Every time I get to that point where I think I’ve had enough of the city… I have these miraculously beautiful days. The weather is perfect. Work goes smoothly. A couple of a-ha moments occur. The to-do list isn’t crushing my soul. Every drop of coffee is perfect. The subway is efficient. And my hair isn’t giving me too much trouble. (A good hair day almost always equals a good day.)
Today was simply one of those days. From the minute I woke up (literally, I jumped out of bed), I knew it was going to be good. Don’t you just love that feeling? It’s sweeter than adrenaline, but pumps through your veins and forces your lips to curl upwards into a smile all day long.
PS This is basically my go-to look. I love the denim on (white) denim and I think that I stand (literally and figuratively) so much taller in some heels!
So glad to hear you are having a great day! Did you happens to see those adorable anchor cotton PJ set that showed up on J Crew Factory today? They reminded me something you would post on Instagram.
I've had the same feeling today! I woke up and I knew that everything was going to be great, especially since I've done an exam today and I did great!! 😀 Love waking up in a good mood and feeling confident! 🙂
This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨
Audiobooks have been my secret weapon for fitting reading into a busy life. Whether I’m folding laundry, driving to preschool drop-off, or squeezing in a solo walk, I can dive into a story at the touch of a button—and @Audible makes it so easy.

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
I love your outfit, easy, simple and chic. How can you not have a good day when you look that cute?

I love the combo of white jeans and a denim top! I never would have thought of that! Your hair also looks gorgeous!

What a great look! Warby Parker glasses are effortlessly chic 🙂
You look amazing! What WarbParks are you wearing??
Also, have you ever considered bangs? I feel like you have the perfect face for them and would look so adorable in them.
Glad to hear things are going a bit smoother for you now!
