Scenes from the Bahamas
I hope you guys don’t hate me for doing this today, but I wanted to share some of the scenic photos from our trip to the Bahamas. Despite growing up in Florida, this was my first trip the Bahamas. It’s definitely an easier journey from Florida, but still worth it despite a full day of…
Packing for Nantucket
Oh oh oh!!! I’m beyond excited to be heading off to Nantucket on Sunday with Mackenzie, Emily, and Amy. I’m excited for more reasons than I can count. I’ve never been… I can’t wait for a tiny vacation… It will be so much fun to be with my favorite city girls. I imagine that it…
Hat Envy
It’s snowing (again) in the city so I’m even more looking forward to going to the Dominican in a couple of weeks. YAY. I’ve been looking through photos (on Pinterest, of course) to get in the “warm weather spirit.” Extra inspired by Slim Aarons’ photographs. It started when I was looking for bathing suits (I ended…
Shopbop Sale
The Shopbop Friends and Family sale started today! Get 25% off when you use “inthefam” at checkout. Honestly, Shopbop is really hit or miss for me. A lot of things are really expensive and not really my taste, but there are some gems if you know what to look for! This time around there’s some…
WEEK OF OUTFITS 5.4.21
I have just had the best week down with my family in Florida. It’s been so long since my last trip down and it felt great to see everyone. I also usually come down and feel like we’re a bit go-go-go. And because we’re still playing things safe, it was a much slower pace. I spent…

Packing Tips
Truth be told, I’m a terrible packer. It significantly attributes to my stress leading up to trips. Anyone else like this??? I either way underpack or way overpack. One time in high school, my chorus class went on a trip to San Antonio and I thought I had packed really well. I got there sans makeup, hairbrush,…
The Perfect Button Up
If you take one peek into my closet, one thing becomes abundantly apparent: I love a good button up. Over the years I have honed in a few great ones. (My favorite is one from Joe Fresh, which apparently is no longer in the United States.) I have a bunch of different styles depending on…

J. Crew Funnelneck Pullover
I have to admit that since purchasing this funnelneck sweatshirt, I’ve run into a problem where it’s the only thing I want to wear. Every morning when I open my closet to paw through my clothes for a comfy but cute outfit (if I’m in the mood to do something other than yoga pants, of course)….

We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical.

Move over coastal grandmother, it’s going to be a red hot summer for me ❤️💃🏻🔥 I am love-love-loving red lately and I am incorporating the hue more and more into my everyday outfits. It’s a little bolder than I typically go for and, even though I’m three months postpartum, I’m feelin’ it! 👉🏻 Leave a comment saying “red” and I’ll send you the links to my outfits featured in the Reel!
My little roar-bear and I made it through the fourth trimester together 🧸 These past twelve weeks have flown by. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that we only just met- I feel like I have known Rory my whole life.
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.
