Fall dresses have been my go-to outfit recently with this transitional weather, and as someone who loves wearing dresses year-round, I wanted to share some cute dresses you’ll want to wear all season long. Sleeveless Midi Dress // Brown Toile Dress // Flutter Sleeve Shirt Dress // Long Sleeve Wrap Dress // Paisley Long Sleeve Dress //…
We have some time left in summer (yay!). But it’s never too early… in my opinion… to start thinking about fall clothes. I love summer dresses and sandals as much as the next girl, but I really love fall clothes. Those days when you can layer a tiny bit without melting. Or walk around outside with…
I can’t wait to curl up on the couch with a book and a cozy blanket once the weather cools down! I don’t do a lot of seasonal decorating, but I am looking forward to incorporating a few fall touches throughout our home. I love decorating our front porch with lots of mums and and…
I love dressing for fall, but my growing bump makes it harder for me to feel motivated and be creative. Roundups like the best fall boots and best cashmere sweaters still have me dreaming of fall outfit ideas though…. so I thought it’d be fun to go through the archives of the past few years!…
I keep going back and forth between feeling like we have so much time for fall activities and then also feeling like we have to everything now because fall will fly by so fast! I also feel like my summer was spent mostly very sick with that first trimester morning sickness. Not that I didn’t…
Just as I was beginning to get comfortable in the kitchen, I started dating someone who is an excellent cook. Not going to lie, it’s amazing having someone cook incredible meals every day but it definitely made me feel like a loser in the kitchen. So I kind of stopped! But I definitely want to get…
I’ll admit, I’ve struggled a little to get excited about fall this year! Even though I’ve always looked forward to this season, I found myself holding on to every last minute of summer, trying to soak up all that it had to offer well after Labor Day. I think part of me is apprehensive about…
Since I knew we’d be heading out of town for October, I decided it didn’t make sense to decorate our home for fall this year like I usually do. However, it was still very tempting to bring home mums and pumpkins every time I stopped at the grocery store! One of my favorite things about…
With Labor Day officially behind us, the days of summer are numbered. The only thing making me feel better about the shorter days, cooler weather, and leaves falling is getting to rebuild my fall wardrobe. (Fall clothes do make me go weak at the knees! To kick off fall fashion, I’ve teamed up with
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!
Motherhood is pure JOY to me– nothing makes me happier than being with my boys! I wear my @haverhillcollection personalized jewelry every day as a symbol of my love for them– it’s a constant reminder for me of my greatest purpose. To celebrate my first Mother’s Day with TWO boys, I sent in my Haverhill necklace to add Rory’s birthstone and initial alongside Jack’s! I also got a second bracelet to stack with Jack’s. Love that this personalized jewelry can be altered as our family grows. Haverhill’s jewelry is designed to be lived in (perfect for busy moms!) made from solid 14k gold with high-quality birthstones so I never have to take it off to exercise, shower, or sleep.

We got a mama-approved family photo of the four of us 👏🏻 I wasn’t really paying attention to our calendar while in the end of pregnancy/newborn bubble and realized quite late that Jack had some time off from daycare and preschool this week. Mike and I quickly decided to book a last minute trip to Florida to visit my family and enjoy the warm weather ☀️
