Guysssss….. I’m going to Paris next month. If you’ve been following here for a while, you know that it’s been a major dream of mine, but I just haven’t been able to make it work. Even though I’ve had my eyes set on Paris, it’s also made me extremely nervous. Whenever I’ve traveled to new countries,…
I have to start this post with an apology. The dress I’m wearing already sold out. But it’s so good that I had to post it still– and you can sign up for the waitlist. They’ve already re-released it after it sold out the first time, so I’m hoping Draper James brings it back again! The more email addresses/interest they get, the better. I’m hoping they do it in a few colors, definitely black, maybe a dark green, and a light pink.
I love sandwiches. Whenever I go out to eat lunch, I like to get a great sandwich. I’m all for a delicious turkey club, but I’m also down to try any kind if it comes recommended. My friend Victoria makes the absolute best sandwiches (she could open up a restaurant with them), and she inspired me to…
I’m going to file this under “best. dress. ever.” I don’t know if it was the release of Beauty and the Beast or the upcoming summer season, but this dress popped out at me, and I knew I needed to have it. While it’s simply adorable, the price might just make it a must-have for the season.
I dressed it up for this shoot. It would easily work for graduation festivities, weddings, and al fresco date night dinners. But I think it’d be just as cute with a pair of sandals for a more casual day around town.
As I’ve been spending more time at the gym (who am I?), I’ve been working on perfecting my gym bag situation. If I’m in a rush that day, I just waltz into the gym with my regular purse and hope for the best. But when I have time, especially if I’m planning on taking back to back classes or meeting someone after, I have to be prepared.
Here’s an idea of what I pack:
A few months ago I included an article about the secret to happiness. Or maybe “a” secret to happiness. It was about searching for and recognizing, slivers of joy in your life. I think about those slivers of happiness every day still. I love how simple it is. Some slivers of joy from the week:…
I’m sure all of you are all too familiar with the suffocating feeling when there’s so much to do that you’re not sure where to begin. I hate that feeling, but unfortunately, things get to that point now and then. Sometimes it’s a full week, and other times it’s only a day. No matter how…
Last week, as I was walking to the train station, I spotted the very first buds on the tree branches. It was the most glorious sight. Hopefully, the leaves aren’t too far behind. I’m ready for the greenery, even if it means suffering through a few weeks of allergies!
Anyway, I’m rounding up some of my top picks today. I feel extra inspired to add a few spring-y things to my closet. Not that I need anything, but the online shopping right now is extra tempting.
One thing that I do religiously before and after working out is getting in a good stretch. If I ever did any workout before, I wouldn’t stretch. Now I know I’d be in trouble (that is, incredibly sore and potentially hurt) afterward if I didn’t.
@ohmymahjong hooked me UP! Learning mahjong has been on my mind for a while and this year we finally made it happen! My 97 year old grandma Charlotte plays mahjong every week- and now that I have learned, I know what’s been keeping her so young! Mahjong is FUN and the perfect mix of luck and strategy. The rules can be a lot to learn (I’m still learning for sure) but it’s easy to pick up with a good teacher.
Thank you #ohmymahjong for all the fun goodies… chic tiles, a handy mat, great organizers! Everything we need for our next mahjong girls night! #mahjong
🏈🍴 As a #HoodPartner, I’m bringing my A-game with a chili bar featuring the ultimate all-star—@hphood Sour Cream. Made with real Hood Milk and Cream, every bite’s a win with high quality flavor!
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
Getting ready for the day and need help picking out which shoe to wear! My whole outfit is head to toe @amazon! Are we feeling the sneakers or the kitten heel mules?
