One of those weeks where nothing quite went as planned. But to focus on some positives… I had incredible customer service from ADP (my payroll service) and UPS; I feel like great customer service needs to be praised so I’m all about taking surveys and sending the best possible feedback up the chain. I also…
It’s no secret that I love to read. I spend at least few minutes every night reading, but I’ve also gotten super into listening to audiobooks. Certain books don’t work as audiobooks, but I’ve had great luck with listening to nonfiction books. Recently I downloaded The Little Book of Hygge. It’s under four hours so it was…
My friend Naomi does a series on her blog comprised of little letters. (If you don’t follow her blog, you should! She was one of the first blogs I followed… we were both in DC at the time, I was in college and she had just had her daughter Eleanor.) I’m totally copying her today…
Remember my January spending freeze? Well, I broke it on February first by buying this sweater. I haven’t purchased any other clothes since (I’m feeling pretty proud of myself…), but I just had to have this one. I think that’s been my favorite part about the freeze. Now when I buy something it’s because I reallllllllly want…
I want to make everything in this post! Maybe I’ll just have to hole myself up in the kitchen and make everything for myself. What a feast that would be. ❤ What to Cook for Valentine’s Day Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou Hate it, or love it, Valentine’s Day is coming up, and…
Chocolate dipped strawberries are delicious. End of story. I think they have a reputation for being a fancier dessert, but in my opinion, there’s no bad time to have a few. With Valentine’s Day coming up, we made a few last week as a snack and, ugh, they are so good! I really like them,…
Someone DMed me the other day asking about my favorite white shirts. Besides grey sweaters, I can’t seem to get enough white shirts. I have a huge selection because I find that they’re perfect for just about every occasion. So I have to confess that my NUMBER ONE favorite shirt is an oxford cloth button down from…
Trying to balance a heavier workload with an upcoming move is starting to drive me crazy! I am all about making lists right now because it’s the only thing keeping my head afloat. A few people asked if I could do a post on moving and honestly? Making lists and trying just to get stuff…
In an effort to wear more of what I already own, I’ve been trying to sift through my closet and really find out what my favorite pieces are.

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
