This is one of my favorite posts about the holidays even though it comes after the holidays. Gift giving is definitely my love language. I always have so much fun coming up with ideas for people and I keep a running list of notes and ideas throughout the year as people note or mention things. For…
I wasn’t exactly looking forward to this year. The stress of Q4 had tainted my view and outlook a little too much. After spending a week at home and then almost completely checking out this past weekend, I feel like a new person. I’m definitely ready for a fresh start. And I know while there…
Every new year, I try to set an intention for the next twelve months. I think I did a pretty good job about staying present last year, although it definitely devolved around the last quarter of the year. This year’s intention is actually something that I inadvertently started last year. I want to focus on…
Helllllllo! After a much needed extended break, we’re back to our regularly scheduled posting! Hope you guys all had a great holiday season. More from me later, but for now, Maxie is sharing her tips for what you need to do before heading into the new year. 3 Ways to Reflect On Last Year (Before…
I’ve been writing this post in my head, as I do for most of my long-form posts, for the better part of the year. Of course, now that I’m sitting down to actually write it, my mind is drawing a blank. In a way, I think it’s because I know there’s no way any post…
I’m officially going on a blog break after today’s post! I usually take a full week off, but I will be back on the 26th for my blog’s 10 year anniversary which will include a HUGE giveaway (seriously, you won’t want to miss it!). This has been THE BEST holiday season to date… and it’s…
It’s as cliche as it comes, but I’m just shocked it’s the end of the year. I feel like I was just writing last year’s recap… and here we are again. This has been a big year for a lot of reasons. I feel like I experienced some of the best of the best, mixed…
I’m totally spoiling a little bit of the surprise of my Christmas gifts this year. I usually pop in after Christmas gifts have been open to share what I got everyone. (Which I’m totally doing again this year because I LOVE the gifts I bought.) But I have to share the ones I’m most excited…
I am completely obsessed with this outfit I put together. If you can’t tell… I’ve clearly been watching the first season of Gossip Girl. Blair’s style definitely is rubbing off on me when I reach for things in my closet currently, ha. It’s a mix of new items from this year with some pieces I’ve had…

It usually takes 10x longer, is way messier, and requires a lot more patience to do things with a three year old toddler… but it’s also kind of magic. (You know, once the cracked eggs are cleaned up from the hardwood floor of course…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳

Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart

Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep.
