Today’s post is all about needlepoint for beginners! “Needlepoint” was one of my top search terms for 2019. Which is crazy because I didn’t personally start to needlepoint until the end of the summer. Had I started on January 1, I think it would have definitely been the most searched term. I’ve been THRILLED to…
Not into traditional gift giving? Or, do you need to get a gift for someone who “has everything”? Or do you need to get something for a recipient who’s hard to please? I typically buy presents for my friends and family members because I know that they’ll like something specific. But, sometimes I really come up short!…
The Sweet Lemon Magazine team and I are obsessed with doughnuts. Like, 100% in love with the little confectionery treats. The look, the smell, the cuteness… but especially the taste!!! I am also Dunkin Donut’s biggest (coffee) fan and every time I drive through for coffee I am so tempted to buy a doughnut. (And even more…
Honestly not much new to report. Just getting through the days, putting one foot in front of the other. I have written and re-written this paragraph like four times and honestly I just have nothing to say but to keep on keeping on (at home, if you can). āš» Made some more masks for friends…
After all the fun I had making the Instagram Photostrips, I decided to put together another tutorial! I’ve grown even more obsessed with Instagram. I honestly didn’t think it was possible. But here I am, even more addicted. I don’t have cell service in the business school building, which is actually a great thing because otherwise…
Needlepoint has been around aĀ long time, but it’s totally going through a bit of a resurgence right now. After seeing one too many super cute designs on Instagram and watching my friend create a one of a kind belt for her husband, I decided to give it a try. Or, you know, jump on the…
Remember the project that I’ve been hinting at in various blog posts and tweets? Well part of it was the article I wrote for Today.com about starting college, and the other, well… I can finally show you! I did a photoshoot slash blog post for The Look, Today.com’s fashion blog. I’m not sure if I…
I had so much fun modeling for Makeup.com a couple of weeks ago! I’m a super basic makeup girl. It’s a good day when I remember to do all the steps. (Confession: if someone tells me “steps” of how to do makeup… I stick to that for, well, ever.) I love makeup, but it’s not my…
I recently hit a 1,000 day streak on Duolingo (today will be day 1,040!!) and I wanted to share my experience with the app. If you’re unfamiliar with Duolingo, it’s a great app to learn new languages with. It’s very user-friendly and there is a free version as well as a paid version. WHAT LANGUAGE…
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
