So… I don’t really like watching football, but I’m here for the commercials and the food during the Super Bowl. There’s something so fun about sharing tons of wings and endless nachos with friends. Louisa is here today with DELICIOUS recipes to consider for football Sundays. The Best Sunday Football Eats Guest post by Louisa…

I love Thanksgiving dinner. Sure, the turkey is great, but I’m there for the sides. We usually do the same ones every year and then have the best leftovers for the next few days. I think everyone in my family has a different favorite dish that we go back for seconds, or thirds… but we do…
I think one of the best things I’ve learned how to do in the kitchen is how to make homemade pasta sauce. On cozy, and maybe lazy nights, I love to whip up a simple, fresh pasta dish. I typically go for simple tomatoes and garlic for mine, but Louisa’s recipe suggestions have me ready to…
Personally, I’ve been wearing boots, like, every single boot I own pretty much every single day. Bean boots when it’s snowing. Rain boots when it’s raining. Ankle boots when I’m feeling a little bit braver than normal. Riding boots when I’m, well, lazy. And I’ve been wearing socks all the time. (I seriously wear two pairs…
So I wanted to an update of my fall classics post, but… not much has changed! I still stand, 2000% behind that post. Which actually makes me pretty proud. Three years have gone by and trends have come and gone, but those pieces still remain staples. They’re still what I reach for consistently throughout these fall months. I’m going to do a little update with a few tweaks.
One last holiday gift guide for 2015. Of all the things, stocking stuffers are some of my favorites to give. I put together what I consider a pretty epic list of 25 items that would fit perfectly inside of a stocking. Also works for regular gifts too 😉 Hunter Boot Liners // LL Bean Boots…
I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited for a trip as I have for our (Julia, Thomas, Garrett) Alaskan adventure. I’ve never been on a trip like this and I’ve definitely never done anything too outdoorsy so it should be different. I don’t even know what to expect, but from what I’ve heard from…
Louisa is sharing what might be my favorite recipe to date. Delicious bruschetta reminds me of my childhood summers spent swimming in the pool. My mom would always whip this up as our mid-afternoon snack. There’s just something so satisfying about fresh tomatoes in the heat of summer Easy Homemade Bruschetta Guest Post by Louisa…
Nothing says summer to me like finally being able to have dinner outside with our friends. We are gearing up for al fresco dining with @mackenziechilds pieces in their iconic Royal Check– the blue and white pattern couldn’t be more “me” and fits in perfectly with my summertime aesthetic. I especially love that each #mackenziechilds handcrafted piece has a unique signature of its own and no two pieces are identical.

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!

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.
