Happy December! Our tree is up, I saw the big Rockefeller Tree, all of our Christmas candles have been lit, and the Polar Express soundtrack has been playing on repeat in our house and car. We are excited for this holiday season. I also just quickly want to tell you thank you for shopping all of my gift…

My friend Melissa Smrekar has the most fun Christmas tree tradition of collecting ornaments that represent the year (called a “pledge class”). I’ll admit that I’m not the best Christmas ornament curator – our trees are definitely pretty, but less eclectic – but it’s still SO inspiring. After spending the weekend decking the halls with…
A quick week of outfits here! I don’t have photos from the weekend because my mom and I were working hard getting the house decorated for Christmas and I lived in leggings and a sweatshirt. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Our house is DECORATED. Hallelujah. I’ve been anxious about getting it done and having it checked off my…
The best time of year…. it’s tartan season! My tartan choices this year are a bit limited between my bump and just wanting/needing to be comfortable all the time. I refuse to let it hold me back from experiencing a little bit of my favorite fabric. (And when in doubt, there’s always a tartan bow…

A day late with this as I rounded up the best of the Black Friday sales yesterday! I wanted to share some of the links I found online this week though. Can’t skip an “on my radar” post 😜 Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Tuckernuck’s Holiday Collection One benefit…
Tried to round up some of the best sales right now. I am happy to say I crossed nearly every gift off my list already. (Just have one more Secret Santa!) I really took advantage of the sales this year– starting early and having more time than just a day or two has actually taken…
Happy Thanksgiving, friends! I hope everyone has a safe and healthy day filled with family, friends, and good food 🤗

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…) 👩🏻🍳 🧑🏼🍳
Matching aprons from @weezietowels!
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
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you.

#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! 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. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
