Valentine’s Day can feel super commercial and cheesy (although I still find that fun). Regardless of the pomp and circumstance, it’s a good reminder just to celebrate love. Celebrate Love, Coupled or Not Guest post by Maxie McCoy Itās that time of year again! The shelves are brimming with pink and red candies. Flower shops…
I leave for Georgetown on Saturday morning. I have very mixed emotions about heading back to DC for school. I have loved being home this summer and spending time with Soccer Mom & Dad and Sporty Sister (and our two cats Pookie and SoHo). Things I will miss: My family My cats Favorite restaurants &…
I saw little wine glasses with Lilly fabric on ebay a few weeks ago… I thought to myself that it would be relatively easy to make… But what to decorate? Shotglasses… for the over 21ers, of course! How adorable would these be for a twenty first birthday present??? So I did a little research online…
Soccer Mom and I love to shop and decided to check out some stores we hadn’t visited. Ā A few days ago, we went to Home Goods. Ā There was a Home Goods near where we lived in Massachusetts, but I hadn’t been to the one here. Ā It’s about 25 minutes away. Ā I considered it more of…
Somehow, I only have two finals out of my five classes. Ā I feel pretty lucky, except I have MANY final papers. Ā I’m currently working on my second to last paper for my ethics class and I’m just about dying doing so. Ā Philosophy is not for everyone, and I believe I am the perfect example. Ā Thinking…
On one hand, I’m kind of glad Pinterest wasn’t around when I was heading off to college. How I wanted to decorate my dorm was largely imagined from what I saw on Facebook. But on the other hand, when I saw the perfectly decorated dorm rooms, I really wished I had done the same thing. I always felt like I was livingĀ in a dorm, instead of a cozy room I could call “home.”
Picking out cute bedding is as far as I could (can) get on my own. After college, I enlisted the help of Havenly to spruce up my NYC apartment. And when I moved to Connecticut, I used Havenly’sĀ design services again for help with my living room design.
They have a new service right now for decorating dorm rooms and, um, the designs are perfect.
Newsflash. I’m in the business school. Do you know what that means? Besides learning super interesting (and oh so useful) excel shortcuts and preparing for twenty page cases each week, it means that I get to be a part of FIVE groups!!! And the BEST part? The projects aren’t a “one and done” deal. We…
As far as weeks go, this one was great. So many fun things happening and the fact that the weather cooperated was just the icing on the cake. I don’t think “cooperated” is even the right word here; the weather was truly showing off for us. And I loved every second of it! wearing: straw…
This is so cheesy, but the minute I found out I was pregnant, I started dreaming about all the things I couldn’t wait to do with my child! I was looking forward to big things like all the Christmas mornings and the mundane things like picking him/her up from school and everything in between. I…

With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
