I’m so excited to announce that Minnie and Emma and I have added three new designs to the collection we launched last year together. We’re so thrilled, in fact, that the cases are 25% off when you use “TCP25” at checkout! Striped Dizzy Peony Case + Large Peony with Light Blue Stripes + Peony Bouquet I honestly…
I’m normally pretty good about not making rash decisions. (If anything, I tend to wait way too long to make a decision because I want to make sure it’s perfect.) But at the beginning of the year, I found myself itching to make big changes. I never felt good about the choices; I was just bulldozing…
This is a reflection as part of my Work Life month of 2013! Working at a startup is really crazy, and totally not for everyone. Personally, I kind of thrive off that running-on-a-super-fast-treadmill environment. And one of the things I’ve learned is that it’s important to be knowledgeable about lots of different areas. You definitely…
I’ve been in full holiday mode over here since the start of November. This time of year is always so busy that I find myself leaning into Prime’s convenience, especially as we’ve been prepping for the new baby. Here is a look at some of the things I bought on Amazon in November. Velvet Ribbon //…
I am finally getting the hang of traveling. Or, at the very least, I have a love/hate relationship with it. I do love to travel. *Insert all the sappy travel cliches.* But traveling can stress me out. It doesn’t matter if I’ve been somewhere a million times before or I’m going somewhere new, chances are…
Now that we’re home, and home for a while, I wanted to get on top of my workout routine ASAP. Working out is one of the top things that help my anxiety. While it’s nice to looked tone and it’s great to be healthy and strong, I really work out because it’s so good for…
This week was an extra special week… I got to visit my friend Alison! We met through blogging and bonded over both being Georgetown girls. It’s funny to think that our time at school never overlapped, but we still found each other and a great friendship grew from it! We mostly catch up through text…
Guest Post by Livin and Lovin Now that I’ve graduated from high school, college is just around the corner! I’m so excited for the new experiences, new challenges, meeting new people, and the first time being away from home! It’s a world of opportunity and can’t wait to dig my feet in!As I begin to…
I received a white Macbook as my high school graduation present and I thought it was going to make it through all four years. It was going strong until basically the first week of my senior year. The light on the screen went out and it cost more to fix than the laptop was worth…
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!
(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.
