On My Radar
This was the first week after the holidays where I felt like I am 100% back to my regular groove. I love a good routine, so it feels amazing! Even though we’re only a couple of weeks into 2018, I feel like so much has already happened. I have a good feeling about this year!!…
Favorite Gifts (Given + Received)
This was such a fun Christmas season. I know we’re a few weeks out, but I wanted to share some of the fun things I received and gave! As always, I tend to go overboard on gifts so I’m just sharing some of the highlights! I hope this post doesn’t come across as tacky or…
Books I’ve Read this Winter
Earlier this week I shared some of my tips for reading more and today I wanted to share some of the books I read over the past few weeks. During my week off from blogging, I spent so much time on the couch with the dogs reading. It was exactly what the doctor ordered! (In fact,…
Dear Evan Hansen
While my parents and sister were in town last month, I was trying to come up with fun things to do. We had plans one day/night, and that left one other full free day/night. Sometimes we go into the city when they’re here and sometimes we don’t. We decided to make a trip to NYC for…
How I Read A Lot
So I’m just going to preface this by saying, I don’t think that I read “a lot.” That’s a pretty subjective measurement! “A lot” of reading for a working mom is going to look different than “a lot” of reading for a student during summer vacation. In 2017, I only read 31 books and about…
4 Ways to Appreciate Your Life More in 2018
“Appreciation” is been at the top of my mind lately. I have been trying to be as appreciative as possible, but I’m only human and sometimes I forget. Maxie’s tips today are great ways to appreciate your life this year… we all can benefit from this for sure! 4 Ways to Appreciate Your Life More…
STAYING WARM
Considering that I’ve forced myself to LOVE winter this year (or at least not hate it), I’ve been narrowing in on how to make it more enjoyable. Without a doubt, the number one thing that I think is going to save me sounds easy enough. (It’s really just common sense.) Dressing. For. The. Weather. There’s a rhymed Norwegian phrase that translates to English as, “There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.”
Sticking to New Year’s Resolutions
This is just a fun weekend post with some items you may need for your New Year’s resolutions. I shared some of my personal goals for 2018 earlier this week. I’m feeling pretty good about staying on top of things. THIS YEAR I WILL… Drink More Water Stay Organized Travel More Read Every Day Journal…

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
