This is the first On My Radar post on a Friday in a while so… Happy Friday! I flew down to Tampa yesterday with my boyfriend. This is his first time seeing where I grew up so I can’t wait to give him the full tour. (Hope he’s ready for it 😂) When I moved to…
This past weekend, I took a spontaneous solo trip up to Rhode Island. My boyfriend was going to be out of town for a bachelor party, and our apartment had to be vacant on Saturday while an exterminator came. (That’s all I’ll say on that but 😷.) I didn’t want the dogs to be home…
I have more swimsuits than days I actually wear swimsuits. Hopefully, I’m not the only one with this problem. I like to have options, though. Modest one-pieces for more athletic endeavors or trips with family, flirty one-pieces when I’m feeling fun, and cute little bikinis are always a good idea. One style that I’ve been super…
Admittedly, I’m not the trendiest person. I wear what I like, even if it means wearing variations of the same things over and over again, which I am very much guilty of doing. It’s not that I don’t appreciate trends though; for the most part, I do. I look enviously at girls who can pull…
Two weeks ago, Louisa and I actually got together for coffee while she was visiting NYC. I couldn’t believe that after all these years (a stint of contributing to a digital magazine and then four years of guest posting!) we still hadn’t met. It felt like we had already known each IRL. Loved her so…
My inbox has been flooded with graduation gift ideas. My parents gifted me furniture for my first apartment. I couldn’t think of anything better. Sometimes I wish I had opted for something a little fancier like a piece of jewelry, but not having to spend money the first week of moving into an expensive (for…
I had to all caps the title of this post because, um, it’s a gingham cake. Originally hadn’t planned on dedicating a whole post to this. I’ve been trying to keep my Youtube content separate (although if you want to subscribe, please do! two new videos go up every week!) I met Stephanie Nass at an…
I’m more than a little obsessed with this outfit. There is nothing quite like a white tee and jeans in my opinion. Easiest outfit ever? Yes. But also the easiest to accessorize with because it’s such a “blank slate.” Talbots sent me these gingham bow sandals and they have just been sitting pretty. I have been…
It doesn’t matter who you are, at some point, everyone experiences a tough day in one form or another. I wish it wasn’t the case, but life isn’t always “rainbows and butterflies.” Maxie has seen me through a few rough days and I’ve seen her through a few of her own. Loving her tips here…

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳

Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart

#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep.
