What a perfect way to kick off the week. Today, Maxie is sharing her advice for making the most of your self care routine. 4 Things You Must Know About Self Care Guest post by Maxie McCoy The way we take care of ourselves matters. I think we’d all agree with that. And there’s sure…
Time for another round up of iPhone snaps. I have been on a sewing spree. I can’t stop! I actually am finding it to be such a great thing to do at the end of a long day. I’ve been popping headphones in and listening to podcasts or music while I sew away. It’s very meditative…
I’ve been under the weather for the past few days. At first, I thought it was just a dry throat from the cold weather and then it just progressed and progressed until I couldn’t deny it anymore. Every February my high school chorus had a variety show that we put on (huge deal for us)…
This is my last post until after Christmas! I’m going to take some time off from daily posting. I may be on Instagram here and there but for the most part I think I’ll be stepping away for at least a week. Usually I come back on December 31st to share my favorites of the…
I plan on doing a few updates throughout the month based on my 2013 agenda. Not too often so I don’t bore you 😉 Half of me wonders if anyone cares what I write about these updates. (I personally find the fun posts a lot more… fun!) The other half of me wonders what I’ll…
2023 was one of the hardest years for me. It was challenging in so many ways and I think it took a major toll on my spirit. It was still filled with a lot of wonderful and great things, which is what I’m trying to focus on here! It’s one of the hardest parts of…
Garrett and I couldn’t go on a trip we had originally planned for last weekend. We weren’t sure if we’d be able to get away or not for scheduling reasons, but we found out that we had the weekend free after all. Even though we couldn’t make flights happen for our original trip, we decided…
I am so in love with this post for a few reasons. One, it was requested by a reader. I can’t even begin to tell you how much your emails and snaps and tweets and comments make my day. They really do! Two, Maxie dug up an old post that brought back so many memories. I…
Today’s a special edition of 1 Girl, 5 Outfits. I’m taking a small spring break to go out west to ski, but after Katie sent me these photos I think I chose the wrong climate!! Hi! My names Katie and I live in a small beach town on the East Coast of Florida. It’s about 30…
Mom and dad proof of life ✌🏻 Also, what a difference it makes having a baby that takes a bottle 🙏🏻 It felt WILD to me going out! Still figuring out pumping on the go, and still went back home to nurse overnight… but wow!

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!
