I’m a little late to posting this outfit, but this dress is too cute not to share. And I still totally wear white after Labor Day. (In fact, I think white dresses in the fall and even winter are pretty chic with the right accessories!) It’s also pretty crazy to look back on these photos. So…
While I soak up this precious newborn time, I’ve asked a few of my friends if they wanted to contribute a guest post for my blog! Today I’m excited to introduce my Insta-Turned-IRL friend, Sam. I have been following Sam on Instagram for a while and we recently met for the first time (though it felt…
I’ve been down the shore with Jack, Mike, and Mike’s parents this week. We skipped actual Labor Day weekend to avoid the crowds and we’ve just been having a lovely, low-key week here. I was pretty anxious about leaving our house and getting out of our “routine” (I use that loosely lol), but Jack adjusted…
I was blown away by your response to the summer capsule wardrobe I shared back in May. The number one request I got without a doubt was to make one for every season. If you haven’t heard about them already, a capsule wardrobe is essentially a curated set of clothing. The idea is that all the pieces…
There are so many things you can’t be adequately prepared for until you’re experiencing it when it comes to pregnancy, labor/delivery, postpartum, and caring for a newborn. For one thing, everyone’s experience is going to be completely different. And along those lines, you can read about different experiences, be warned about different things, and even watch…
A short and sweet post today! I bought myself two “presents” for myself. I usually splurge on something at the end of the year for myself and I didn’t do it. We’ve had so many celebratory moments mixed in with the overall 2020 doom and gloom and I just couldn’t even think about anything I wanted….
Oh man what a week. It’s been great and awful at the same time. We are very much “cocooned” right now in newborn bliss, but obviously there’s been a lot of terrible news both globally and locally happening. During the day, I feel pretty shielded from it as I try to survive from Jack’s nap…
What am I thinking about right now? COZIES! Partly because we’re heading into fall and partly because life has been a whirlwind these last few months. A quiet evening at home reading and needlepointing has been such a treat lately. When life gets busy, it does feel good to put on something super cozy and…
I haven’t had as much time to reflect on the fact that I have yet another year of life under my belt. I almost skipped writing this post entirely– partially because it’s been hard to find windows of time where I feel in the “right mindset” to write in between nursing and Jack’s naps. But…
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.
