I’m the first to admit that my iPhone is rarely out of sight. Even if I’m not using it, it’s right by my side… tucked into my coat pocket, on my desk or nightstand, or right in my hand. I have a love/hate relationship with my phone. I love being able to work whenever and…
February is the roughest month for me. I will certainly have to make a yearly trip to Florida because it does make the month go by faster. My first winter here, I assumed that on March 1 spring would be in full force. HA! No, it does not happen like that. February, although short, seems…
With every season that goes by, I get a little bit better about surviving New York Fashion Week. I set my expectations a bit more realistically and I also find a way to get through the day without too much stress. Things are kicking off this week and I’m excited… and prepared: 1– A cute,…

I didn’t spend a lot of time on my computer this week as I’ve been at my parents’ house celebrating Thanksgiving. It’s been nothing short of wonderful. I’m actually flying back to NYC today and my mom and sister are coming up for a girls’ trip the following weekend… can’t wait! I have to share this…
Maxie is one of my best friends and she has certainly seen and heard about my good (and bad) days and vice versa. We’re both good people, but it can be tempting to be a little bit selfish– especially when we’re having a bad day. (You all know I love my massages!) Her advice is…
Two words to describe this week: roller coaster. Life is a series of ups and downs and it seemed like this week was just all over the place on the emotional front. Sometimes it’s easy to gloss over difficult days and just go straight through posting great and happy content. But it’s the farthest from…
I wanted to share one of my favorite interviews to date! I was put in contact with Meagan from bSmart through a mutual friend and I just love her! We shot these photos and a video; it was really fun and now I’ve recruited Meagan to shoot some things for TCP, like the photos from the…
So, you may or may not know about my obsession with theories. (example) I have a theory for nearly everything. And the theory sticks until proven otherwise…. which many have been disproved. But, they’re fun while they last. One of my theories deals with the idea of looking great, feeling great, doing great. I’m sure…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. 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.
