This year has been a great year for me to learn how to cook. It’s been so nice to have an actual kitchen and now that I use Plated, I’ve been picking up cooking skills I didn’t think I could ever do. The first time I cooked a steak was honestly one of my proudest…
I think Maxie, per usual, read my mind. My major to-do this week is to get everything under control. Reorganize my desk, declutter my office, go through my phone and inbox, review and assess my calendar. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by everything and I think a good, solid spring cleaning is in order. In fact,…
One thing I really miss about living in NYC is the fact that I can’t walk down the street to get any snack I’m craving. Within a block of my apartment, I had four different smoothie places to choose from. And I’d go to different ones for different smoothies. (I really miss this smoothie.) When…
Isn’t it crazy how far we’ve come in terms of technology and communication in such a short amount of time? I think we’re all still trying to catch up as far as best practices, safety, and “rules” are concerned though. There’s a lot of grey area and there’s quite a few ways you can end…
I have very little experience with cooking. This is the first time in my life when I’ve a) had the time to cook and b) the space to cook. I’m feeling more confident in the kitchen by the day and Plated has been a huge help. One of the major things it’s taught me beyond…
I love when I meet someone and she’s so confidently herself. There’s something powerful and almost entrancing about being in the presence of someone like that. I also can’t help but wonder, how does she do it?! Maxie is one of those uber confident people whom I LOVE spending time with. (I always hope some of…
One thing I’ve learned as I’ve grown up is that the best friendships are the ones that feel easy and natural, but they still take a lot of work and effort. Love Maxie’s tips for being a more supportive friend because I think it’s something everyone can be a little bit better at, even if you’re…
I did something the other week that I though I’d never do. I swapped out spaghetti for roasted squash… and liked it. It was such an easy substitution and tasted amazing. It wasn’t pasta, but it wasn’t too far off. It actually made me think that I could do more little changes like this… And…
Valentine’s Day can feel super commercial and cheesy (although I still find that fun). Regardless of the pomp and circumstance, it’s a good reminder just to celebrate love. Celebrate Love, Coupled or Not Guest post by Maxie McCoy It’s that time of year again! The shelves are brimming with pink and red candies. Flower shops…
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!
