When did I become the type of person who needs music to listen to??? I remember back in middle school, all of my friends had cool CD players in their bedrooms. I had a tiny green CD player that my sister and I shared. But my friends had ones that would store multiple CDs and…
Right now, I’m trying to plan a trip to go back to Florida for a weekend… but between ridiculously overpriced flights and busy weekend schedules, it’s proving to be a rather difficult task. I did do something last night though that was equally out of character for me and wonderful. I got a massage. Seriously,…
Admittedly, I picked an awful month to talk about style for the year. Or maybe, it’s actually perfect. With freezing temperatures (hopefully) behind us and warmer weather ahead, it’s certainly a period of transition. Even from the morning to the evening the temperature is just unpredictable and all over the place. My closet is currently…
I’m excited to be able to share with you some of Allatia Jane‘s newest products. Everything is just so cute and ready for spring and summer! How cute are these monogrammed Frat Pocket Tees? I love that you can get the shirt monogrammed. The little monogram on the sleeve is great! I’m such a sucker…
Oh, hello there spring. Finally. FINALLY!!!! The weather is wonderful. The city is absolutely coming to life right now. You know that scene from The Secret Garden where everything comes into bloom? Yep. That’s what is currently going on. Everyone is out and about, eating outside and running with puppies. I have most definitely missed the whole…
It’s no secret that I am so not a “beauty guru.” I’m lucky if I walk out of the door with properly applied bronzer. My makeup routine is fairly basic. I try to control my hair, but I generally fail. Bottom line, this is going to be somewhat of a beauty post, so bear with…
I just picked up the latest issue of New York Magazine. I was making a quick run to the pharmacy for emergency Friday chocolate for the office. I am such a sucker for the impulse buys at checkout and, of course, walked out with magazines and bags of chocolate. Perfect. And then it got even…
2013 has been a little bit of a rough year. Nothing ridiculously terrible or life-changing… just off. The superstitious side of me is convinced that this offness is because the number 13 is just terribly odd. (For the record, there is odd… and then there is terribly odd.) I rang in the new year with…
I love Mad Men. This is the one time when I wish that I had cable because I’m super sad that I’m not going to be tuning in every week to watch the show. Oh well, I will wait (more or less) patiently until the new season is released on Netflix or DVD or something. We’ve…
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 ✌🏻
