Hello Friday! I don’t know if it’s something that happens in other parts of the country, but Fridays in/around NYC are dubbed “Summer Fridays” and things shut down early for the weekend. We kind of did this at my old job, but I know some of my friends have the entire afternoon off or they’re…
During our quick visit to Nantucket a couple of weeks ago, we had one perfectly warm afternoon that was fit for a trip to the beach. Packing a bathing suit at all was wishful thinking, but it appears that it brought us good luck with the weather. It would be such a shame to visit…
One of my favorite quotations is, “Friends are family you choose for yourself.” Remember when making friends was just… easy? You’d show up to first grade and it seemed like friends were everywhere. Maybe you sat at the same table, or were in the same soccer program, or (if luck would have it) your moms…
I don’t know how the shift happened, but I have been having so much fun experimenting with skincare and beauty products. Actually, now that I’m writing this, it might be a hand-in-hand thing. Because I’ve been taking such great care of my skin, I feel more confident to try new things. And you know what?…
Some days I wake up and just feel “off” from the get-go. It’s kind of like waking up on the wrong side of the bed; hard to pinpoint what the reason is– if there even is a reason! I do think life can serve you the most amazing of days, but not every day can…
I’m dying to know if you guys have read any great books this year? The stack next to my bed keeps growing and growing. I haven’t been able to read fast enough. I flew down to Charleston on Friday morning and had planned on getting through a good chunk of a new book, but I…
I am a SUCKER for a cute beach towel. It’s actually pretty crazy how many I have right now. One summer it was the PR gift of the season so every other package that showed up had a towel. I honestly loved it. I keep a few in the trunk of my car (#puppyproblems) and…
I think the most exciting part of the week is that I’ve been finalizing my summer travel schedule. Last winter, I rented a house for a week in July on Nantucket, and I just found out that my sister is going to be able to join for a bit of the trip! I’m super excited…
Did you guys catch my Instagram Stories last week while I was on Nantucket? I was there with NIR Retail and it was basically a shopaholic’s dream come true. I was given the opportunity to go to a bunch of stores (somewhere around 15– I lost track) to meet the shopkeepers and do a little…

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. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep.
