This is really one of the last remaining outfits I could possibly pull together! This Mirth sweater dress has seen me through my second and third trimesters and it’s an MVP at this point. After a week of frigid, snowy, and icy weather we got a muggy week of rain. I was happy to see…
I’ve been loving Sezane’s selection lately and think it’s going to be one of the first retailers I place a shopping order with when I’m feeling a little more myself. Slash I might buy a thing or two just to look forward to?! Loose sweaters/tops seem to be a safe bet. I want to get this…
I was all over the place this week. Highs included going into the city for lunch with Sam! It felt so good to feel like myself with a cute outfit, real makeup, and I even took the time to really blow out my hair. I was also able to FINALLY get in what feels like…
Keeping it real! I just feel like more than anything, I’m wearing what works as a mom and in my third trimester! Comfortable jeans and leggings for the win. I’ve been coming across so many good staple pieces on Amazon lately that I had to round up a winter Amazon style edit! Most of the…
Frankly, if I make it out of my leggings over the next month (or, if I’m lucky, some Valentine’s Day pajamas), it’ll be a miracle. But in case you’re not super pregnant like me, I wanted to throw together some Valentine’s Day outfits!! And yes, hearts were mandatory. Valentine’s Day Outfits for 2024 DRESS //…
There’s a small chance I’m only obsessed with trousers right now because I can’t wear them at the moment…. but, um, I’m so looking forward to wearing real pants soon. I’m such a creature of comfort, especially when it comes to fashion, and I just love a good pair of jeans. Jeans and a sweater, and…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! ONE // Postpartum Goals Before I had Jack, I sat down and came up with a couple of…
I’m coming you today with some questions! I also think it’ll mean the comment section is fun and (hopefully) filled with good recommendations that we can all learn from! OVER EAR HEADPHONES I’m on the hunt for a pair of over the ear headphones. I originally thought I wanted the AirPods Max, but heard mixed…
Here’s what we’ve been up to according to my camera roll over the past two weeks…. Jack got a Duplo set from my parents for Christmas this year and it’s been really fun to get into LEGO with him. I wouldn’t say it’s something we’re capable of playing with for hours, but as far as…
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 ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.

We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
