Last summer, I was hooked on Desperate Housewives. I watched every episode over the course of my vacation… This year, I am OBSESSED with The Partridge Family. I’ve been watching full episodes on Hulu.com. They are hilarious! Oh goodness, I might have to check into rehab… David Cassidy= LOVE. I really was born in…
Little V’s mom has a new website for her paintings. I am in LOVE with them! Definitely check out her website and browse through the paintings.

After seeing some of my earlier posts about my cookie creations, some of my friends wanted me to make cookies for them! Obviously, being so obsessed lately, I happily agreed to. I made these fun pink & green cookies for my friend’s surprise party! The pink bucket is from Michael’s… and I took seersucker fabric…
Oh my lord, I have had quite the week. I am absolutely exhausted. “Camp Carly” started on Monday. I had agreed to babysit a family friend’s 10 year old boy while she drove her oldest son back to college in Massachusetts. I drove to his house before his dad and other brother left for work….
Soccer Mom and I love to shop and decided to check out some stores we hadn’t visited. A few days ago, we went to Home Goods. There was a Home Goods near where we lived in Massachusetts, but I hadn’t been to the one here. It’s about 25 minutes away. I considered it more of…
I don’t have much to post about… I’ve just been hanging out without any cares in the world. To beat the heat, SM & I went to the movies on Saturday. We saw “My Life in Ruins.” Not an award winning movie, but a great summer chick flick nonetheless! We cracked up the whole time!…

I don’t know how many of y’all get Daily Candy emails, but they highlight some really great finds! This morning I had an email for DK Kids. It featured a brand called Dear Johnnies. I clicked the link and was so surprised! CUTE HOSPITAL GOWNS (and they can be monogrammed)! Rachel Zinny started making the…

Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
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.
