I’ve been wearing them way too much (if there really even is such a thing). And I am continuously drawn to more and more polka dots with every passing minute it seems like.
I seriously need to invest in some polka dots! I love the earbuds…so cute! I have been loving your posts about New York – I visited for the first time ever this summer and I can so see you living there! I made this cushion after my visit…http://heronscrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/new-york-embroidered-cushion.html Have a Great Day! Rebecca Heronscrafts.blogspot.com
The first paragraph of your post illustrates just how self-centered and out of touch you really are. "Woe is me, my birthday parties were sparsely attended because my friends were too busy summering." Has it ever occured to you that very few children are fortunate to have family who are around for their birthdays, let alone afford parties every year? Or that maybe birthdays should be spent celebrating your health and the people in your life instead of lamenting whatever trivial things AREN'T going exactly your way?
My hunch is that your birthdays were sparsely attended because you are too self-centered and materialistic to have any real friends.
I am actually wearing that old navy chambray shirt with poppy orange jeans today for picture day! I love it!!!!! I also love your polka dot pants! Too cute!
SO jealous that you get to go to FNO. Leave it to Kate Spade to host the cutest contest. Loving the polka dots as well, no such thing as wearing them too much.
I’m on a polka dot craze right now. Thankfully, I blew through my monthly budget on cab rides… which means I have no money for clothes! Double thankfully, I went shopping with Stephanie and gave her strict orders to not let me buy anything. Triple thankfully, I actually walked out of the store empty handed.
So during the event I hosted at Madewell I kept gravitating towards the polka dots. And they were honestly everywhere. We swung by another event going on at J. Crew (which apparently wasn’t actually even happening….?) and found a lot more polka dots.
The one thing that I had the hardest time not buying was this pair of pants!!! Hello, they’re so cute! (PS there’s Steph in the background!) Also, I had a dress on so I threw on a t-shirt to try the pants on, so disregard the shirt.
I can’t find the polka dot version of the pants online, but they do have other cute patterns. They’re the Cafe Capri. I think they run a little on the big side, so I suggest trying to go down a size.
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 ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep. Use code MOTHERSDAY15 for 15% off!
We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️

Polka dots are the cutest. I'm currently going through my closet in my head to see how many dotted items I own…may need to invest in some more.
Also, you might just be seeing me at Kate Spade tomorrow. I'm going to take a walk around to visit some of my favorite bloggers.
