This was a great week over here. I came off of a pretty busy work stretch from November until the end of April and it took me a solid two weeks to get my footing back into a “normal” work routine again. This was the first week where I felt like a normal sense of…
This year I’m making up for all of the dresses I didn’t get to wear last summer! I don’t know about you, but after spending most of the last year inside or at home, I’ve started to miss getting dressed up. It’s crazy how much of a difference throwing on a simple dress can make…
I consider myself a connoisseur of sorts when it comes to J. Crew dresses. Because of the nature of what I do for a living, I am always trying to figure out what the “best buys” of the season are going to be. Trust me when I say: this smocked gingham dress is it. J. Crew has…
This was a great week mixed with work and pleasure. The only negative is that I have been getting crushed by allergies this year and I have been experiencing some pretty terrible pregnancy-related reflux, so I have been getting sick almost every night when I try to fall asleep. It’s fun 😜 My outfits for home…
I realized a bit ago how I hadn’t been listening to a lot of music. If I’m in my car or walking or even just doing chores around the house, I always have an audiobook going. And I have been working with the news on if I’m downstairs or silence if I’m upstairs. I was…
The summer is always one of the slower portions of the year for me work-wise. In my early twenties I would feel so down on myself and would try to overwork myself unnecessarily just to feel productive. I realized how dumb this was. I was working harder, but certainly not smarter. So I switched gears and…
I finally cleaned out two drawers in our dining room. When we moved into our house, they became a dumping ground for random things I wasn’t sure what to do with…. and didn’t want to look at. I genuinely can’t remember the last time I had even opened the cabinet to access the drawers. In…
Mike and I are going into the city for a little staycation. We have been talking about doing this for a long time and we finally felt like it was time to do it now that we’re fully vaccinated and things are getting a bit more normal. I haven’t been in the city at all…
These last few weeks have been prime denim jacket season. We’ve had a few warmer days in NJ, but for the most part, it’s not warm enough just yet to forgo long sleeves. I’ve mentioned in some of my recent Week of Outfits Posts that one of my favorite things to do lately is work from Sunday…
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.
