I believe I may have encountered a true Divine Intervention today. And I need your help!!! Background: I’m a coxswain for the men’s heavyweight rowing team here at Georgetown. We have morning practices and it’s been pretty cold every morning. I rowed in Florida all through high school and never had to deal with cold…
This is a new series! Natastrophe (fellow coxswain from the Day in the Life post videos) gave me this fantastic– and super challenging– idea. Take a CRAZY outfit and figure out how to make the look preppy! The inspiration: Here’s the final result: Flouncy skirt, hoodie layered with puffer vest, knee socks, and glitter flats……
Normally, I don’t follow through with these award things. I love receiving them, but I completely forget when I go to write blog posts. Anyways, Olive My Life tagged me for an award. And it had a fun little rule thingamajig so I thought I’d play along. And CP confession…. I really am obsessed with…
In a bout of writer’s block, I turned to my fabulous twitter followers for some ideas. This idea is from @AlexOHall, a fellow coxswain! Here are some athletic outfits for any prepster 🙂 Thanks again to Alex. xoxo
It’s no secret that I love my Longchamp! I bought it on a trip to visit my best friend Colie Bolie in Boston and I have never looked back. I’ve done this post I think before with my purse (definitely with my coxswain bag), but I thought I would do this one COMPLETELY uncensored. Like,…
This is another one of the questions I get frequently as a blogger. (Here’s my post on how I edit photos and how I make collages for my blog.) As a disclaimer for this post, there are a million different ways to keep yourself safe with social media and everyone is different and has unique circumstances….
I am back in DC right now reflecting on the amazing trip I just went on. I feel so fortunate to have been given the opportunity to cox for the four guys in my boat. Seriously, I know that sounds so cheesy, but I really do feel lucky! I have learned so much about myself,…
I have lots of work today, so I’m just going to post a few pictures! I hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween! Little Miss (Eloise), Ali (Rockstar), and Me! Coxswain love! Is she not the most perfect Eloise??? Fordham Prepster meets College Prepster And, of course, California Funk -College Prepster
Midterms are OVER. (Well, round one at least.) It’s been quite the week. Little V said to me one morning, “You know how I know that you’re really stressed and busy? College Prep has one word posts.” Yep. Pretty much nailed that one on the head, Little V! I thought it’d be really funny to…
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!
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 ✌🏻
