Have you missed Little V as much as I have?!? We gchat regularly, but it’s just not the same! I miss taking “study breaks” and shopping on M St. I miss eating dinner together. I miss listening to the Country Strong soundtrack on repeat. I especially miss our outfit coordinations!!! Little V’s Update from Oxford….
{I had originally drafted a post and realized it was much more Prep Talk material… don’t forget to sign up for my weekly newsletter!} So Valentine’s Day is kind of one of those holidays I have a love/hate relationship with. I’m not too big into holidays in general, and Valentine’s Day is nice. For starters, it’s…
Here’s what we were up to on Nantucket! I had the hardest time narrowing this down, so I’m sharing some of my random but favorite snaps. The best view in my opinion! There’s just nothing better than arriving to the house after a long journey and knowing you have a whole vacation ahead of you….
When I put out a request for people to submit small businesses for a gift guide, I had no idea what to expect. I was blown away by how quickly the form filled up… and then going through everyone’s websites I was BLOWN AWAY by the quality of items. I am so proud of everyone,…
I’m going to be doing an updated Nantucket travel guide soon (lots of new updates and favorites to share as I’ve gotten to know the island even more), but I wanted to first do a travel guide specific to traveling with little kids. I have a toddler and a baby and recently came back from…
I’ve been waiting to announce this for a few reasons. For starters, I didn’t want to write about it publicly while it was still very raw to me. Frankly, it’s still a little raw, but I have had time to think and plan and reassure myself of my decision. I was also really nervous to…
Last year, when Jack was a whopping six months old, “he” sent out valentines to a few friends. These were his cousins and the kids of our friends. I bought little valentines from Minted and vintage sticker sheets from Etsy and mailed them all around the country! Maybe a little over the top, but it…
I feel like I’ve been to Nantucket enough times where I can offer some advice on how to plan a great trip. That said, I’m not an expert on the island. Despite its relatively small size (less than 48 square miles!), there are always new pockets to explore. I certainly haven’t covered everything as far as what…
Little V is 21!!! She has the best birthday present: Another SNOW DAY! I can’t imagine having school for the rest of the week too… Outside my window is just a wall of WHITE! Little V’s older brother (who lives in DC too) organized a whole big surprise party for her. While she was out…
Happy October 11 to all who celebrate 🎂”Your birthday is October 11?! So is mine!” SIX years later and these parent trap Halloween costumes remain as relevant as ever (frankly maybe even more relevant). Forever grateful to @carlyahill, the Hallie Parker to my Annie James. I believe there was a cultural reset the day we did this 🙊
Sometimes I actually can’t believe I’m a mom? Like I’m standing there holding a baby dressed in a bear fleece bunting watching my toddler running around and thinking, “whoa, these are my CHILDREN? I am a MOM???” Crazy and amazing 🫶🏻
Hunter boots 🤝🏻 Carly
I know, I know, they never went “out” in my opinion too, but I love seeing them come back into mainstream fashion. (As they should IMO!) These red boots were one of my first viral commissionable products on my blog- they took OFF on Pinterest and the rest was history. Feels like revisiting an old friend 😌 I bought these red ones right before a press trip to Scotland (!) with Barbour (!!) and I have the best memories. It’s a good reminder to “buy nice or buy twice.” Ten years later and we’re still going strong!
Barn Jacket is @oldnavy, embroidered by @bobinettedesigns (inspired by @goldcoastdyes)
What would Audrey Hepburn wear in 2024? I think she’d wear something like this! Shop my head to toe look from @EvereveOfficial in my LTK Shop! https://liketk.it/4SYrI #EverevePartner #EvereveStyle
Can you believe that Teddy is 11 years old? We recently switched to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It combines all the benefits of raw nutrition with the convenience of kibble. Each kibble-sized bite is crafted with freeze-dried raw meat and individually prepared ingredients for optimal digestibility, making it extremely convenient AND nutritious. #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
Ready for a fresh start this month. September is usually my favorite month of the year and I feel like it went by so fast I hardly got to enjoy it- the whole thing was a blur. Ready to savor October- I have a list of things I want to try to do (like sewing the boys’ Halloween costumes 🎃 and keep practicing my sourdough 🍞). If nothing else, I’m trying to take a moment *every day* to do something, even the tiniest 5-minute interlude, that brings me a moment of peace.
PS I definitely need to add some of the bigger blooms but I didn’t want to sacrifice them just yet 🙈
A simple September Sunday 🌧️💛 We’ve been trying to get out and do one last weekend adventure after naptime on Sunday afternoons before gearing back up for the weekday routine. Not even the rain could stop us!
Maybe this Reel isn’t exactly “instagram worthy” but it’s exactly what life looks and feels like right now and THAT is worthy of a permanent spot on the feed 🫶🏻
