Because Jack was born in the middle of August, I was able to spend a lot of my pregnancy in flowy dresses. Easy peasy. This time around? Not so much– I’ll be lucky if my coats fit me! I’m anticipating a lot of “open” styling if anything. Though it’s certainly tempting to scoop up something…
We had a good week here. Playdates, mini roadtrips, holiday festivities. Sometimes I crave a slower life, but I’m really grateful for all the fun we’re having. Most importantly Jack is genuinely having fun and really that’s all I care about right now. Doen top + pants (c/o) Here’s what has been on my radar:…
One way to guarantee it won’t rain? Be prepared for rain. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been caught in unexpected rain showers wearing white pants and suede shoes plus freshly washed and blown hair. On the flip side, when I am prepared it tends to ward off the rain. I’ve been known to carry…
I had the best time in Georgetown this week with the Tuckernuck team. It was a quick, 24-hour trip but it felt like I was there for a week. I arrived Thursday afternoon and co-hosted an event with Sarah at the new Tuckernuck store. If you’re in the DC area, make sure you get to the store (1053 Wisconsin Ave) soon… I’m obsessed. Even if you’re not in the shopping mood (who are you?!) go to meet the Tuckernuck team. I love every single one of them!!! The team has grown so much since I’ve known them, so it was nice to get to meet a lot of the new members. We went out to dinner after the event and ate all the food while catching up and laughing. I didn’t even realize that it was midnight by the time we left!!
Tuckernuck also has a sale going on right now that I had to mention… 20% off your entire order when you spend $200 or more with code “FRIENDS20” at checkout!!
I just had to look at my calendar to see what on earth I’ve done all week. It’s been such a blur. On Monday I felt like I was in a fog all day, although I tried to keep doing my regular “life” stuff. I feel like I say this every week, but my workouts…
I am having a “yes” problem right now. I go through serious phases with saying yes or no. I either stand my ground and say no to everything or I can’t help myself and say yes to everything. I wish I could figure out some kind of balance… I thought once I hit August that my travel…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to cardholders last week. Although I won’t be able to shop until July 28th, when it opens up to the public, I thought I’d go ahead and share some of the pieces I like included in the sale this year. Over the years, I have purchased some of my favorite…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale went live at 3 am last night. I slept right through that but hopped online this morning to round up some not-to-miss sale items. I always like to ask myself if it’s something I’d buy full price. If the answer is yes, I go for it. Otherwise, it’s worth waiting just to make sure you don’t buy something you don’t want or need.
Who else is ready for a very merry @marthastewart48 Christmas 🎄✨ the best inspiration for baking, crafting, & decorating! Buying this lot of vintage #marthastewart living magazines has been such a source of joy. I have loved flipping through and scheming for all the projects I want to do… now if I could only find the spare time!
Item number one on my mile long to do list: decorate the boys’ bedroom for Christmas! ⛄️ ❤️🎄🎅🏻❄️ I try not to go overboard with things, but I simply couldn’t resist Santa sheets and a paper chain (oh and a mini Christmas tree…). I may have risked my life getting the paper chain hung and it adds so much charm I think I’ll keep it up year round… or until the tape gives out at least!
MHot chocolate magic on the eve of December 1! 🍫☕️✨Filmed this thinking I was going to mute the audio for stories but then when I edited it I realized how much I love the background sounds! Rory banging for more Cheerios in the background, Jack wanting marshmallows, a Christmas playlist in the background!

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
