I am all about smocked dresses right now. They are the easiest things in the world to throw on and the smocking guarantees a good fit. As the season heats up, I am finding myself reaching for all things smocked. SMOCKED DRESS UNDER $30 My mom and I ran into Target for a quick errand and, well,…
I felt like I went a little “light” this month with reading. Honestly, it was a more stressful month for me and I couldn’t exactly deal with anything too heavy in my spare time. So, page-turners it is! WHAT I READ IN APRIL 2021 THE HUNTING PARTY by Lucy Foley 4/5 Stars I’m pretty late…
Since it’s the first day of May (how?!), I thought today could be the perfect day for a roundup of floral items. I’m usually more of striped girl myself, but lately I have definitely been gravitating towards all things floral. From scents to prints, I’ll take one of each! MAY FLOWERS Bolero Bouquet (CARLY20 for…
I’m pre-writing this post…. but when it goes live, I should be fully relaxed down in Florida. I’ve been counting down the days until I could see my family again and I’m so happy everyone was able to get their vaccines to make this trip happen. It’s been so strange not being able to see my…
When J. Crew reached out to partner on a post together, I knew I wanted to shoot it down in Florida while I was visiting my family. J. Crew is always the first place I go whether I’m looking for staples and basics or going somewhere special. It’s already hot down at my parents’ house so I…
NURSERY INSPIRATION I know I’ve mentioned that I haven’t done much for the nursery. I haven’t had the chance to fully dig into the details, but I feel like I was being unfair to myself. Yes, the room is currently a disaster. It’s a hodge podge of old furniture and I’ve been using it as a…
Sooooo last week had some winter weather hit us and I’m hoping it’s the last of it until…. October. I also spent most of the week gearing up to take time off. Felt a little hectic but I am just so excited to be in Florida to see my fam, it made the work feel easier….
I haven’t had the chance to sew in what feels like eons. I miss it!!!! I’m hoping this summer I’ll have a bit more time to commit to pulling my machine out. (I actually stored it in the basement because seeing it was making me sad.) Rounding up some great summer fabric choices here. After…
This post is sponsored by thredUP. I have been a big fan of thredUP for years. Now that I’m pregnant, I’m relying on thredUP more than ever!!! If I’ve learned anything in my short time with a baby bump so far, it’s that finding clothes that make me feel GOOD during this stage of life…
When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!

A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!

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.
