I’ve been pretty MIA from my laptop for about a week. Last weekend I was on the Cape for Nicole and Sean’s wedding and then my parents, sister, and I took the ferry over to Nantucket for a family vacation. I have only opened my laptop for an hour (two max) every night. 🙌🏻 It’s just…
August isn’t completely over yet, and I’m at the very end of one book that I will loop into September’s list. But I wanted to get this up before the long weekend– especially if you’re in the market for some good books for a vacation! THE STARS ARE FIRE: 3.5/5 This was my first Anita Shreve…
I’m turning 30 this weekend! I know it’s cheesy to say, but I think this has been the best year of my life so far. I’ll be doing a much bigger post on Sunday to kind of break down my 20s and why I’m so excited for my 30s. But before I do that, I…
I have always loved the idea of Little Free Libraries. Everything about them makes me feel happy. If you’re unfamiliar, the concept is that they’re mini depots (although someone sent this massive one to me on Twitter!) where books are shared within communities. The premise is that you can take a book and leave a…
After six years of guest posts from Maxie (six years!!!!), today is the last. It’s very bittersweet! I’m forever grateful to Maxie and I’m so proud of what this bi-monthly column has done over the years! How to Deal with Bittersweet Goodbyes Guest post by Maxie McCoy Everything ends. At some point – whether in…
I’m kind of cracking myself about this outfit. Because I wore a fairly similar get up to the first day of sixth grade. I had a denim pencil skirt with a 3/4 length white tee that tied at the neck with suede ribbon. It was my favorite outfit that I wore pretty much once a…
While I usually stick to registries for wedding gifts, sometimes you have to think a little more creatively. I think buying off a registry is the most polite thing to do because you know you’re getting the couple something that they need and/or want. Yes, it’s not the sexiest thing to buy a set of forks…
After a quiet week at home, Mike and I are headed up to the Cape for Nicole’s wedding. I cannot believe this weekend is here!!! It will be so fun to celebrate their nuptials. I’m teary-eyed just thinking about it– so special celebrating your best friend’s wedding. I’m also excited that my parents and sister…
I am obsessed with this dress. Obsessed. I thought it was “cute” online and I threw it in my cart to try on at home. It was expensive enough to give me pause, but I thought it could be an interesting new style to try. (Especially as I’m re-working my wardrobe!) I’m so, so, so…
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
