Even if you don’t know what Sriracha is, you have probably seen the bottle before. Garrett watched this documentary about Sriracha and immediately needed a bottle to give it a go. “It goes with everything,” he told me. I watched it with him too and thought it was one of the best stories as far…
This week was a chilly one! My space heater was my saving grace… I kept that thing running and running high while I worked. I mostly caught up on work and got a few things situated for tax season (blah!)… but it was my yoga classes that really stood out this week! I can’t thank…
This is around the time of year when I start seriously questioning why I live in NYC. It’s just too cold. I don’t think I’d mind the cold so much if I could hop into a car, blast the heat, crank up the seat heaters, and drive to wherever I needed to go. When my…
I can remember the exact day that I uttered the question, “Want to sit together?” for the first time. My elementary school typically had assigned seats for lunch. We hated those assigned seats because the teachers would ensure that you weren’t sitting next to BFFs lest the lunchroom get too noisy. One day the assigned…
Thank you for all the incredible comments on today’s earlier blog post! I’m happy to report that I went to my first class today… and loved it. I kept where I was planning to go vague in my previous post because I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. I had researched a…
So I don’t have the best track record of sticking with working out. I know myself better than to do make huge declarations about getting into any sort of regular fitness routine. But, with all that said, I think I’m actually going to be able to get back into yoga. photo via Lululemon Here’s where…
I wanted to share an interview I did today with Meg Biram. On any given week I do between 25 and 30 interviews for other blogs. Because I tend to get asked similar questions, I don’t share them all as it would be a bit redundant and boring… but this one is different! Meg has…
I love sharing my favorite beauty products on here… mostly because I always LOVE the comments that these posts generate. I love researching and testing out the products you all recommend. (Confession: I still need to try out the dry shampoos you listed. I don’t think about it until it’s the morning of a day…
I have some pretty big savings goals set up for 2015 (2.5 x 2014’s savings), which means my spending has been reevaluated in a big way. I’m focusing on making better everyday choices (e.g. not picking up the extra nail polish I don’t need at every time I go to Duane Reade) for a better…
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
