Louisa from Living Lou is back today with the PERFECT holiday recipe. Not your typical cookie or dinner suggestion, but the recipe you’ll want to have on hand throughout the craziness of the holidays. Now, I went on a juicing spree a while back and got totally derailed when I started to not like my…
So Maxie wrote this guest post about the holidays. Of course, I was nodding my head the whole time I read it for the first time. And then! I realized that while it’s great for the holidays, the whole list is basically applicable for the rest of the year, too. A Perfectionist’s Guide to the…
Maxie must have read my mind!!! I’m in full-on holiday mode (which, if you know me, is pretty unusual) and starting to feel overwhelmed by everything that the holidays bring: tons of events, travel stress, trying to fit it all in, etc. Oh, and no one wants to be around a stressed out basket case….
Jaime and I were blown away by the career questions everyone had. Thank you so much to everyone who submitted one. Jaime is here today kicking off the first of the readers’ questions posts: Tips for Writing Cover Letters by Jaime from The Prepary Thank you all for the amazing questions and career post ideas! We…
This is the Maxie-est of Maxie Monday posts! When I was younger, I almost only had girl friends. Maybe one or two guys from class, but really mostly girls. It wasn’t until I switched from the girl’s to the boy’s rowing team in high school that I started making guy friends! And throughout college most…
There’s something about November and December that makes my sweet tooth ache for chocolatey things. I’ve personally been baking brownies and cookies like it’s my job over here…. my mouth legitimately started drooling when Louisa from Living Lou sent me the recipe for these Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars. Yum, yum, yum. Guest recipe by Louisa…
Maxie is one of my best friends and she has certainly seen and heard about my good (and bad) days and vice versa. We’re both good people, but it can be tempting to be a little bit selfish– especially when we’re having a bad day. (You all know I love my massages!) Her advice is…
Louisa is here again today with a healthy and autumn-y dish. Roasted vegetables are one of my favorite comfort foods and I love the way she prepares them. (I love the way they make my kitchen smell too while they’re cooking.) Definitely cooking these up this week! Recipe: Roasted Root Vegetables By: Living Lou If I’m…
The only editor’s note/preface I’ll say for this amazing guest post is that I would argue we all need a “Maxie” in our lives! ***** Why You Need a Tribe Guest post by Maxie McCoy A year ago was my first ever #MaxieMonday post. It’s pretty hard to believe how quickly time has passed and…
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!
