I hope everyone is able to check out of work for at least a little bit this week. All of my friends have different schedules and it’s kind of sad that the Fourth falls on a Wednesday… do you take more vacation days? Do you do it before or after? With so many options it’s…
I love everything about the Fourth of July, especially the food! I have an affinity for hamburgers and a soft spot for hotdogs too. If you have a fun afternoon planned with friends, Louisa has your menu covered, whether you’re hosting everyone or bringing one dish to a party. What to Cook for the 4th…
I have had these gingham pants tucked in my closet for a couple of years now. I love pulling them out to wear because they kind of remind me of Audrey Hepburn a bit. They are still available at J. Crew, which signals that they are a classic. Even though I loved them when I bought…
Because I’ve been going down the shore (haha, I think I’m using that correctly 😂) nearly every weekend, I have actually been donning swimsuits a lot more frequently than I’m used to. Literally two or three times a week now I’m in a swimsuit at the beach. It’s actually making me not feel quite as…
Well hello there Friday! Last weekend I was supposed to be on Nantucket, but we had to postpone our trip. I ended up going down the shore with my boyfriend’s family and it was just a nice and low-key couple of days. I wasn’t totally feeling like myself for various reasons, so it was just…
I LOVE the Fourth of July. It has a pretty special place in my heart because we used to spend the holiday with a week vacation at my grandparent’s house on Oak Island in North Carolina. That week was always the highlight of our summer. The entire family would spend hours at the beach, participate…
This skirt might be my favorite item from J. Crew this year. They nailed absolutely everything about it. It’s truly a closet staple for summertime and can be dressed up and dressed down. Wear it to work or over a bathing suit at the beach. I really, really hope they bring it back in solids and…
Posting to Instagram is a big chunk of my job. I have a love/hate relationship with it, mostly because as a user, you’re at the whim of another company and your KPIs are broadcasted out in a public manner. Now, there’s a lot of buzz about Instagram these days because of the ~algorithm~. Yes, I…
I love this post by Maxie for more reasons to count! I also just have to brag on her for a second… I listened to a snippet of her audiobook and, ugh!, it gave me goosebumps! If you’ve ever “felt lost” with your path, it is FOR YOU. Ever since I learned that she was…

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳

Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart

Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines.
