Fall dresses have been my go-to outfit recently with this transitional weather, and as someone who loves wearing dresses year-round, I wanted to share some cute dresses you’ll want to wear all season long. Sleeveless Midi Dress // Brown Toile Dress // Flutter Sleeve Shirt Dress // Long Sleeve Wrap Dress // Paisley Long Sleeve Dress //…
Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past couple of weeks, according to my camera roll! Jack has been so excited for soccer and the first day was, literally, a wash! I swear the weather didn’t call for rain until later in the day. When I got in the car, it said “possible drizzle.”…
We have a rainy weekend coming up… not totally sure what that’s going to mean for our weekend plans, so everything is up in the air! I’d love a cozy weekend at home, but that’s not really a possibility with a two year old! I am guessing we will have to pull out all the…
This post is sponsored by Saks OFF 5TH and Collective Voice. I have all eyes on fall! I’ve been looking forward to cooler temps and fall activities…. and the outfits that go along with them! Recently I went through my closet to see what I have that will fit for this fall (and winter) season…
This is my second Halloween post in four days! I just can’t help myself. There’s so much to look forward to about fall, especially because I’m not as sick and tired as I was this summer. Every holiday brings new experiences for Jack, and I’m really looking forward to watching him get all dressed up…
September is flying by right now. It’s typically one of my favorite months of the year and this year has been no exception. The first half felt pretty crazy with travel and activities and getting organized for our back to school routine. Now we are settling in and it just feels so nice. I’m a routine…
I keep going back and forth between feeling like we have so much time for fall activities and then also feeling like we have to everything now because fall will fly by so fast! I also feel like my summer was spent mostly very sick with that first trimester morning sickness. Not that I didn’t…
I had a sponsored campaign for J. Crew over on Instagram and I had to share the photos here. I love this outfit. Realistically, I won’t be able to wear it with my growing bump when it actually gets cool enough, but maybe you can! This is like the fall outfit of my dreams. If…
Guys, I truly don’t know why I can’t get Halloween out of my mind. I have to admit that it used to be my least favorite holiday as a kid. Loved the costumes…. hated trick or treating. In my memory, I had ear infections for the first few Halloweens in my memory… and then we…
This and yap 🤍 Don’t forget to create holiday magic for yourself too! I can’t tell you how nice it was to do some gingerbread decorating without having to follow a three year old’s vision (or fight the sugar battle)! It’s fun to do it with kids, too, but sometimes you just need coffee, baked goods, and little bit of kid-free catch up time with your mom friends! Thank you for hosting @blueskyehouse!!
I wrote down a list of things I wanted to do for fun in 2024. I crossed off exactly zero of them (having a baby will do that to ya) and my only hope of accomplishing one would be to host a cookie exchange! I wanted to SO bad but I was also feeling exhausted after a long year (losing a dog, having a baby, running a business, etc.) and I didn’t know if I had hosting a party in me. I sent out the invitations and told myself I’d figure it out. There was no going back! It was SO FUN though and I will be doing this again. I feel like so much of the holidays as a mom is spent making the magic for kids. It’s Santa meet and greets, Christmas shopping, holiday pageants…. And then seeing Santa again (and again and again). THIS party was for us! 🥂

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
