fun things. On Monday night, a few bloggers (thank you Jess for organizing!!!) and…
I will never forget when my 9th grade English teacher stood in front of our class and demonstrated what our “plates” looked like.. That is, we had a lot on our plates (plural) and they were “a’spinning.” I wish I had a video of it. The image of her on one leg balancing invisible spinning…
I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what tumblr even is and why I need one and how does it work. I think the best way to describe it is as “micro-blogging.” It’s more random, quicker, and spur of the moment. You don’t have to spend an hour typing a full “post” like you…
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
