I’m not really sure how I feel about horoscopes, but I read them. All the time. If I come across a link online, I click on it. If I’m reading a magazine, I read it. I search for consistencies with my life, but almost always fail to see any real connection to my reality. Except…
Potluck dinners always cause me stress because I never know what to bring! Louisa is here today with great suggestions. Definitely worth pinning for future reference!!! How to Be a Great Potluck Attendee Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou I’ve attended and hosted my fair share of potlucks; there’s nothing better than getting together…
We’re back today with another “1 Girl, 5 Outfits” post and I think it’s a post that a lot of readers will be able to relate to! I’m loving the outfits, Anne looks great in everything from her business suit to her casual outfit (I want her sneakers!). // Hello! My name is Anne (pronounced…
Okay, this may be one of my favorite holiday looks to date. Have you guys noticed that I haven’t worn a single holiday dress yet on here? It’s because I haven’t purchased one! I’ve been way more into the cute tops and pants or blouses and skirts.
This top is pretty much everything with the Stewart plaid and bow on the back.
The holiday weekend was perfect! I went down to Avalon, NJ for the first time and totally loved it. We had more good beach weather than I was expecting to have so that was a nice bonus. I pretty much had a coverup on + a towel draped over my legs the entire time (hi, I’m…
I love hats. Like, love them. A) They keep the sun off my face and I’m really trying to protect my skin from sun damage. B) It’s a great way to cover up slightly dirty hair or tame wild salty and windblown hair. C) I have a big forehead and never mind covering up a…
It’s so hot and muggy outside that all I’ve been wanting to wear lately are breezy midi dresses! I’m always looking for the best midi dresses I can throw on without thinking, especially when it’s incredibly hot outside. I’ve been browsing online and came across a few styles that were too good not to share. White…
Throwing it back to my June trip to Nantucket with Ashley! We had that perfect Nantucket weather where it was chilly and warm on and off again. I spent most of the day with a sweater on, but had some moments where I was too warm with it on. I liked how it looked over…

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.
