Today is a post that’s highly requested every year– fall family photo ideas. This is definitely a great time to get family portraits taken. I find fall foliage so pretty, there’s usually great lighting to work with in the autumn months, and (the best part) you’ll have updated photos just in time to select your…
Happy Friday! We had a nice, normal week at home and we have a nice, normal weekend coming up! I am reminded by just how much I thrive with a routine and I’m happy we’re here. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // A Short Story by Elin Hilderbrand What a…
Barn jackets are making a big statement this fall, and I’m so here for it! I’ve always loved the cozy, classic charm of barn jackets, especially the Barbour ones I’ve had over the years. The traditional boxy silhouette and corduroy collar give these jackets a practical yet stylish look that’s hard to beat. This jacket has…
I love cardigans. They’re so versatile, and nowadays I usually wear them buttoned all the way up or draped over my shoulders. I definitely have my favorites, like this one and this one, that I pull out once the weather cools down. For this roundup of the best cardigans for fall, though, I wanted to…
I had a fun week of getting dressed. I’m really trying because it definitely because I absolutely feel better when I dress better. It helps that it isn’t 1,000 degrees and to have some places to go and people to see without a baby in tow. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I finished Rory’s stocking!!! This is a huge,…
Whoops! SO delayed in posting this. I held off on posting what I read in July because it was such a bad reading month. (Usually vacation is a great time to read… with an infant and toddler? Not so much!) Here’s what I read in July & August: JUST LAST NIGHT by Mhairi McFarlane 3.5/5 Stars I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to the past couple of weeks, according to my camera roll! These huggies are turning into my favorite pair of “fun” earrings. I’m usually just so boring with my earrings on an everyday basis. These feel wearable and not too over the top but a little more visually interesting! (Here…
This was a big week for us! I celebrated my 35th birthday, we closed out summer, Jack started preschool, Rory had his first day of daycare, and Mike and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. It felt so good to get back into a routine, honestly. Especially with work picking up ahead of the fourth quarter,…
One of my goals as a mom is to make sure we’re not only making memories as a family, but that we’re also staying on top of capturing the memories, too. I love taking photos of my family, both big special moments (like vacations) and also the everyday moments (like the boys playing together in the nursery)….
MHot chocolate magic on the eve of December 1! 🍫☕️✨Filmed this thinking I was going to mute the audio for stories but then when I edited it I realized how much I love the background sounds! Rory banging for more Cheerios in the background, Jack wanting marshmallows, a Christmas playlist in the background!

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳

Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
