I’ve read a few books so far this summer… thanks to lots of waiting at the boathouse, rides on the Metro, and pure boredom. House Rules by Jodi Picoult I am just an absolute huge fan of all books written by Jodi Picoult. Aside from the morally intriguing and heart wrenching stories, her writing style…
So I have this theory. It applies specifically to my life, but could probably be manipulated to apply to others. Basically, I divide my life into three categories: School, Crew, and Social. School is essentially grades, projects, stress levels, etc. Crew involves everything: how practices go, if I get time in the launch, what boats…
I just realized that Sporty Sister is GRADUATING from high schoolāSO SCARY! I feel like it was just yesterday that I was gearing up for all the grad parties and events. This post is all about gifts for girl graduates. They’re in ascending prices. Stationery is a super easy gift. Personalized stationery is even better,…
Quarter Life Prep tagged me in a little post. Normally I don’t do these things because I don’t have the patience to figure out clever answers… but I loved the first question so much that I just couldn’t resist! Plus, who doesn’t want to know more about me… I’m just kidding!!! [Ask my rowers, they’ll…
I think that the bathroom is one of the most difficult places to organize. I tend to hoard old makeup (even though I never plan on using it again), free samples, random hair things I’ll never wear, etc. The drawers can end up becoming “junk drawers” really quickly. It’s pretty intimidating when you know that…
While I love a good ballet flat, I think I’m going to be turning more and more to the trusty, classic loafer. I basically lived in my pair last year. I’d definitely like to add a few more styles to the shoe collection as fall approaches. Loafers are great transitional shoes. Wear with bare legs…
Maybe it’s because I’m reading a book about horses or because I’m longing to wear my riding boots… but I’ve been totally into all the equestrian things online. Disclaimer: I’m actually pretty terrified of horses in real life. I’d much prefer to wear a silhouette of a horse or wear riding-inspired boots than actually ever get on…
I’m off to DC today. I’ve been trying to push aside my ever-growing wanderlust, but it’s not going away anytime soon I think! While my trip to DC will be very much welcomed, it’s going to be quick. As in working on the train down in the afternoon and then working on the train again…

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
