Do you know the saying, “Don’t sweat the small stuff (and it’s all small stuff.”? The saying is a reminder not to worry about little things that don’t matter (and much of what people worry about consists of little things). Well, I am someone who sweats the small stuff, always. I am someone who suffers from severe anxiety and I have my entire life. When I was a little girl I would stay up until […]
Hey loves! I apologize for being absent for so long, but I’ve been incredibly busy and I haven’t felt inspired to write. I went from writing until three in the morning every night as a teenager to forcing myself to sit down, write, and blog as an adult. I love words, writing, and literature, but as a busy mama I have to remind myself that sometimes I need to just sit down, quiet the world, […]
Happy International Women’s Day to all of the badass women out there who’ve made marks on this world. To all of the selfless mamas that care for children (some of them without a partner) and raise the next generation of inspiring individuals, thank you. To all of the female nurses and doctors that keep us alive and comfort us in times of great pain with soothing words, thank you. To all of our favorite female […]
Life with My Two-Year-Old Life with a two-year-old is busy, tiring, and beautiful and I wouldn’t trade my days with Greyson for anything. Being a mama is an adventure, but keeping up with an active, growing, little man can be exhausting. I thank the universe for Greyson, his sweetness, and his smarts. He truly amazes me. I’m lucky enough to be home with him every day, which allows me to see all of the special […]
Downward Cycle of Popularity Not every brand makes it to the next generation and some are currently holding on for dear life as I type. A downward cycle in fashion means that the brand is spiraling downwards and losing its popularity and base. There are so many stores I adored as a little girl and as a teenager that are either closed, or on their way out. Henri Bendel, Juicy Couture, Macy’s, Abercrombie, and Forever […]
Introduction Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved fashion, styling, and shopping. I vividly remember crying over a cheetah print coat at Target when I was a little girl. I wanted a Barbie set and the coat, but my dad told me I had to pick between the two (a huge decision for a five year old), because they were both pricey. I took a moment to think about what I really wanted. […]
#ValentinesDayChallenge just in time for Valentine’s Day! I decided to post this to my blog and then to social media, because it’s just too cute not to share with my readers. By the way, Andrew and I aren’t obsessed with V day, but we always spoil each other and wind up having an amazing time. This year, due to COVID and being extra careful, we’re ordering Italian food from a favorite restaurant and staying in […]
Creating a Zen Workspace at Home I’m a firm believer in everyone having a desk in their home and a zen workspace. If you have a space designated for creativity and inspiration you’ll have better, clearer ideas and you’ll feel more focused. Whether you work from home, go to school, love to write, mail letters to friends and family, or you’re a designer, a desk space is a must. After the past year, so many […]
Hi, loves! I hope everyone woke up on Christmas morning feeling blessed and grateful. I know that I did. As I always say, Christmas isn’t about what’s under the tree…it’s about whose gathered around it. Of course, COVID-19 has changed our world immensely and many of us played it safe this year, only celebrating with immediate family. Andrew, Greyson, and I spent Christmas Eve at home and Christmas Day we woke up, opened gifts, and […]
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I’m posting a day early, because tomorrow I’ll be busy and spending the day with my family. I’ll be drinking wine, eating good food, and soaking in one of my favorite holidays. Besides taking photos, I won’t be on my phone very much. I know that this year is different than years past, but I’m more thankful than ever for what I have and who I have. Ever since I was a […]
