As I’ve learned a lot more about cooking and realized how much I really enjoy it over the past year, one of my regrets is that I didn’t pick it up sooner. I always seemed to have an excuse for why it wasn’t possible, when in reality it definitely was– including my years in college!…
New and Now
I’ve honestly been pretty bad with my shopping lately. Normally this is my least favorite time of year to buy things because it’s peak heat, but fall stuff is coming out. (Why people… WHY!?)
Well, I’ve still managed to find a few things I just couldn’t resist. Some practical and some just for fun:
VIDEO | Puppy Playdate with Kiel and Sarah’s Puppy
After meeting Kiel and Sarah’s new puppy Bennie while on Nantucket, I knew we had to get a puppy playdate on the calendar ASAP. I wanted Bennie to meet Ham and Ted before she outgrew them (which is going to happen in, like, two weeks). Somehow we found a date that worked and so the four of us– plus the pups– met up in Westport for an afternoon of dog fun.
On My Radar
If one more person says they’re ready for fall weather, I’ll scream. Yes, this week was miserably humid and hot. (I think it was worse than Florida at certain points… Suffocating really.) But still. Summer is my favorite. And as much as I love fall, I know I’m going to miss these hot summer days…
Teddy and Hamilton’s Adventures
I thought I’d give a little update on the pups today. I’ll be upfront about two things… One, I love little Hamilton in a way I didn’t think was possible. I was apprehensive about a second dog, mostly because I wondered how I’d love another dog as much as I loved Teddy. But… two, the…
School Supplies
I’m kind of dying over all the school supplies available right now. I have a surplus of notebooks and notepads and pens, so I would love to live vicariously through you. ?
Here are some of my favorites:
Popsicle Shirtdress
The minute I saw this dress I knew I had to have it. Shirtdresses are my go to style, especially during the summer. I wear one at least once a week. They’re just too easy to throw but make you look put together.
I have a closet full of plain white or blue, striped, seersucker, etc. shirtdresses. I had to add this popsicle print into my collection. It’s “fun” without being over the top. Just a warning, if you wear this dress, be prepared for everyone to exclaim, “Omg, are those popsicles?!” throughout the day!!! (I secretly love it.)
First Job Advice
My first job was an interesting one. (I worked at a tech startup for 13 months right out of college.) I wouldn’t change it at all because it was a valuable experience no matter which way you slice it. There were plenty of good days and there were plenty of bad days, but they all…
Where to Begin if You Want to Journal
I am so in love with this post for a few reasons. One, it was requested by a reader. I can’t even begin to tell you how much your emails and snaps and tweets and comments make my day. They really do! Two, Maxie dug up an old post that brought back so many memories. I…
