Ted is starting school in a few weeks! This little baby is now big enough to go to school. That sound you hear is me both crying and laughing at the same time. How is it possible that I’m a mother to a school-aged child?! Last week I did his back-to-school shopping and had such a fun time picking out everything that he will need for the new school year. Backpack? Check. Lunch box? Check. Markers? Check. Even his mode of transportation, courtesy of his McLaren scooter, check! Since he’s going to preschool in our neighborhood, he’ll be able to ride his scooter to and from school without too mu ..read more

This past weekend we went on an outing to our local playground so Ted could test out his new McLaren scooter. Given that he’s three now, this is actually his first time having a scooter of his own. He’s tried out some of his friends’ scooters and loved it but we never felt like the time was right to get him one of his own. However, when McLaren generously reached out, I knew it was a great opportunity to introduce him to a new mode of transportation. As soon as his scooter arrived, he lit up with excitement and couldn’t wait to open the box and test it out. Luckily for me, it arrived in two p ..read more

I haven’t been on J.Crew for a minute but I randomly went online the other day and ended up with about 10+ tabs open of things that I liked. Granted all dresses but it’s just that time of year. However, J.Crew seems to have gone through another revolution in style and there are so many good pieces. I started following one of their creative directors on Instagram (@olympiamarie) and she seems to be a huge catalyst for this change for the better.  Since it’s a holiday weekend here in the US of A, J.Crew is having one of its massive sales. I managed to snag one of these dresses for over 60 ..read more

The internet finally broke me and I bought a Stanley 40oz Adventure Quencher during their last restock. In honor of the restock that is happening next week (May 31st/June 1st), I wanted to share my honest thoughts about the internet-famous cup. Turn on your JavaScript to view content Is the Stanley Adventure Quencher worth the hype? It’s known for being huge and all of TikTok is obsessed with them but is the Stanley Adventure Quencher worth the hype? Long story short, yes and no. It really depends on your lifestyle. The two biggest selling points for me is that this cup holds a massive q ..read more

Violet is coming to the end of the newborn stage. She’ll be three months next week and we will be moving out of the newborn/fourth-trimester stage. In honor of that, I wanted to share some of my favorite baby products for the newborn stage. Now for the giant caveat. All the “things you need when you have a baby” lists are mostly BS and a lot of it is personal preference (your and your baby’s). You don’t actually need that much for babies in the newborn stage. Mainly a safe place for them to sleep, a food source, and plenty of diapers.  However, these are products that made a significant ..read more
