I’m a little in denial about the year coming to an end! One great thing about having a blog is that it serves as a nice reminder of where I was (mentally and physically!) at any given point in time. Documenting my life can be weird at times, but I can’t deny that IĀ love looking…
I’ve been getting emails requesting for me to write a post about how to organize, set, and stick to a budget. Two problems with this. The first is that I don’t feel comfortable sharing my personal finances on here… and the second is that budgeting significantly differs for everyone. I’ve seen “downloadable” budgets, but… it’s really…

I love to read. I’m not an avid reader during the school year, but I manage to get through a few pleasure books a semester. I always have a pleasure book thrown in my backpack or Longchamp for any unexpected waits. As some of you readers know, I have this issue about punctuality; I am…
Today I’m participating in a blog link up. I thought it would be fun for everyone because you can bop around different blogs to see what other people included in theirs. The question for this is… “What did you purchase in the past year that became invaluable to you? Something that makes you thinkā how…
College Prep’s latest sponsor is Accessory Scout Auctions. This is a fun way to shop… and I know that you’re going to love the jewelry featured. There are some truly beautiful (okay, okay… everything is beautiful) pieces! I love everything, but here are some photographs of recent things featured. I love the styling of the jewelry too. …
Lots of GREAT news regarding The Freshman 50. First, it’s now available on BN.com. It’s published as a Barnes & Noble ebook (pubit). It can be read on a Nook device or a Nook app. As a Nook owner myself, I was thrilled to get my book on B&N!!! TF50 (as I’ve lovingly begun to…
I did a Q&A on my Instagram story earlier this week and got a ton of questions regarding motherhood and all things baby. I was trying to find a mix of questions to respond to that weren’t just baby-focused, but at least 95% were. I figured I could do some of the frequently asked questions…
Today, Maxie is sharing her best tips for building a personal brand! This is a great refresher if you’ve built one already… and a great jumping off point if you realize that you have one (even if you don’t realize it yet š). Where to Begin with Building a Personal BrandĀ Guest post by Maxie…

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
