I’m normally pretty good about not making rash decisions. (If anything, I tend to wait way too long to make a decision because I want to make sure it’sĀ perfect.) But at the beginning of the year, I found myself itching to make big changes. I never felt good about the choices; I was just bulldozing…
I have so many wedding/marriage related questions. This is such a weird time to get engaged, which I’m sure is adding to my emotions on everything. (I weirdly even feel guilty at times for being so happy and excited? It’s hard to wrap your mind around the fact that life still goes on even when…
Maybe itās because my middle name is Abigail, but Iāve always wanted to have an advice column like āDear Abby.ā My tumblr has turned into one variation of an advice column, but I have something even better now! (This is also a valuable lesson in networking, so listen up!) Remember how last semester I…
I haven’t fully come to terms with what went down last year. It was a “perfect storm” of a wild and intense year from the pandemic to the election and everything in between. Even justĀ one of those things would have been enough, but to have it all happen?! It was a lot. I found myself…
The other week, I went to a book reading by Kate White for the release of her new book, Eyes on You. She’s pretty amazing and the Q&A section after was full of inspiration and great tips. I’m always too afraid to ask questions at these sorts of things, so I’m glad the audience asked…
This is the perfect post from Maxie for a Monday! I always have the best intentions at the beginning of the week, but by the end I know there were moments where I could have used my time more wisely. Hoping this will serve as a guide this week! 5 Questions to Ask to Make…
I’m not really sure how I feel about horoscopes, but I read them. All the time. If I come across a link online, I click on it. If I’m reading a magazine, I read it. I search for consistencies with my life, but almost always fail to see any real connection to my reality. Except…
I struggled to get in the mood to read this month. I usually am pretty good about reading consistently, every day. But for whatever reason, I found myself reading in bursts… unable to put a book down for an entire weekend afternoon and then not being in the right mindset to read for days. It…
I had a fairly productive week, which felt amazing. I had absolutely been letting certain balls drop from a mixture of travel, exhaustion, and overwhelm. It felt good to get things done. This weekend should be nice and low-key, too. My favorite kind of summer weekend! Dress (on sale!) // Sunglasses // Phone Crossbody Here’s…
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!)
