This week was a bit of a blur over here. I feel like I’ve been on the hamster wheel in a perpetual state of being behind and I’ve just been trying to get back on top of things. (Or at the very least not be as behind!) The days have been bleeding together a bit,…
What’s better than a striped sweater? … A striped sweatshirt. I’ve always loved a comfy sweatshirt, but never in my life did I imagine it would become a wardrobe staple for a year spent at home. I had a few novelty sweatshirts from vacations, but they always felt just slightly sloppy. Like I hadn’t even…
First, I just want to start this post by saying thank you from the bottom of my heart. Mike and I were so elated when we found out and it has been a challenge to keep it a secret from everyone! Sharing the news was so exciting. I also want to send a virtual hug…
Whew! My first “week of outfits” post where I can let out a sigh of relief and say….. The rough first trimester is 100% why I’ve gone 100% comfy 😅. I still fit into my jeans and I don’t really have much of a bump yet (I was very, very bloated for a while but…
Last year, Stubbs and Wootton asked me if I wanted to do a shoe collaboration. Stubbs were the first pair of shoes I ever “splurged” on. They are known for their iconic smoking slippers. Each shoe has its own personality and once you get one pair, it’s hard not to want to collect all the…
As you can tell from the title… we’re having a BABY!!! Baby Riordan is due this August. Mike and I could not be more excited to welcome our first child into our family. I have felt a calling to become a mother since childhood and it feels like a dream come true. And I can’t…
Welcome to another round up of my recent iPhone pics! Kind of a fun round up of photos. I think we definitely made the most of being “at home” lately. Diary No.49 I crack up every time I pick Teddy and Hamilton up from the groomers. They get so fluffy. We love our groomer here in…
This week was kind of a hodge podge of highs and lows. I started counting down the days to the weekend early, which is never a great sign. However… I am really looking forward to this weekend. We’re not big Valentine’s Day people and the pandemic has changed our minds about it this year! And I’m…
Maybe it’s because I’m rotating through the same few wardrobe items, but I’ve been feeling like getting a few more iPhone cases. Really, it’s such a strange shopping “itch.” So many things feel totally useless right now. I have used the same handbag literally since last March– only one day did I decide to commit to…
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.
