Just as a reminder, I’m taking off the next week for the holidays. I hope you guys get to sign off from the internet for a bit too to enjoy time with friends and family! The photo below is from our trip to Lake Placid. This is post-skiing (I use that term lightly since everything except…
I’m starting to wind down on posts for the year and wanted to make sure that I did a recap of all my favorite outfit posts from the year. Narrowing it down is going to be hard because I feel like this was my best year content-wise. We’ll be ending 2017 with a whopping 387…
Carter got invited to go up to Lake Placid and she asked if I wanted to come along. I couldn’t say no! I haven’t been since middle school. My parents’ friends have a stunning home on Mirror Lake and we visited a couple of times. I have great memories of the town and the lake. Going…
One of the biggest ironies of my life is that I was a Division I athlete. I actually have a varsity letter in a men’s sport no less. My dad always said that if he had to put his life-savings on the line, he would have said my sister (formally known as Sporty Sis if…
You know the song “I Wanna Be a Rockette”? That is 100% how I’ve felt pretty much my entire life. Even after I quit dancing in eighth grade, I still dreamed of being a Rockette. It was a childhood dream that I’ve held onto long after it was reasonable or even feasible. I actually used…
As we get closer to Christmas, the window for shopping online is closing! A lot of retailers won’t guarantee delivery unless you upgrade the shipping. One thing that you can buy pretty much up until a few days before the big day? BOOKS. Whether you pop into your local bookstore or shop with Amazon, you can’t go wrong with giving a book for the holidays.
There is a book out there for every recipient. This year two people on my list are getting books (they definitely don’t read my blog, so I’m safe saying that 😉). I’m rounding up some crowd-pleasing options:
This plaid dress had my name written all over it when I spotted it online. I love the length, the cut, and (duh!) the print.
I feel so behind on posting on here. There’s so much I want to share before the end of the year, and I’m scrambling to fit it all in!! Actually, that reminds me. I’m taking off a full week of posting… I think the 23rd through the 29th! (I do have a sponsored post, that…
I know this sounds like a line, but I really don’t take any time with my parents for granted. Someone messaged me last week about how I deal with not living near my family. It’s complicated, and I have a lot of emotion around it, but I have to say that it makes the time I…

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. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
