My schedule is starting to fill back up– not necessarily with in person things, but I definitely feel a greater sense of “new” normalcy settling in. However, I still try to keep my weekends work-free(ish). If I do have to work, I will front load it and get as much done as possible on Saturday…
College Prep Spoiler: A NEW desktop wallpaper is available at the bottom of the post! enjoy 🙂 I have some serious issues when it comes to keeping my laptop desktop a certain way. I have this friend. And every time I see his computer, I try to organize the desktop. He used to get so…
I’ve mentioned this before, but I seem to keep coming back to it because I’m still wondering what I was thinking. I truly thought that I wouldn’t need a desk in my new apartment. I was obviously trying to be conscience about the space available to me, but the kitchen table seriously doesn’t cut it! My new…
Oh my word! I was invited to a sneak peek of the new Kate Spade store on the Upper East Side. I’ve been to every Kate Spade store in NYC (ugh, so guilty here), but this one knocks the socks off of all the other ones. Every single detail was thought through. If you’re planning…
On our last night in Paris, I was sitting in bed window shopping on the internet looking at various Paris mementos. I showed Carter something and she, hilariously, said, “Goes to Paris once, buys all the Eiffel Tower things.” Guilty. Although I don’t think I’m *actually* going to turn into a walking meme over here. (Or will I?!)
I do think I’m going to eventually get this Instagram framed with Framebridge to add to my travel gallery wall. But it hasn’t stopped me from taking a peek at all the cute Paris things!
This is the first On My Radar post on a Friday in a while so… Happy Friday! I flew down to Tampa yesterday with my boyfriend. This is his first time seeing where I grew up so I can’t wait to give him the full tour. (Hope he’s ready for it 😂) When I moved to…
Another week in the books. I’ve lost all sense of time, even during the day. Some days feel like three or four in one and others seem to go by in a blink. One thing that I’ve been enjoying though? Having extra long, no rushed mornings. I usually love to be productive in the morning, but…
This isn’t a full reveal of our master bedroom. Entirely because it’s far from complete. I’ve been working on filling the major “holes” furniture wise first and will have the details later. Not only is it easier on my bank account to do it this way, but we also get to live in the space…
A day late for this one! Lots of fun things happening over the past two weeks. I was so, so excited to decorate our stoop for fall. I probably did it a little too early, but I was eager. Two straight days of 90 degrees took a toll on my orange guys so….. whoops. I’ve been…
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!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.

We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
