I have been experimenting with new styles. I think because I’m buying less and buying more thoughtfully, I’ve determined that I have pretty much everything I need for a staple wardrobe. It’s the fun items– like jumpsuits– that I historically haven’t purchased. My mom rocks a jumpsuit like no one’s business and I wanted to have…
… and my striped shirt, again. By now you know my love for this striped shirt runs deep. I think it’s the ~perfect~ shirt and I wear it at least once a week. If I’m not actually traveling in it, it’s in my suitcase. It is a staple in my closet and I don’t see…
Currently in major limbo with our living situation. Hopefully, good news is coming (and if not it’ll at least be an epically ridiculous story to tell anyway) but because so many things have been up in the air, I was extra drawn to reading this month. It was the only thing before bed that would…
So I always have the hardest time figuring out the right skirt and blouse combinations. It’s probably why I usually opt for jeans or a dress. So much easier to find proportions that fit my body (smaller waist, larger chest). Even though skirts and tops are easier to buy two separate sizes, I find that…
I can’t believe I still have Nantucket photos. I seriously wish I could relive that week over and over again. I packed this dress for the trip and, surprise, it’s gingham. I’m all about a wrap dress but find them to be too fussy to deal with on an everyday basis, let alone while traveling. Thankfully…
I’m actually kind of excited about turning 30… but even still I was thinking about how much happens in your twenties. I don’t think I fully realized just how defining the decade is until I was well into the latter half of it. It’s only when I looked back on everything that happened since turning…
I wanted to make sure my entire trip was in one post instead of spreading it out between different posts. As a result, it’s long and photo-heavy. I hope you don’t mind… at the very least, consider this a 20-minute escape from your everyday. Ideally, I wish everyone could have tagged along for the trip…
I’m going to do a separate post for Black Friday. Although, don’t you feel like all the sales have kind of already started? It’s now called “Cyber Week,” apparently. Crazy! I will say though that I think this year the sales are better than ever, but I didn’t want to skip over my “On My…
Anyone else feeling slightly overwhelmed by all the sales going on? I know I am and I kind of shop online for a living. There’s just so much out there right now. I’m rounding up what I consider to be the “best buys” right now to help you narrow it down. Don’t forget, you can find…
Go sports! ⚽️✌🏻🥅 🤍 Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun

August, you were long, hot, and stormy. And you were also oh so full with Jack’s third birthday, perfectly lazy afternoons at the pond, and all the brotherly love you could hope for as a mama. 🫶🏻☀️🎂🤍💫
About a year late to the Barbie pink 🩷 (this @tuckernuck dress is perfection right?!) #tuckernucking
This poem by @josiebalka came at the perfect time for me. I first heard it at the end of my pregnancy when I was feeling unfit and swollen and exhausted. Then it became my mantra this summer. My jeans are, in fact, a bigger size this year than they were last year. Many days this summer I didn’t want to put on my bathing suit. I didn’t want to go into the water. I didn’t want to wear the shorts or the sleeveless dresses. I have @josiebalka’s poem saved on my phone so I could give it another listen as a little pep talk before getting dressed. 🫶🏻 As summer winds down, I’m so glad I swam in the pool, pond, lake, and ocean with my boys! I’m so glad I wore the bathing suit for slip n slides and shorts to be comfortable in the heat waves and the sleeveless dresses that spoke to me!
