I have been on some incredible trips with friends. It’s something that I think everyone should do because friendships only grow deeper after a wonderful trip. The stakes are a little higher, but it’s fun to be outside of the usual environment and to spend all day every day together. How to Getaway (the Right…
Even though I tell myself that I’m not going to buy another bathing suit, I end up breaking and doing it year after year. I’m picky about bathing suits. I don’t why exactly, but I get a little bit of panic every time I put on a bathing suit. It has nothing to do with how…
Back today with another installment of 1 Girl, 5 Outfits! This time we’re featuring Sara who lives in upstate New York. She emailed me with the idea of being featured as someone who doesn’t dwell in a city and I loved that idea. Hey there! My name is Sara Albinger, I’m (almost!) 27 years old…
I am absolutely obsessed with this dress from the Gal Meets Glam Collection that just launched. I’ve loved every single one that I’ve received, but this one takes the cake for me. I loved it from the second I saw it in the lookbook and it only went up from there. I’ve never received so…
Happy Friday friends! This week was pretty uneventful for me in a good way. I was able to get a lot accomplished and I’m going into this long weekend feeling great. One weird thing happened to me though: I had a panic attack (at the gym 😫). The crazy thing about it is that I…
I’ve been kind of Marie Kondō-ing my life lately. If you’re unfamiliar, Marie Kondō is the woman being The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, a book that gives you strategies and tips for totally decluttering your home. The essence of the tips can be boiled down to: does this object bring me joy. Of course in actual life,…
There are plenty of things about summer that I look forward to: the sun being out past 9 pm, shutting down work a little earlier on a Friday afternoon, watermelon for days, weekend adventures, dining al fresco… and dresses. As much as I love my jeans and sweaters (and you guys know I love my jeans and…
I have to do a little recap of our stay at The Gasparilla Inn last week. It is such a happy place for me and I wish everyone can experience it at some point. My family went there together for the first time a couple of years ago and I have been dreaming about going…
Oh man, two and a half months later, the apartment is starting to finallllllly come together. Maybe “come together” is the wrong word, but we’re past the “major issues” stage. And thank goodness for that because I thought it was going to break me there for a bit. But we survived! The one thing that…

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

#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! 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. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
