I have more swimsuits than days I actually wear swimsuits. Hopefully, I’m not the only one with this problem. I like to have options, though. Modest one-pieces for more athletic endeavorsĀ or trips with family, flirty one-pieces when I’m feeling fun, and cute little bikinis are always a good idea. One style that I’ve been super…
Biiiiiiiiig breath. That’s me talking to myself right now. I’ve dreaded this post, and I’ve also thought about it pretty much every day since the day I broke up with my ex-boyfriend. But, to be totally upfront right now, this isĀ not about him or the details of the breakup. It’s no one’s business, including my…
I’m getting closer to the point where I’m ready to buy my first piece of property. While I can’t wait to build a nice little home for a family, I’m not quiteĀ there yet. A big problem with buying a house is that I don’t know where I want to live long term. For now, renting…
I had way too much fun pulling this list together. It’s kind of lumped all together, so definitely take your time going through the different things. Once I started, I couldn’t stop. I know that not all the gifts work for all men, but I tried to include all kinds of fun things for the…
National Thrift Day is this Saturday, August 17. I’m excited to announce my partnership withĀ my favorite online resale site thredUPĀ just in time to celebrate the dayĀ (stay tuned for a special promo at the end of this post). This year I’ve been really trying to implement greener practices into my life. I’m not perfect, but I’m…
Have you guys heard about Bullet Journaling before? It’s a journaling system created by Ryder Carroll, and it has a cult following. I’ve considered it from time to time but would watch a video and get overwhelmed. One of my friends texted me saying she was going to start one and I fell back down…
Another whirlwind week in the books. Spent just over 24 hours in the city with Gal Meets Glam for their coat launchĀ and then just hunkered down at home. Mike was also away for over a week and it was so nice having him back. I never minded being home alone in any apartment (and, frankly,…
After I wrote yesterday’s blog post, I was inspired to start looking for fun fall fashion finds for toddler and baby boys. Rory and Jack are almost exactly 2.5 years apart so they’re different sizes in different seasons. I realized I’m going to have to get him some warmer weather items and Jack is growing…
Wow, wow, wow! I am exhausted and happy and exhausted and did I mention happy? We’re on Nantucket for a couple of weeks as a family vacation. This is always my favorite place to be and this year is no exception. Traveling with a toddler is a lot, but I’m so excited to get into…
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»

A transitional outfit from @jcrew to bridge the gap between summer and fall with all of my favorite feminine touches. You can shop my whole look, including this must-have-for-fall quilted lady jacket, in my @shop.ltk shop! #injcrew #ad
send this to your best friend 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
