I have a slight addiction to Little Black Dresses. It’s funny because I used to refuse to wear black ever because of my pale skin. (In seventh grade, a boy told me I looked “like a vampire” when I wore a black sweater to school. I kid you not, I never wear black clothing without…
This past week, I sat down to fill out a little birthday book for Jack. It was a gift from a friend at my baby showerā and it’s darling: a little binder to fill in photos from your child’s birthday (from their “birth day” through eighteen). I had a ton of photos printed and sat…
I hope everyone is ready for lots of Lilly outfits this summer. I mentioned it a few weeks ago, but I went a little crazy when all the new summer dresses came out. The prints seemed too perfect to pass up. Leading up to my trip to Florida, I knew I wanted to stock my luggage…
My friend, knowing my love for pink and green, gave me the absolute cutest gift for Graduation. Ā Scout Bags by Bungalow are one of the most versatile totes around. Ā Since the bags areĀ laminated, they can be brought to the beach or used as an alternative grocery bag. Ā The bag that I have has a pink…
Kind of a hit and miss month with reading. TO RAISE A BOY by Emma Brown 5/5 Stars The full title is To Raise a Boy: Classrooms, Locker Rooms, Bedrooms, and the Hidden Struggles of American Boyhood. It dives deep into what it’s like to be a boy growing up and the unique challenges they…
I’m adding a new segment to my blog’s repertoire called The Secret Life of a College Prepster. There are many, many other college students out there writing blogs and I thought it would be interesting to introduce them to y’all (in case you didn’t already know them). Unlike my Confessions of a College Prepster posts,…
These posts have been highly requested! I’ve been keeping a running list of our “most used” items during Jack’s first year for new moms. I personally found it so confusing to know what weĀ really needed and when we needed it. Of course, every baby and every family is different but I thought it would be…
I typically love heading south for Christmas. Of course, it’s where my family is so it’s where we celebrate the holiday. But I also love sneaking away from the cold weather for a few days. (I always have to mentally prepare myself for a frigid January!) I do get a little jealous when I think…
I wasn’t sure if I was going to even approach this topic on here (there are, in fact, aspects of my life that I keep offline). However, I figured that maybe this would be serve as a good reminder or even a lesson. Basically, I had a not-so-insignificant health scare last weekend. I’ve always been…
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
