So… I’ve fallen off the cooking in my apartment bandwagon again. But, this guest post from Louisa of Living Lou just might get me to start back up. I personally struggle with creating super flavorful meals at home and I love going out to Mexican restaurants. Reading this had my mouth watering!!! YUM. Mexican Quinoa Stuffed…
Because Maxie McCoy Monday wasn’t enough… today is Maxie McCoy Monday, Money Edition. Because of our work experience, women and money is something we’ve talked a lot about together. She’s just a smidge older than me and I have definitely asked her for advice a few times! (And commiserated over bank draining purchases like my…
Louisa from Living Lou is back today with an amazing snack for your next girls’ night in. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love chips and salsa (and guacamole, of course). In my family, “chips and salsa” is basically a major food group and we crave it like nothing else. Yum! **** Girls’ Night In…
Maxie must know that my looming 25th birthday has been on my mind recently! I’m actually pretty excited about the birthday because I think life gets better and better every year. Part of that is absolutely the result of making– and learning from– mistakes made the year before. As I read through her post, I…
Louisa from Living Lou is here with an amazing recipe. My mouth was watering when she sent over the draft and I absolutely can’t wait to try it out myself. I am really making the commitment to cook more in the kitchen, but I’m not the best chef out there. When in doubt, call in…
I love that Maxie chose to write this post during the summer. I spent the couple of months off of school after my freshman year of college writing the chapters to my book. It wasn’t terribly hard, but it did take a lot of commitment to sitting down every day to churn out a few…
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…
Maxie is the queen of texas hair. I was laughing so hard when I opened the google document with the blog post draft. (Well, first I was confused and a bit worried… Teasing can mean many things, you see. Ha.) The funniest thing about Maxie is that she always has her extra-special hair brush at the…
OBSESSED with Maxie’s Tips on how to take a staycation. I’ve been all about enjoying the city and going to new places and new restaurants. Just completely taking advantage of where I live and feeling relaxed and adventurous… without the hassle of travel. (Seriously, why can’t floo powder a la Harry Potter be a real thing?!)…
Go sports! ⚽️✌🏻🥅 🤍 Just me and my boys on a misty Saturday morning getting muddy and having fun

August, you were long, hot, and stormy. And you were also oh so full with Jack’s third birthday, perfectly lazy afternoons at the pond, and all the brotherly love you could hope for as a mama. 🫶🏻☀️🎂🤍💫
About a year late to the Barbie pink 🩷 (this @tuckernuck dress is perfection right?!) #tuckernucking
This poem by @josiebalka came at the perfect time for me. I first heard it at the end of my pregnancy when I was feeling unfit and swollen and exhausted. Then it became my mantra this summer. My jeans are, in fact, a bigger size this year than they were last year. Many days this summer I didn’t want to put on my bathing suit. I didn’t want to go into the water. I didn’t want to wear the shorts or the sleeveless dresses. I have @josiebalka’s poem saved on my phone so I could give it another listen as a little pep talk before getting dressed. 🫶🏻 As summer winds down, I’m so glad I swam in the pool, pond, lake, and ocean with my boys! I’m so glad I wore the bathing suit for slip n slides and shorts to be comfortable in the heat waves and the sleeveless dresses that spoke to me!
