Here’s what I’ve been up to over the past two weeks, according to my camera roll! I ha to limit the number of playground pictures I included to one… we are there nearly every day!!! Jack has been a playground fan since his early days, but only recently has the whole “world” of the playground…
Guys, I truly don’t know why I can’t get Halloween out of my mind. I have to admit that it used to be my least favorite holiday as a kid. Loved the costumes…. hated trick or treating. In my memory, I had ear infections for the first few Halloweens in my memory… and then we…
We had a pretty good “business as usual” week here. After the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, both for work and personal, I was ready for a fresh start in January. One thing I’m really enjoying so far this month, is leaning into winter vibes. All things cozy and warm and relaxing. I’ve…
I have to confess this isn’t the most inspired week of outfits. You’ll have to forgive me. After a week of gloriously springy weather, the temperatures plummeted again and we had a huge deluge of rain too. It left me feeling uninspired when getting dressed. I just wanted to wear leggings and sweatshirts as we…
I realized I never shared these photos on here and it ended up being the perfect timing to post them, because there’s a relevant story behind them. One of the best parts about being a mom is getting to create all the fun magic for my kids. I love it. But…. I also think it’s gone…
After months of hearty soups and cozy dishes, I’m excited for the fresh produce spring brings. We actually had a mushroom, arugula, and tomato frittata this weekend for an at-home brunch. It was delicious!! Can’t wait to try some of Louisa’s recipes in the coming weeks. 6 Recipes to Welcome Spring Guest post by Louisa…
Wow! This week was crazy amazing for the Levo League team. I’m so thrilled to be a member of the team. Seriously, beaming. Everyone is amazing. Between an impromptu Easter egg hunt (we’ll be finding eggs for years), some harmless April Fools pranks, and a late-night poetry slam… it’s been a lot of fun. But…
This week has been crazy and I’m really looking forward to this weekend. After going back and forth about a million and a half times, I’ve decided to go to Boston again this weekend. It’s the Head of the Charles regatta…. but I’m really going because LITTLE V is stateside!!!! It’s been so so so…
This was a great week in general, terrible week for outfits! First of all, Nantucket got hit pretty hard by a nor’easter in the middle of the week and it brought chilly, rainy, and extremely windy weather with it. Then we spent a couple of day packing, getting home, and unpacking. Super thrilling stuff! I…
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.
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!
