It’s the second day of April, and the second rainy day in a row. My lifesaver for days like these: Vineyard Vines Nor’Easter Jacket. I find myself wearing this nearly everyday. It’s light enough for warm days, but can be layered with fleeces for colder days. The hood makes you look kinda like a duck,…
If you haven’t already noticed, I’m a little bit obsessed with the weather. I seriously check weather.com every five minutes. Especially with crew, I feel like I need to know the EXACT temperature and wind speed. I have the Blackberry application for my cellphone so that with just one little click, my screen is my…
If you asked my dad 5 years ago which of his two daughters would he think would be participating in a sport on the collegiate level, he would have HANDS DOWN said my sister. I have played nearly EVERY sport ever invented for at least one practice: Gymnastics, dance, horseback riding, synchronized swimming, swimming, soccer,…
It’s raining again here in DC. Yuck. I had a mini debate this morning about whether to wear Wellies vs. Bean Boots. I chose my J. Crew Wellies, because I plan on wearing my Bean Boots to crew practice. I hate having to walk to class balancing my laptop, cellphone, tote bag, umbrella, etc. Speaking…
The other day, my Grandma emailed me a picture of herself from when she was younger. First, let me tell you that she is extremely technologically advanced for any generation. I get text messages… Yes, TEXTS… from her throughout the day. Clearly, my love for ribbons and bows is genetic! -College Prepster
I love Soccer Mom. She knows me way too well! She bought me the absolute cutest Lilly dresses and shipped them up to me! They’re a smidge too big, but nothing a couple of darts can’t fix. She also bought a vineyard vines halter top in the cutest pattern and bermuda shorts. Unfortunately, they’re both…
I’m not used to the weather still being cold. I mean, hello: It’s almost April! Friday was even the first official day of Spring, but it was still so cold! I really was in the mood to wear a springy dress, preferably Lilly. Instead, I had to opt for a sweater and jeans. Again. I…
Yesterday was the first glimpse of spring! It was a little windy, but the temperature was definitely in the “warm” category! I was planning on writing my next blog on the cutest croakie that one of my best friends gave me for graduation. Of course, it’s monogrammed. For practice, I normally have my hands…
I was going to post this earlier, but I haven’t had time!!! Tucker Blair is having a St. Patrick’s Day sale! I posted about them earlier and love love love the headbands! Type in stpatty for 25% off! -College Prepster
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
