I can’t be the only one who spent most of last year barefoot or in slippers, haha! Now that we’re getting back to going out and about, I feel like it’s time to give our shoes a bit of an update. I did a little browsing and pulled together some cute shoes for summer under…
I haven’t really worn shoes all that much since March. Sneakers to work out in and walk the dogs, my UGGs back when it was still freezing/snowing in March, and then now my Jack Rogers. It’s been a lovely break for my feet. (In fact, my right foot had been so swollen for three years…
Shoes are usually one of the first things I switch out in my closet when the seasons change. I got an unintentional head start this year when none of my shoes fit after giving birth to Rory in February, so I took it as an opportunity for a little refresh! Blue Denim Mules (Under $50)…
After meeting with Kathryn a few weeks ago and hearing some sort-of-friendly comments from a guy about how he’s never seen me wear heels, I’ve decided to up (literally) my shoe choices. I’ve been somewhat successful with incorporating some more height in my shoe wardrobe. Now, the problem is that I’ve redetermined the real reason why…
This week, I met up with my friend the Jack Rogers Girl. Gearing up for this giveaway, we decided to pretend that it was spring and pull out the Navajos! It was quite cold, but we absolutely didn’t let that change our plans. I ditched the hose, the ballet flats, and the scarf & coat….
This has been one of the best weeks of the year, definitely of the summer. We came up to Henderson Harbor to celebrate the Fourth. We’ve had perfect weather for boating and reading down on the dock. I mean is there anything more “summer” than water skiing, grilling hot dogs, and playing board games on…
There is a major trend right now for raffia shoes. I spotted a few online this week and kind of fell in love. I’m a huge fan of white and nude shoes throughout the summer, and these raffia styles are even more summery and lovely. I will say though, woven raffia is definitely on the…
Oh! I can hardly contain my excitement over this move. I swear I keep repeating “I live here!!!!” over and over and over again in my head. But seriously, it feels like a dream. I’ve really wanted to live in NYC for a while now, but it’s insane that it’s actually happening. The actual move was…
I love surrounding myself with inspiration: Beautiful quotations. Paintings that evoke emotion. Snippets printed from an email. A tiny picture of something I love. Generally, this consists of a post-it note I tuck in my pocket so I find it every so often. (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that before on the internet…. so…
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!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻
