Happy Fourth of July! We’re celebrating down the shore for a few days. I’m sure there will be plenty of beaching, reading, and eating. (And probably more than a few late-night rounds of Spoons…. anyone else play? Things can get aggressive down here when we play! 😂) Hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday!!
This house has me excited for a lot of things and organization is, naturally, at the top of my list. It was way harder to keep things organized in my last two apartments. Namely, because they were small so everything was more like “hacks” than anything else. (Under the sink in my last apartment was so…
I am OBSESSED with this slip dress. I was kind of intimidated with wearing one because I feared I wasn’t cool enough. However, when I received this one I realized just how versatile this is and it can work with all kinds of personal style. I’ve seen it online with a white button up underneath, nude…
Before we get into Maxie’s tips… I have to share that this really resonated with me. One thing I always remind myself whenever a friend is not happy with me or I’m not happy with them (whatever the reason), is that I am upset because I care. If I didn’t care about that particular friendship I…
I checked my calendar four times to see if it was actually the end of the month. It’s funny that last month, I was writing about how I was so stressed that all I could muster to do for fun was read and this month, we actually did the move!!!! And I’ve had very little…
Interior design is not one of my strengths. It never has been. I can appreciate good design (even if it’s not my taste) and I can easily spot what I do and don’t like. But getting there? Not my forte. I really struggle with paralysis when making decisions for design, especially since it’s not like…
Oh what a week it has been! I’ve been so overwhelmed with the home buying process that I can’t believe we actually live here now. Every morning I wake up (bright and early because we have temporary paper shades, ha) just feeling so excited all over again. This has been nothing short of a dream and…
Since moving on Friday, I have spent so much time unboxing everything. We’re finally all “moved in,” we just don’t have furniture for some of the rooms… But everything we came with is unpacked!! Because I’ve done so much unpacking, I have spent a lot of time listening to Audiobooks and music. If I was doing a…
Anyone else experiencing insane humidity? Here in NYC/New Jersey it’s been so, so humid. I feel a little homesick for Florida because of it (sort of…. I don’t know if I could do this all day every day of the summer!). It feels like we could stick a needle into the sky and it would…
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
Moisture rich balm + Ritual Oil + Balancing Mist

Yes, I’m an iPad adult now ✌🏻 I have been feeling all over the place with how I stay organized. In a dream world, I’d have a good ole fashioned paper planner, but I need something digital that I can access wherever I am and set alarms and reminders and appointments in my digital calendar. Kicking the new year off with a fresh iPad in the hopes that it helps?? Kind of felt like back to school shopping with fresh school supplies (but more expensive lol)… here’s to an organized twenty twenty five!! 🥂
PS I am trying out @goodmondayspaper on @goodnotes.app and went with an 11” iPad Air!
