Shoes are usually one of the first things I switch out in my closet when the seasons change. I got an unintentional head start this year when none of my shoes fit after giving birth to Rory in February, so I took it as an opportunity for a little refresh!

I can’t believe my first Mother’s Day with both of my boys is just 2.5 weeks away!! Now’s a good time to shop so you can get your gift picked out, shipped, and wrapped without any rush. It’s also crucial to shop early if you want to get something monogrammed– those shipping cutoffs are much earlier than the standard ones. I had such a fun time compiling this roundup of great Mother’s Day gifts. Some tried and true favorites, some new-to-me favorites!

When I was pregnant with my second, I knew I wouldn’t need to buy too many new things. I felt very well prepared equipment-wise and since our kids are 2.5 years apart, my toddler was fully out of the baby stage and, therefore, all of our baby items were totally ready to go for #2. Over the course of my pregnancy, I did make a short list of “upgrades” I wanted to make, mostly out of personal preference and not so much out of necessity. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY BABY REGISTRY MUST HAVES. One of the things that I wanted to get was a new baby carrier. I baby wore a bit with my first and loved it, bu ..read more

I know this is not a “timely” post given that Masters has already come and gone. But I cannot get this one photo from the Masters’ Instagram out of my head! I am obsessed with these outfits and think they’d be great inspiration for summer and beyond.

Happy Friday! This week went by so quickly I can hardly believe it’s already almost the weekend. Nothing too crazy– just a nice week at home. My favorite!! Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Halter Sundress Wow wow wow! Calling all brides… or really anyone who wants a stunning white dress this summer! This dress is absolutely gorgeous. Double bows on the back? Obsessed. It also comes in a few colors– loving the mint color as well. TWO // More-Salad-Than-Tuna-Salad… Salad I love a great tuna salad– it’s such an easy lunch. We’ve been really into tinned fishes lately too, so this ..read more

I have been on a big shirtdress kick lately! I truly can’t think of a more versatile silhouette. It’s something that works for my body in my postpartum era and is also breastfeeding friendly. I’m all about easy to throw on dresses, and the best part of a shirtdress is that it looks like you’re pulled together but with minimal effort!

Who here remembers my college graduation campaign with Kate Spade? It feels like a lifetime ago, and in a way, it was! I’d still wear that dress today though. I can hardly think of anything more classic to wear than a little white dress, and this time of year, there seems to be endless options for graduation and wedding season. I ended up getting a little carried away with this roundup of cute white dresses…. Make sure to scroll down for a lot more of them….

Had such a good week with the boys– especially this weekend. Getting out with both boys by myself was a major goal of mine and I have to say, I’m so glad I was on top of this fear from the beginning. I’m sitting down now to type this and realizing that I don’t even think twice about getting out and about with both. Mike was out of town for the weekend so the boys and I had ourselves a time! We went out to breakfast, played at the park, went to a train exhibit at a local museum. On Sunday, I took them to the gym with me (Rory’s first time!) so I could get a little workout– and quiet time for my ..read more

I realized I never shared these photos on here and it ended up being the perfect timing to post them, because there’s a relevant story behind them. One of the best parts about being a mom is getting to create all the fun magic for my kids. I love it. But…. I also think it’s gone a little too far. I hate to bring the energy of ~social media ruined it~ however i do think that’s the case here. The bar for “childhood magic” just keeps going higher and higher. You can’t just take your kids on a vacation, if you want real magic you need to pack a suitcase for them, wake them up and tell th ..read more

One of the highlights of this week was the eclipse!! I felt like because we weren’t in the direct path that it might not be super special, but it blew me away! Mike and I went outside for it and then a couple of our neighbors came over to watch with us and we were all in awe. I think my favorite part was how it felt like a community event… schools here were let out early and there was definitely a bit of a collective buzz around town. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Pickleball Backgammon How freaking cute is this pickleball backgammon set? I’m plotting my return to the game ..read more
