My schedule is starting to fill back upā not necessarily with in person things, but I definitely feel a greater sense of “new” normalcy settling in. However, I still try to keep my weekends work-free(ish). If I do have to work, I will front load it and get as much done as possible on Saturday…
2023 Personal Reading Reflections Before I get into my favorite books of the year, I thought I should reflect a little bit on my reading journey in 2023. 2023 was one of the hardest years for myself and reading, as always, was my personal escape. When I experienced a miscarriage at the beginning of the…
It’s so funnyā when I read the title of the Google Doc Maxie shared with me, I thought, “Max and I haveĀ so been there together.” We always end up turning to each other when we feel lost. Two times a year (each), max, but it happens. And then we hash it out together. Maxie’s tips…
This post is sponsored by Hunter Douglas. We have lived in our house for over three years, and I finally feel like we’re making progress on making this house our “home.” I have a hard time figuring out anything when it comes to interiors. A big problem is that I need to really live in…
Even if you don’t know what Sriracha is, you have probably seen the bottle before. Garrett watched this documentary about Sriracha and immediately needed a bottle to give it a go. “It goes with everything,” he told me. I watched it with him too and thought it was one of the best stories as far…
Sorry for the lack of posts, I have been putting in some major hours in the library studying for finals and writing papers. I have two term papers (one of which I turned in on Monday, thank goodness) and three finals. Since I have an exam on the 21st, I still have just under a…
So, I posted about Pandora way back in April 2009… and my love for his definitely has not gone away. Especially since I’m still chugging along in the exams… Ughhhhh…. Pandora is fabulous for studying. My favorite station for studying? Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (naturally). Favorite station in general? Hey, Soul Sister (it reads my mind) (CP side…
Another great week for the record books. Actually, my last full week as a 24 year old! Some notable moments: brunch with friends from college, meeting new friends (Buggy!), puppy playdates, catching up with Alex from Persifor and meeting her beautiful new baby girl, lobster rolls with Julia before she moves, interviewing a seriously awesome…
What did you guys think of Wildflower Hill??? I loved it. I kinda want to re-read it. Unfortunately, I have the final Harry Potter book, an unfinished book, five group projects, and finals looming over my head…. Next up: The Mill River Recluse by Darcie Chan Full disclosure: This reads just like a Lifetime Movie……
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
