A short, but good, month for reading. I’ve maintained my goal of reading every single night still. Some nights it’s really just for a few pages and other nights I feel myself getting sucked into the story. But it’s the perfect way to step away from the screen and tell my brain that it’s time…
Crazy that this is already the fiftieth Diary post. They’ve turned into some of my favorites to write… and to personally go back and revisit for the memories. DIARY No.50 We had a nice Valentine’s Day at home! We usually don’t do anything, but because we’re at home we thought it would be fun to…
This was one of the best weeks I have had in a while. We had some glorious, glorious sunshine and hearing the snow melting brought me an immense amount of hope. It felt like our whole neighborhood came alive again. So many people out walking around and getting fresh air. We have some rain heading…
I had another post scheduled for today but goodness it is so lovely out right now (I’m writing this on Wednesday!) that I had to change gears. First of all, I think I have exited the worst of the nausea stage of pregnancy and I feel like the fog has cleared. I almost don’t even…
So I ordered this sweater because I loved how cute it was. I definitely have too many grey sweaters… but I just love them! I somehow missed that it’s reversible. In fact, I didn’t realize it was reversible until I went to do this blog post and pulled up the landing page. I totally would…
My jeans are officially feeling uncomfortable. I’m in this awkward stage where my jeans are tight but my bump isn’t really big enough for maternity jeans. It’s also (still) cold and snowy and we (still) have nowhere to go. So… lots of leggings this past week!! Keeping it really, really real. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I…
Don’t get me wrong, I have been indulging this year. Mostly because I felt so nauseous all day, carbs were my best friend. I finally feel like I can eat normally and I’ve never been happier to consume all the fruits and vegetables. Cucumbers and bell peppers have been my go-to afternoon snack lately. I also…
I posted this poll on my story this past week and got a ton of incredible responses about going makeup-free more and more. And not just going makeup free, but feeling confident while doing so. As you can see from the poll, I’m not the only one who feels this way. I was a late…
I’ve had a few things from Lululemon over the years, but recently I have become reintroduced to the brand. I was having a particularly uncomfortable day (from that first trimester bloating) and I couldn’t stand to be in any of my clothes. My yoga pants, which I’ve loved for years, felt like they were digging…
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.
