My friend Jaime from The Prepary is back with more tips for the workplace. This time, she’s sharing super timely tips: ways to be the best summer intern. (And these tips can apply to more than internships– especially that first year at your job!) Having worked with interns at my old job, these tips are…

I feel like I always fail to make great salads at home. Why do they always taste so much better if someone else makes them 😉 Will definitely want to give these salads from Louisa a try– especially the watermelon and vermicelli ones!! 5 Salads to Try Before the End of Summer Guest post by Louisa…
I don’t know how the shift happened, but I have been having so much fun experimenting with skincare and beauty products. Actually, now that I’m writing this, it might be a hand-in-hand thing. Because I’ve been taking such great care of my skin, I feel more confident to try new things. And you know what?…
Recently I have found SO many great affordable options while shopping! I feel like retailers are stepping up their game this year when it comes to the detail and quality of their pieces. I’ve been impressed by all of the new arrivals, and there seems to be no shortage of cute and affordable dresses this…
OMG, I needed this post a week ago. I grilled for the first time while on Nantucket last week. I felt pretty clueless, so I kept things simple with steak and vegetable kabobs. My building has grills in the courtyard, but I’ve always been too intimidated to try it on my own. I’m feeling inspired…
I have been on a summer shoe kick lately and have added a few new pairs to my closet. With summer in full swing I wanted to pull together some of my favorites and share the best summer shoes to refresh your closet. Jack Rogers // Block Heel // Cognac Leather Slides // White Bamboo Heel…
I read some amazing books this summer. I love to read year round, but there is something extra great about sitting down with a book during a slow summer day. (Probably only second best to a snow day spent reading.) In today’s post, I’m going to share books I read, what I’m currently reading, and a…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! ONE // A Movie Era Years ago, I was obsessed with going to the movies. I had that MoviePass…
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.
