I’m excited to have Maxie back at it for another Maxie Monday! This is such a good, relevant one too. Especially with the New Year right around the corner (two and a half weeks away!), this couldn’t have been written at a better time. Maxie is a pro at all things planning, and mission statements are at…
It’s not just any Monday… it’s another Maxie Monday! Maxie wrote this post and when I pulled the draft up in my inbox, I knew it was going to be a good one. This is one of the absolute hardest parts about growing up: growing up and growing apart. For years, I was tormented by lost…
It’s another Monday, which means it’s another Maxie Monday! This post is particularly one of my favorites because they’re all things Max and I talk about. We gchat all the time and consult and console each other based on what we’re both going through– and we are both going through this all! I was so so…
This is another guest post from the totally amazing Maxie. If you haven’t read her first post about why you should travel abroad alone yet, you must! This post is one that is so perfect for Maxie to write for The College Prepster… when I got a Moleskine for work earlier this summer, Maxie was in…
I’m really, really excited to have Maxie guest posting. Maxie is one of “my people.” She’s an all around star… seriously, she’s someone who walks into a room and radiates amazingness. (And not just because she’s tall and has bright red hair.) I heard about Maxie before I met her and everyone– absolutely everyone– raved about her….
Someone asked me a question on Tumblr that really got me thinking… She asked if I had any regrets in my life. Sometimes I think that I move so fast through life that I don’t have time to really sit back and dwell on the coulda/shoulda/wouldas. (I mean really, it feels like the weather was…
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!
