Okay! I’m back in the reading groove after falling into a bit of a rut. A major rut. Normally reading is my escape when I’m stressed but this time around, I think I was too stressed to even get good reading in. I picked up What She Knew on a whim. (It was on sale at…
Does anyone else look for signs? I’m kind of superstitious and will find myself saying, “Oh, this has to be a sign…” A string of red lights when I’m running late? A sign that my next meeting won’t go well. Finding twenty dollars in a pair of jeans I haven’t worn since last year? Definitely a…
This post is sponsored by Printique! My number one most frequently asked question right now is: Where do I print my photos??? As a first time mom who can’t seem to stop taking photos of my baby and family, I quickly wanted to ensure that these photos weren’t just stuck on my computer for eternity….
While I’m away in Alaska, I’ve asked some of my friends to share what’s been on their radar lately to mix things up a little bit. (And a day early! Surprise!) Maxie McCoy: Letters to a Young Poet is a must for any creatives looking for inspiration. Within 10 powerful letters, Rilke reminds us that all…
I’ve been researching what seems like a million and a half things for various projects. While the to-do list itself can seem overwhelming from time to time, I have what I like to call “gem moments” almost every single day. I swear, just as I’m going to throw my arms in the air and just…
Of all the recipients, I think finding good gifts for the guys in my life can be a challenge. Whether it’s your brother, dad, boyfriend, cousin, or a friend, it can be challenging picking out the perfect present. But that is part of the fun, isn’t it? Sorting through websites, thinking of their favorite activities,…
My freshman year at Georgetown, I made the huge mistake of buying textbooks from the bookstore on campus. Seriously, worst idea ever. I bought brand new books and would have been better off paying for them by promising them my first born child. I gradually learned over time that I searching online could lead to…
I’ve been doing these Top Ten posts for a few years now and they’re always one of my favorites to put together at the end of the year. This has been quite the year. I honestly thought that graduating college in 2012 would be hard to top in terms of major life changes. Ha, but 2013…
Oh my word. To say that things are crazy right now is an understatement. My favorite song, Girl on Fire, has been on repeat. It’s the one thing that’s keeping my head above water right now. That an online shopping. Which is horribly unhealthy, but oh so addicting. Filling up imaginary shopping carts? Strangely entertaining….
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
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
