I love a good salad. But I really think I’m incapable of making a good salad at home. I can never quite get a salad at home to taste as good as a restaurant salad! But it shouldn’t be that hard, right?! Louisa from Living Lou is guest posting today with her tips and I think…
Remember when I said that I had already posted my last Alaska post? I lied! Whoops! I finally had time to sit down and sort through the hours of GoPro footage we had to put together a fun little video. I think I’ll ultimately make a longer version for the four of us, but I…
Barrington Gifts is hosting this week’s giveaway! I think I have a slight obsession with weekenders. I love having a stack of options to choose from and I especially love when they really match the type of trip I’m going on. (Anyone else?!) The Belmont Cabin Bag comes in all kinds of colors and patterns….
I have to share this amazing artwork! Anna, the artist behind Pinodesk, painted this from a photo in this outfit post. She tagged me on Instagram and I was floored. How incredibly talented is she?! I really think she captured the whole thing perfectly, especially my yellow dress! I feel so honored! I also wanted…
Is it just me or do weeks with holidays at the end move very slowly?! I’ve been watching the clock, just so excited to be traveling home to Florida. Can’t wait for swimming and relaxing! I have a semi-crazy day tomorrow and then we’re off first thing in the morning. Lots of packing and prepping…
Nordstrom has a Liberty London pop-in shop going on right now. I’ve always been a fan of the Liberty florals. The pop-in has so many fun things; I kind of want them all. Now I’m in the mood to put on a pot a tea and find a little garden to sit in. (Or, you…
The other day, I had a rushed morning. I checked email, chugged my lemon water, hurried in the shower, dropped Teddy off at the groomers, and ran to a meeting. Honestly, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for me, but it didn’t allow much time to think. It was just go. The meeting was…
I often am overwhelmed by the number of restaurants in NYC. As hard as I try to visit new places, I know I fall into the rut of visiting my favorite tried and true places over and over again or simply ordering in because there’s seemingly always another day for a restaurant adventure. This week,…
I think I hit the jackpot with this dress! Not only does it come in four adorable colors, it has an incredible fit with perfect bow placement. Did I mention that it’s only $52?! I think it’s the perfect dress to wear to a day outing with flats, date night with cute wedges, or to a…
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻
