And so it begins. The first day of my last semester. Also known as the last first day of school. Hopefully forever. I have no intention of ever going back to school after this semester… unless I start my own reformed education place of learning. But I digress… While I sat in the back of…
I’m so looking forward to being done with classes. I have a crazy, crazy schedule for the next week. Let’s see… tonight I have a fun dinner with friends planned, Monday I have a final exam and a final paper due, Tuesday I’m in Boston, Wednesday I am going to an event with The Limited, and Thursday…… I’m…
I spent the weekend in Rhode Island with Kiel and Sarah and Fred. I’ve been meaning to get up to Rhode Island for a really long time. I almost went last May, but this annoying thing called final exam period got in the way. I ended up booking train tickets quite last minute, but that…
The reading lists in high school were always so long. We had summer reading for just about every single class (even math) and reading the books before the last week of vacation was useless… because there was always a (really hard) test on the first day. I hated reading because of it. I felt guilty reading something…
A few weeks ago, I was invited to speak with a group of high school girls. It was aĀ great afternoon. They are so smart and way more mature than I remember being when I was the same age. I shared my career path: what I do and how I got here. I talked about feeling…
Something that I’ve been learning (of course, always the hard way) is that there are some truths out there in this so-called thing we call life. Some of the truths are amazing and wonderful and sunny. Some of the truths are hard and difficult. Both are necessaryā I always find that the hard truths make…
Maxie is one of my best friends and she has certainly seen and heard about my good (and bad) days and vice versa. We’re both good people, but it can be tempting to be a little bit selfishā especially when we’re having a bad day. (You all know I love my massages!) Her advice is…
The other day, I had a rushed morning. I checked email, chugged my lemon water, hurried in the shower, dropped Teddy off at the groomers, and ran to a meeting. Honestly, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for me, but it didn’t allow much time to think. It was just go. The meeting was…
Dearest Freshmen, Congratulations on being accepted into the best university. I’m sure that everyone back home is very, very proud. I totally get why you bought twenty college shirts, four pairs of sweatpants, three plastic water bottles, and an obnoxious back pack, all in school colors. You must be pretty intelligent to have been accepted….
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
