a little bit of life, a little bit of style, and everything in between.

Excuse me while I get a little emo for a minute 😮💨 When I was trying to convince Mike to move to the suburbs, @motherhoodlesstraveled drove me through all the different towns to get a feel for the downtowns and the neighborhoods. I fell in LOVE with Madison. Like it’s right out of central casting. That one day we drove down was a beautiful day- the street was lined with flags, kids were going up and down the sidewalk on scooters and bikes, women walked out of a yoga studio with rolled up mats under the arms. And people were spilling out of the ice shop. I just remember thinking, “okay this is it.” When we bought our house in this dreamy town, I so vividly could picture us walking to the ice cream shop with our kids….. and five years later, here we are. It’s everything I dreamed of, and more.

lucky is an understatement 🍀
(ps thank you @redwagonboston for saving the day with this sweater!!)

Just wait until….
they start slipping on their own shoes and
sing their favorite songs out of the blue and
Run to the window to watch the garbage truck come by and
Figure out how to get the fridge to spit out ice which is soooo funny and
Hug their friends and
Help you sweep the floor and wipe down the tables and
Make a fishy face and rawr like a dinosaur and neighhhh like a horse and choooo choooo as the train goes by.
just wait! 💫

Little moments from our Copenhagen trip. I looooooved it so much 🇩🇰💫 Shared all the details on my blog today if you want to know more about what we did, where we went, and (maybe most importantly) what we ate!

I am the personification of that meme going around about putting off a task for three months and it only taking 15 minutes 🫣 It’s one of my worst habits. This week I’ve been focusing on doing those DUMB tasks that I stress the eff out about and they only end up taking minutes. 🤦🏻♀️ Called my insurance company to fix an issue, took exactly 12 minutes. Uploaded a copy of an ID for a tax document, all I had to do was retrieve said ID from my wallet. Cleared off the mountain of things off my desk in under 10 minutes.
Feeling so much better and those little productive bursts helped me better tackle the actual tasks that needed more of my time 💪🏻
Happy almost Friday!

On this last day of February, we (finally!) had a proper snow day 🛷 Jack stood outside saying, “what’s this?! What’s this?!” and he went down the hill with me, alone, and with friends! I am *exhausted* but it was such a fun day.

Oooh! I love these! Maybe I will get my fiance the green trout ones for Christmas! He would love them! Thanks for introducing me to this great line of clothing!
I adore this look! I have a pair of Fighting Irish little needlepoint leprechaun shorts that I loooove.
