Jack turned six months old yesterday (!!!), which means I am six months postpartum. It’s been a wild, amazing, unbelievable journey. Being a mom is, hands down, my favorite job I’ve ever had. I feel a true sense of honor that I get to be Jack’s mom!! While I could gush about how much I…
Just wanted to take the time to check in with you and see how you’re doing. So… hi! How are you? Holding up? I think the reality of everything has settled in for me. I knew, logically, this was going to be months not weeks, but I guess it felt so “new” when it started….
I have been having the hardest time with memory. I don’t know if it’s pandemic brain, mom brain fog, or just getting older… but man, if I don’t write something down and add an alarm to it, there’s a 50% chance I’ll forget. I used to be great about remembering things and I always felt…
When I think of dresses, the absolute number one “must have” in my opinion is a good shirtdress. It’s a wardrobe staple and something that is just nice to have tucked in your closet. I’m all about easy to throw on dresses and the best part of a shirtdress is that it looks like you’re…
At home in Florida, we had no shortage of Mason jars. While I’m attempting to get my apartment in order, I realized that I needed a few Mason jars. The uses for Mason jars are seemingly endless. Whether you have an idea in mind or have no idea, I think it’s a great idea to…
As I’ve been trying to get my apartment in order (totally have a hit a roadblock on that front. womp), I realized just how much time I spend at my desk. Because I’ve been running around town after work for various events and meetings, I don’t really get back to my apartment until later. Pretty…
I have a very “mom” tendency. You know when you’re labeled the “mom” of the group? That’s me. Bandaids, stamps, sewing kit, lip balm, ponytail holders, spare Metrocards, mints, medicine… Pretty much everything I carry with me at all times. Mostly for myself and my sanity, but also to help save others! I’m the girl…
I think it’s no secret that I have a very well-defined style. My wardrobe is pretty much always the same and I can walk into a store and immediately point out every single thing that works for me (aka my “rules”) and everything that does not. I don’t like experimenting very much. I know what…
In addition to this morning’s itinerary from Ireland, I thought I’d include some fun iPhone snaps here. I filled my camera roll up with photos this trip. I tried to go through and organize them on the plane home and it was like reliving each place all over again. Mount Juliet was hosting a wedding when…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvinesā the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. https://liketk.it/4Rcup #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether weāre commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (š¤), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, Iām just so glad youāre here. Iāve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. Weāve gone through so many life stages together. š«¶š»

send this to your best friend š«¶š»
@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! Thereās something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. š«¶š» We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and itās just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years agoā¦ that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chiliās... Even as an extreme introvert, Iām kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. šāļøš¤āØ (Comment āfall outfitā and Iāll send you a link to everything Iām wearing!)
Go sports! ā½ļøāš»š„ š¤ Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
