I was asked last week to do a post about public speaking. I love public speaking. Even though I have extreme anxiety issues, public speaking is something that comes pretty naturally. Probably because I love to talk. (Whoops!) If public speaking is something that really isn’t your thing, but something you have to do from time…
It’s crazy that I’ve graduated college almost a year ago. So much has changed and time has pretty much flown by. It’s weird to think about how a year ago I was studying for exams and doing last minute group projects. The most remarkable thing is that I graduated at all. I remember being a freshman…
So I never meant for my new job to be some sort of big secret. I didn’t want to mention anything until everything was final. (And, like when I applied for college, it’s much better to not tell people where you’re applying.) The longer I didn’t say where I was working though, the harder it…
Oh boy. I paused my Netflix account before finals started last semester because I didn’t want to pay for it over the summer when I have cable at home. Well, the suspension only lasts three months… and I had to unpause it. So, so bad. When I went to update my account, I immediately saw…
Thank you so much for all of your suggestions on workouts and classes! I’m really excited to try some of them out over the next few weeks. Also, tons of thanks for all the encouraging tweets and comments about SoulCycle. I am obsessed. I’ve read all the articles and (guilty) scoffed at all the die-hard fans…
This past winter, especially around the new year, I was seeing so many videos about the 75 Hard challenge. The 75 Hard is truly a challenge; it includes doing the following for 75 days straight (and restarting the clock if you fail one day!): ā Drinking a gallon of water every day. ā Following a…
My obsession with CrewCuts started with little miss Little V. She’s, well, little. Very, very tiny. She has all these super cute dresses from CrewCuts! I started browsing their site and was so delighted to see that they’ve started carrying a size 14!!! I immediately ordered two adorable skirts. Including this Cupcake skirt: I’ve been…
When this little black dress showed up at my house, I immediately put it on and felt amazing in it. It fits like a dream and has been a great thing to have just “on standby” for various events. As my calendar starts to fill up again now that we’re in a good groove with…
I am not a dog person. I used to be afraid of them. Hard core. Frankly, the whole “domesticated animal” thing freaks me out. I LOVE my cats, but if I think too much about how their dirty and gross paws walk over the floors we step on, it grosses me out and don’t even…
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»

A transitional outfit from @jcrew to bridge the gap between summer and fall with all of my favorite feminine touches. You can shop my whole look, including this must-have-for-fall quilted lady jacket, in my @shop.ltk shop! #injcrew #ad
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
