DIARY No.54 Here’s the past two weeks according to my phone’s camera roll. Mike and I love these Kodiak Cake pancakes. They are super easy to make and are packed with protein. I don’t make them often but whenever I want kind of a “treat”-like weekend breakfast, these are a go-to. Teddy moves throughout the…
This week has been a whirlwind! Kind of a bit of everything. From hitting a deadline five days early to getting sick again from pregnancy. I’m relieved re: the deadline and hopeful that the getting sick was just a fluke. I have been trying to get ahead of schedule work-wise so I can take some…
Who is ready for “shot girl summer.” I could never really get behind the hot girl summer meme, but shot girl summer? 100% here for it. Last year, I was so sad that most of my cute summer dresses went unworn in my closet. I rotated through many of the same casual dresses where I went…
Here, here for the stretchy dresses! As soon as I saw this dress modeled on Instagram by Freddie Harrel, I added it to my cart. It’s been going in and out of stock, so if you don’t see your size it could be worth coming back in a day or so and checking back. It’s…
Apparently I was really feeling black and neutrals as my color palette over the last week. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I think the biggest win from the past week was that I successfully listened to my body. This is not a strength of mine and I’m usually one to just push through it. I did not feel great…
I’ve been so behind on my Instagram DMs lately. It’s a battle I really can’t win and I feel like I’m always going to disappoint people since I simply can’t get to every one. I opened up a question box this weekend. I answered a few there and thought I’d answer another ten in a…
We’re a few weeks away from Mother’s Day…. and I’m already starting the hunt. So many fun things to shower mom with love. And I know that it’s not about the gifts, but when you spot something that feels like you’ve found something that’s very “her” it’s hard to resist! MOTHER’S DAY GIFTS Mixed Media Bow…
This has been the year of the sneaker for me. I used to wear ballet flats almost every single day and now I find myself reaching for my sneakers. I am so happy that sneaks are in style and acceptable to wear with everything from jeans to dresses. So many cute styles out there. I…
It’s been a bumpier this week than usual. Really just a lot on my plate over the next couple of weeks and I am eager to get things done. I honestly feel like I’m back in college and I have one final paper standing between me and summer vacation. I am planning on taking a tiny…
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!
@mackenziechilds has done it again! Say hello to Mocha Check, the latest pattern in the MacKenzie-Childs family. I am loving how the neutral but warm tones brighten up my office space! Swipe to see how I’ve incorporated the pieces throughout my office. #MCPartner #MCMochaCheck

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.
