my current skincare routine
A few people have asked about an updated beauty routine post, so here’s the first part of the series: Skincare! I have a very expressive face, my friends call it “resting nice face” (: , and I’ve got a bad (or is that good!) case of it. So I have a lot of expression lines […]
small kitchen updates
A couple of small kitchen updates that have made a big impact on me loving this space. I found this sterling silver champagne bucket at a thrift store, and knew I wanted to use it to hold serving spoons, etc. For mother’s day JB gave me these Aerin plates. Our everyday plates that were […]
Staycation at the Vinoy
As I mentioned yesterday, my girlfriends and I took a little staycation to the Vinoy on Friday. The Vinoy invited us up for a complimentary night to take a look at the new sample rooms. JB and I stayed at the Vinoy (and loved it!) about 5 years ago. I was newly pregnant, and no […]
My favorite thing to wear this June
Last Friday, Shannon, Heather, and I skipped town to go up to St. Pete for a night to celebrate Heather’s birthday. Even though we all live in the same area now, the time we spend together is often hurried. Well, if you call three-hour dinners hurried (; … but it always feels like never enough […]

summer is here and so are those pretty thunderstorms
Our first week of Summer! It rained for much of it, so we embraced it – indoor museums, playing in the rain, stomping in puddles, bug hunts, baking, movies, forts, gymnastics… I rarely mind the rain. Especially here in Florida because it cools it all off. And it’s an excuse to get cozy! As soon […]

Memorial Day Weekend 2017
Teaching a four year old about what Memorial Day is all about put it into perspective for me yesterday. The fact that I get to have this life, with all of these freedoms, is unreal.

Thift store finds
Yesterday someone said they loved my top, and because I can’t help myself, I said “thanks! it was only $10!!”… it’s like I am compelled to tell people how cheap things are. She said “I like it even more now!”… and I thought, that is the perfect response. I often share on instastories about my thrift […]
Suzuki Method
Tuck had his recital yesterday for Suzuki, and a couple people asked me about it over messenger on instastories. PS: I love instastories for giving me the opportunity to connect with so many of you. I hesitate to even write this post, because I really have such a rudimentary knowledge of music, much less of […]

is he a good baby
{photo by Jessica Lorren} I remember vividly people asking me just after both boys were born “is he a good baby?”… it felt like that question was asked a hundred times a day. I never really knew what to say… yes?? aren’t all babies just by being babies inherently “good”?? But I think what […]
