Ugh! This is at the very top of my mind lately. Having a smartphone can be a blessing and a curse. I recently went through an iPhone-related-crisis right around the same time that Maxie was too. We both were talking to each other about it and trying to find a good solution. Her tips today are…
While I love sunny days, I can’t resist a foggy one on Nantucket. It was pretty rainy all day, so we loaded up into our rented Mini Cooper and went on a driving tour of the island. We went from one end to the other and turned down roads as we wished.
As luck would have it, the rain turned to a drizzle as we neared ‘Sconset, so we hopped out to take some photos by Sankaty Light. I think it’s my favorite lighthouse– it’s definitely the most picturesque!

Over the past couple of years, I have grown a little obsessed with silk scarves. For being just simple squares of silk, they are so versatile. My favorite use for them is to tie them around my handbags. I tend to swap them out every few months depending on the season and occasionally switch one…
I don’t have a ton to report to you this week. It was mostly boring days sitting in front of my computer, working, and getting organized for the kick off of the “busy” season for blogging. A couple of highlights though: – My workout classes have been going SO well. I felt like I was improving…
Now that I’m back in my routine, I am back in the kitchen more and more. I paused my Hello Fresh account and amped up my grocery shopping because I’m trying to eat a lot healthier. I’m still splurging on ice cream and the occasional sweet, of course, but I want my everyday meals to…
I am in the process of sprucing up my bedroom. My original plan fell through last minute and then I just put it on the back burner. I let months go by before I got the task underway again. It started with fresh sheets, and I finally picked out a new duvet. Can’t wait to share…
Happy August! I know there’s plenty more of summer left (🙌🏻), but there’s something about the beginning of August that makes the back to school/end of summer feeling come back. Our school always started in the first or second week of August, and I think that has just always stuck with me. Half of me wants to hold onto the warm, long nights and the other half is tempted to run to my local office supply store and stock up on pencils.
I just cleaned out and organized my kitchen cabinets. I typically keep my slow cooker tucked out of the way during the summer and then pull it back out in the fall. Well, now I think I need to bring it out! I love the idea of doing a fun barbecue dish in the slow…
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
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.

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!!
