It’s National Wear Your Lilly Day to celebrate. I missed the memo. Whoops! But… I’ll commemorate the event with a bunch of cute things from Lilly Pulitzer. (Because that must count for something, right?) Today, if you make a purchase over $250, you’ll receive an exclusive printed wristlet… or a keychain with any purchase. Perfect…
The office is always freezing. The problem is that there are, like, three people (including myself) who think it’s cold and everyone else is always warm. Everyone always disagrees when it comes to the thermostat .. but the shivering employees are nearly always outnumbered. I’m tempted to bring a coat to work every day just so that I…

Confession: I’ve only recently begun to take my iPhone app organization seriously. I really decided to pare down on the number of apps I had and get them all organized properly on a whim. I’ve never had a subway ride go faster in my life… and it stopped four times between 14th St and Grand…
Every time I get to that point where I think I’ve had enough of the city… I have these miraculously beautiful days. The weather is perfect. Work goes smoothly. A couple of a-ha moments occur. The to-do list isn’t crushing my soul. Every drop of coffee is perfect. The subway is efficient. And my hair…
How cute is this Joie dress? I think I would love to run around town in it on the weekends and throw over bathing suits at the beach! Shop more summery looks from Joie below: xoxo PS Shopbop has tons of looks perfect for the summer right now!
I definitely had typical teenage acne growing up throughout high school. Oh, you seriously couldn’t pay me to go back to the teenage years. Braces, gangly legs, and zits. No thank you. Except… my skin is going crazy right now. It’s absolutely from stress, and the fact that New York City is just kind of…
As much as I love having some fun heels to wear to work and to go out in, I have been seriously loving being able to wear sandals! Maybe it’s because I’ve been wearing heels much more frequently that my feet now rejoice when I slip into sandals. Because storage in my apartment is tight (how…

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!
