Happiest Friday! I’m pre-writing this post as we’re traveling this week to Nantucket. It’s a whole lot of logistics traveling with two kids and a dog for a couple of weeks, but it’s going to be well worth the effort. Planning on putting the blog on vacation mode next week for the Fourth of July,…
We leave for Nantucket next week on our annual family vacation, and I am so excited to be spending the 4th of July on island again!Ā This is always my favorite place to be and this year is no exception. I’m slowly starting to pack for our trip and have been thinking about what to wear,…
One of the best places we visited while in Ireland was Ashford Castle. (I’m realizing as I’m writing every one of these posts I keep saying that… I really loved all the places and couldn’t possibly start to pick favorites!) I think we got especially lucky with the weather for a day of exploring the…
So this is honestly one of the funniest things on the internet right now. Have you seen Tiffany Beveridge’s Pinterest board called “My Imaginary Well-dressed Toddler Daughter“? I immediately followed the board and have been laughing along ever since. (It’s also really fun to read the captions out loud with friends. Seriously. Try it.) Well… this…
At the end of 2022, I was inspired to try the 1,000 Hour Challenge with Jack for the 2023 year. I’m actually going to copy and paste the opening paragraph to the first blog post I wrote about this in April 2023: Some background first: I saw this 1,000 Hours Outside challenge all over TikTok…
If you are in the northeast (or really everywhere maybe?) you’re probably frozen. My apartment is absolutely freezing and outdoors is quite miserable. I’m not a big fan. Temperatures in the single digits just should not exist. (It’s even worse in other cities… I feel for you.) I was in shock the other morning when…
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’mĀ 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…
Sharing some inexpensive Christmas presents under $20 for this year that are perfect little gifts for friends and coworkers or could also go in stockings. I love gifting practical items they’ll use and enjoy in the long-term, like a favorite face wash, a new Yeti tumbler, and cozy socks. But of course, you can’t go…
Happy FRIDAY! Wow, I felt like we really earned this weekend after this week. I’m kind of crawling to the finish line here. Looking forward to a low-key weekend down the shore and, with any luck, we’ll be back in town for a fun day at our pond club on Monday which opens up for…
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
