So one challenge I knew I was going to overcome was how to shoot ~content~ at home. I know content can be such a gross word, but…. this is my job so I’ve gotta do what I gotta do. My BC routine was to shoot twice a week with Carter (my photographer). She came out…
I love getting massages. They used to freak me out because I was so self-conscious and not totally comfortable in my skin. At some point when I lived in NYC I started getting massages regularly because they were so inexpensive. (I’m not a spa-snob. If someone gives a great massage, I don’t care if it’s a…
We’ve been doing Zoom calls with Mike’s family a couple of times a week. Sometimes they’re themed but they’re always fun. On Sunday’s call we all went around talking about where we want to travel to next, once we’re totally safe to, whenever that may be. Greece, Peru, Italy, the South of France all were…
I’m still solidly in sweater season even though I’ve switched my winter clothes over to warm weather… sweaters are still a large part of my wardrobe. Especially being at home? Sweaters are like security blankets. Cozy and comfortable, but not, like, a sweatshirt. These photos are from February (!?) but I thought I’d still post…
I wanted to bake something this weekend. I know there’s all these memes and what not about baking banana bread, but I think there’s something to it! The ingredients are pretty minimal and bread can be breakfast, a snack, or dessert. (I’d think twice about having a slice of cake at 9am but have no…
I had to check the calendar twice to make sure it was a) Saturday and b) time for another Diary post. I kind of feel like I just did one and couldn’t believe it’s already been two weeks. Time seems… off lately. Both fast and slow. (We’re already a 1/3 of the way through April…) Anyway,…
Honestly not much new to report. Just getting through the days, putting one foot in front of the other. I have written and re-written this paragraph like four times and honestly I just have nothing to say but to keep on keeping on (at home, if you can). ✌🏻 Made some more masks for friends…
I am unbelievably grateful for essential workers right now. Truly. Obviously, and of course, medical professionals. But also teachers who are now juggling virtual classes, grocery store workers who are now serving on the “front lines,” delivery people, waste collectors, etc. I, and so many others, am “safe at home” because of other people’s sacrifices….
Thought I’d round up some of the things I’ve been wearing the most over the past month. I’m actually about to transition my closet– finally forcing myself to do it. I feel like I’m in limbo right now seasonally because my closet is still very much winter. I am hoping that by switching it over I’ll…
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.
