I’ve loved Russel + Hazel for a long time now. One of the Tuckernuck founders actually shared the website with me just about two years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. From time to time I’ve stumbled on their products in person and I’ve always been in awe. I think their products are super…
I’m dreaming (really, only dreaming) of getting a small little handbag. Realistically, I know myself pretty well. I just am not a handbag person. In theory, I love the idea of having a nice little collection of purses and handbags to coordinate with my outfits. In reality, I use my Longchamp totes all the time. It’s…
How cute are these backup iPhone battery chargers??? They’re at J. Crew right now and I think they’re going to be an amazing “stocking stuffer” for this holiday season. If you’re anything like me, a low battery is most definitely cause for panic. Keep one of these stored in your handbag for emergency situations! You’ll be…
Oh, these past two months have been a whirlwind of crazy. It’s hard to believe that we launched the sixth issue of Sweet Lemon Magazine two months ago. Where does the time go? This issue is jam-packed with amazing-ness. Honestly…. over 100 pages of articles, shoppables, interviews, and advice. Some familiar faces, and lots more new…
I’m (somewhat sadly) returning to Manhattan tonight. Spending a week at “home” was seriously just what I needed. I’ve (happily) neglected my inbox, watched more than a few hours of television, and spent lots of time with my family! Per Heitlinger tradition, we spent the morning doing our hair and makeup for an afternoon photoshoot for…
Not into traditional gift giving? Or, do you need to get a gift for someone who “has everything”? Or do you need to get something for a recipient who’s hard to please? I typically buy presents for my friends and family members because I know that they’ll like something specific. But, sometimes I really come up short!…
I’m taking a break from the crazy city and hanging out with some friends in Rhode Island. I stayed up extra late every day this work so I could take a break this weekend in terms of “work.” All I can say is…. SO WORTH IT!! Hanukkah begins tonight and I’ve already broken into a few…
Happy Easter to everyone who is celebrating today! I don’t personally celebrate Easter (although the Easter Bunny did send a package filled with candy…). However, the holiday most certainly marks a turning point in colors at the very least for me. Pastels and spring-y colors are now most certainly welcomed (and encouraged) in one’s outfits….

By tracking clothing wear you’ll prevent…
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!
