The theme for the last two weeks? FRIENDS. I am so grateful that I got to squeeze in so much time with friends over the past couple of weeks. I know life is about to drastically change and I have no idea what to expect so trying to squeeze in coffees, dinners, and sleepovers to…
I recently hit a 1,000 day streak on Duolingo (today will be day 1,040!!) and I wanted to share my experience with the app. If you’re unfamiliar with Duolingo, it’s a great app to learn new languages with. It’s very user-friendly and there is a free version as well as a paid version. WHAT LANGUAGE…
You mentioned ‘selling’ Mike on suburbs- I’d LOVE to hear more about this as a couple who isn’t ‘sold’ on moving from the city! Hmmm. So I think if you’re both not on the same page, I would wait to move to the suburbs until you feel the pull. You may never! Mike and I…
This has been one of my favorite posts to write every year. Here are my favorites from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. I do find it interesting that while the past couple of years have been some of the most challenging, they have also been the most rewarding. Truly the highest of highs mixed with some…
I actually didn’t fully understand the importance of nursing bras. I kind of thought you could just wear your normal bra and, if you wanted, you could wear a nursing bra. Well, I’m sure you could make breastfeeding work with a normal bra, but I personally find nursing bras just so convenient. I’ve tried a…
Jack turned six months old yesterday (!!!), which means I am six months postpartum. It’s been a wild, amazing, unbelievable journey. Being a mom is, hands down, my favorite job I’ve ever had. I feel a true sense of honor that I get to be Jack’s mom!! While I could gush about how much I…
OKAY. We have one year under our belts and I am here to do an updated baby registry post. This is one of my most frequently emailed questions and I get it. I was confused AF about what all to register for. Unfortunately…. you can’t know what you don’t know and every baby is different….
I rounded up seven days worth of outfits, just not necessarily from one week though. I’ve been doing a lot of outfit repeating because very few things fit (and I have very little desire to wear anything besides comfortable items). LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had a proper snow day! Everyone had chatter that we were getting…
This is one of my favorite posts of the entire year to write. I start to look forward to it come December… especially this year. It’s been a challenging year. I’ve tried to stay as upbeat and optimistic as possible, but I’d be lying if I said this year didn’t give me a run for my…
Once The College Prepster, always The College Prepster. I will always love a classic outfit from @vineyardvines– the perfect pieces to kick off my fall wardrobe. Find this outfit, including this must-have wool skirt, in my LTK Shop. #ad #edsftg
With Jack in preschool and Rory in daycare part time, I am clicking back into gear with work. A little scared to see how it goes and also excited to dive back in. I really do love my job. And as we move into the fourth quarter, things are already heating up- I feel ready to take it on. Before things get even crazier, I also wanted to extend a HUGE thank you to YOU. Whether we’re commiserating about ruined baby naps, chatting about what to wear to a wedding, laughing about being nude and lewd (🤭), sharing memes about American Girl dolls, or adding another bow product to our shopping carts, I’m just so glad you’re here. I’ve been on the internet for so long and can confidently say I have the best group of women following along. We’ve gone through so many life stages together. 🫶🏻

A transitional outfit from @jcrew to bridge the gap between summer and fall with all of my favorite feminine touches. You can shop my whole look, including this must-have-for-fall quilted lady jacket, in my @shop.ltk shop! #injcrew #ad
send this to your best friend 🫶🏻
@simply_elsa and I met five years ago when I moved to the suburbs. I quite literally slid into her DMs after I saw that she was geotagging a nearby town and seemingly liked cute blue and white things as much as I did- that felt like enough to at least start a friendship with at the time! There’s something extra special about forming friendships in adulthood. It feels like a conscious choice more than just circumstantial. 🫶🏻 We help each other with work, with motherhood. Navigating the tough parts of life in your 30s and venting to each other with zero judgment. Sending videos and memes with no additional commentary necessary (a language of its own). Now our children play together (!!!) and it’s just a whole new world there too. So glad I sent her that DM asking for a coffee date five years ago… that coffee shop we went to might not be around anymore but our friendship sure is thriving!

Now that school is back in session and summer travels have come to a close, I can feel my social calendar filling up a bit more. Pickleball, needlepoint club, ice cream/library playdates, GNOs at Chili’s... Even as an extreme introvert, I’m kind of excited to have places to go and people to see and the outfits to wear again. 🍂☕️🤎✨ (Comment “fall outfit” and I’ll send you a link to everything I’m wearing!)
Go sports! ⚽️✌🏻🥅 🤍 Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun
