Here’s what we have been up to the last two weeks according to my camera roll! It’s a little lighter than normal because I have been so sick and have taken way, way fewer photos than usual! We are buzzing with excitement for the Super Bowl! Almost everyone got together to watch the last football…
I wouldn’t say we are exactly thriving this week, but we are doing our best to survive. I’m really looking forward to being through this sickness season– I’m grateful my kids have largely been spared, but it’s really taken its toll on me physically and mentally! I still feel super weak from having the flu….
January was a whirlwind! I’m trying to take this week to catch up, and excited to be back with another roundup of top sellers that include some of my favorite clothing and beauty finds from last month! Harper Crop Jeans If you’re looking for a good pair of wide leg jeans these are my favorite!…
Growing up, my mom always me and my sister little gifts for Valentine’s Day. It was always fun to wake up and see what we got (like a mini Christmas morning!). Was it extra? Maybe, but we felt SO special every time. After writing about fun Valentine’s Day cards for kids last week, it’s only…
Apologies for the unplanned and unannounced radio silence! I got knocked down hard by the flu last week. It was truly the sickest I’ve ever been in my adult life and I spent days (!!!) in bed. Happy to report that thankfully I made it out on the other side though. Hoping everyone stays healthy out…
I was browsing through J.Crew’s January new arrivals this week and came across some gorgeous pieces to carry us into spring. Here are a few that caught my eye! Trench Coat // Dark Wash Jeans // Striped Merino Wool Crewneck // Black Pintuck Dress // Denim Trouser // Red Ballet Flats // Drapey Pleated Shirtdress // Brushed Cashmere Short…
Valentines have come a long way since we were kids! It’s almost hard to believe that everyone used to choose from the same limited options available at Target or the grocery store. No doubt you’d end up with the same design as at least one other kid in your class, then ask them if theirs…
Another week of outfits. I was really suffering from a sinus infection and we had a major cold front push through the area and it was just kind of miserable. But we got through it and turns out I might just be in my football era. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I actually had fun watching the Eagles…
I typically share the books that I read, but while I took some time off of work after finishing holiday campaigns and the beginning of 2025 I ended up watching a bunch of movies and shows and also listening to a couple of podcasts. Especially watching the movies, it felt like such a nice escape….
one year in the books of BROTHERS FOREVER 🫶🏻 I can’t believe how big both boys have gotten in just one year…. My heart can barely take it. I can’t remember life without them and, truly, it feels like they’ve always been a part of me. #brothers
@ohmymahjong hooked me UP! Learning mahjong has been on my mind for a while and this year we finally made it happen! My 97 year old grandma Charlotte plays mahjong every week- and now that I have learned, I know what’s been keeping her so young! Mahjong is FUN and the perfect mix of luck and strategy. The rules can be a lot to learn (I’m still learning for sure) but it’s easy to pick up with a good teacher.
Thank you #ohmymahjong for all the fun goodies… chic tiles, a handy mat, great organizers! Everything we need for our next mahjong girls night! #mahjong
🏈🍴 As a #HoodPartner, I’m bringing my A-game with a chili bar featuring the ultimate all-star—@hphood Sour Cream. Made with real Hood Milk and Cream, every bite’s a win with high quality flavor!
When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!

A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!
