I remember googling preppiest colleges when I was looking for colleges and nothing really ever popped up. I probably would not have gone to any of these schools, but its so interesting. Thanks for posting this and congrats on Georgetown making the list!
I think UVA was a miss on that list! I do run in Gtown a lot and find it fun to look at all the students outfits…gives me ideas and keeps me entertained during my long runs. I have to definitely agree with HSC…those boys are out of control preppy!
I think Wake Forest should be on that list. "How 'bout them deacs?" I love your blog even though I am black (my race) and I really don't fit into the prepsters at my school.
I am very disappointed with this list because several SEC schools Ole Miss, UGA, and Tennessee are incredibly preppy. All you would have to do is come to any SEC school on gameday you would see how preppy they are. Yes Vandy is SEC but I wished they would have considered other non-private schools.
I have been calling myself a Chill Mom™️ since having Jack and now I’m realizing that I’m even chiller with Rory. (Like is birth order really less about sibling order and more about the version of mom you’re born to?) I’ve been just rolling with Rory’s infancy and I’m so much happier. Maybe it’s just that I’m more tired with a toddler too, or know that it’s going to go by so fast, or just have more confidence… probably a combination. I feel less obsessive and less stressed out by the details. I’m “making it” without having to fake it. As an example, today I noticed I hadn’t tracked a single nap- just watching sleepy cues and trying to get to a “good enough” pattern as Rory’s naps consolidate. Is he following a ~perfect~ nap schedule? No. Are we thriving? Frankly, yes!
(If you want to read my original Chill Mom post, comment “chill mom” and l’ll send it to you via DM!)
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!

UNC-CH over Duke any day…as most preppiest! Bet you can't guess which school I went to. 🙂
I think UVA was a miss on that list! I do run in Gtown a lot and find it fun to look at all the students outfits…gives me ideas and keeps me entertained during my long runs. I have to definitely agree with HSC…those boys are out of control preppy!
I agree with Lulu…definitely add UVA!
I think Wake Forest should be on that list. "How 'bout them deacs?" I love your blog even though I am black (my race) and I really don't fit into the prepsters at my school.
love georgetown 🙂 I went there last weekend specifically for g-town cupcakes!
I would have to add Gettysburg College
Birmingham Southern in AL is on a preppy list somewhere too —
fun post!!!
H-SC woo hoo! But congrats on Georgetown!
UNC all the way!!!
Yay SMU … very preppy. Fun list!
UNC should definitely be on that list… and not just because I go there. You haven't seen preppy til you've been to Chapel Hill. Hello, critter shorts!
Go H-SC and Georgetown!
I'd have to agree that UVA and UNC belong on that list- maybe they didn't include state schools on purpose. but yay trincoll!

washington and lee anyone?!
definitely washington and lee. beats all of these in my opinion.
have to add St. Lawrence, even the outing club is preppy
Hampden-Sydney College is no doubt FIRST on the list!
Bucknell University!
