I love my comfort zone– leaving it makes me queasy. For better or for worse, though, it’s necessary for growth. Maxie and I have both supported each other (and been there for each other) as we ventured outside of our comfort zones. If you’re ready for a change or need a little push to get yourself to your next level, Maxie’s tips can help get you there.

I love being able to wear dresses all day, every day during the summer. But I’ve been trying to branch out and wear my shorts more. I don’t know how, but I completely forgot about a huge stack of shorts I had in a basket in my closet. Critter shorts, printed shorts, chino shorts. I was flipping through and rediscovered my scalloped white shorts. They ended up inspiring this outfit.

As great as the Nordstrom sale has been for clothing, I think the home items are just as great. I’m actually kind of in love with so many items. (Maybe even more so than the dresses and shoes!)
There are so many things that I already own and recommend, plus quite a few things that I have my eye on.
The Dash and Albert rug we have is included in the sale as well as similar navy greek key pillows. I also have a couple of these Turkish towels that I use for trips to the park and beach.
Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is by far the best sale of the year. I always end up getting the best things that I wear forever and ever. (My mom bought me a pair of Tory Burch riding boots in 2008 for my birthday during the sale!)
Can I just reiterate here how much I love you guys! This week was an exciting and frustrating as far as the website/rebrand goes… but your support made it beyond worth it. It reminded me just how awesome you are, and how lucky I am! It seems like everything is up and running for the…
The news lately has been far from good. It seems like I start every morning by standing in the shower feeling helpless. The steady stream watering my sadness and masking my tears. I wipe the fog off the mirror to find my plain, makeup-free face staring back at me. My reflection begs for, demands, an…
So in the midst of all the new-blog craziness, I shared a vlog on Youtube that I filmed last week. Literally every day for me is different. (And sometimes days go completely different than I expected, like this week!) But I thought last Thursday was the perfect day for filming as I was hosting a meet and greet in the city.
If you’re swinging by today, you may notice big changes around here. I’m beyond thrilled that my new website is finally up and running. Other than the content, pretty much everything is different. It’s been a long time coming, too. But I have to admit, I’m one of those people who…
It’s that time in the summer when I start to panic that time is slipping through my fingers. June, to me, is all about slow, long summer days. Creeping up to the longest day of the year feels luxurious. Like we have all the time in the world for venturing the beach, eating dinner outside,…

If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
