What a fun couple of weeks! Some cute things to share… here is what we’ve been up to according to my camera roll. My sister was in NYC for a bachelorette trip and so Jack and I drove into the city to hang with her before her flight home. It was a windy and drizzly…
A hodgepodge of outfits this week! One of the fun parts about coming to Nantucket is that you can have every season in one day… I have been finding myself wearing at least a couple of looks throughout the day to accommodate activity and weather. We are also having a pretty relaxing time here. With…
It’s been a while since my last Diary post– I was thinking there’d be a ton to catch up on. But a big chunk of that time was spent on Nantucket and I already shared a bunch of pictures from that. Otherwise, life has been fairly quiet as we not-so-patiently wait (and keep preparing) for baby!…
How fitting is it that my 50th blog post is about LILLY PULITZER considering it’s their 50th Anniversary. I’ve been gone for a few days now, locked up in the library. It’s actually a lot of fun, weird I know. I had my accounting exam this afternoon at 4 and was absolutely dreading it,…
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 // Jack and Sports Jack has always shown interest in balls and it has intensified lately. My sister…
I wanted to do a big update of what we’ve done around the house and what still has to be done. In some ways, it feels like we’ve done a lot and then in other ways it feels like we have a long way to go. Most of it is pretty boring and behind the…
An eventful two weeks to say the least! Here’s some of the fun things I’ve been up to according to my camera roll…. We got back from Little V’s wedding late Sunday night and scooped Jack up from my SILs house first thing on Monday morning. I was eager to see him. Literally couldn’t wait to…
I’ve been making so many errors this week. It feels like I have a little personal mercury-in-retrograde cloud hanging over my head. I’m not immune to mistakes (obviously), but I’ve been the opposite of killing it. It’s a combination of a few things… I took a week off for a family vacation and ended up…
Maxie’s been on the receiving end of some of my freak outs and I’ve received a few of those texts from her over the years as well. More often than not, there’s an easy solution or whatever we were freaking out about never even comes to be. I love Maxie’s roundup– try to go through…
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 ✌🏻
