ONE // Talita von Furstenberg You know I’m really obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg… so naturally I’m pretty jealous of her granddaughter Talita. I mean, she sits in on meetings with Anna Wintour and had mini wrap dresses made for her when she was a child. #dreamlife TWO // Girls Season 3 I CANNOT WAIT. Guys, I…
I know… so many sales… but… I mean, I can’t really apologize for this one! Hello, Kate Spade. Enjoy 30% off everything (wah, except for the Beau Bag!) during the Friends and Family sale using the code FALL13FF at checkout. I pulled some of my favorite pieces (black, white, and gold!)… I simply cannot resist a…
A conversation I keep having over and over again is the importance of the energy around you. I feel like I’m an absolute sponge when it comes to energy. I soak up whatever is circling around me. Now, this is incredible when I’m surrounded by great energy. And totally detrimental when I’m surrounded by bad…
Now that I’m completely self-employed, I’ve found that my eating habits are all over the place. Some days, I’m so laser focused on what I’m doing that I don’t remember to eat until I’m about to faint. Other days, I find myself snacking on pretzels, chips, Oreos (ugh), or whatever I happen to have in my…
Someone asked me a question on Tumblr that really got me thinking… She asked if I had any regrets in my life. Sometimes I think that I move so fast through life that I don’t have time to really sit back and dwell on the coulda/shoulda/wouldas. (I mean really, it feels like the weather was…
This month has been a seriously great month for sales and a bad month for my wallet… You know what I mean? Too tempting… too, too tempting. (Plus, a few of these things have been on my wish list for some time. So it’s not like an impulse buy, right?) Shopbop is having their Friends &…
Now that I work from home, I’ve been opting for casual jeans and white tees while I work. (Of course, for external meetings it’s a different story!) So while I’ve been rather casual during the day, I like the option of being a little bit more dressed up to grab dinner with friends… without putting…

I’ve been saying the words “Path to Passion” all the time as of late. I first started thinking about this idea of the path to passion when I was on a Google Hangout panel with my ever-favorite Kate White. It kind of stumbled out of my mouth and then kept bouncing around for about a…
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
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!
