I hope your weekend was amazing! My mom left to go back to Toronto yesterday afternoon and we spent a rainy Sunday at home. This upcoming week will be my first week since Lincoln was born where I'll be alone while Kevin is at work and Harper is at daycare. I was so fortunate to have help from family members on both sides for the past two weeks ...

Black & White Favorites for the Home
I love adding touches of black and white to both our home and my closet and I especially love black and white patterns to add a little dimension and interest to a room. In today's post, I'm sharing some of my recent (and not so recent) favorite B&W purchases. The first is this black and white striped light with tassel from the Emily + ...
Fun (DIY) Toddler Halloween Activities
If I'm being honest, my favorite thing about Halloween is candy. Everywhere. In massive bulk packages and in bowls on people's desks for the entire month of October. And don't even get me started on Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Yes. Yes to all of that goodness. Since I don't want my toddler as hopped up on sugar as I am the entire month, I try to ...
Baby #2 Essentials with buybuy BABY
When I was pregnant with Harper, I had the nursery decorated, clothes washed and everything perfectly organized awhile before she was born. This time around, things have been quite different since we moved in my third trimester and we've been so focused on getting the house together (don't even ask about the nursery--- thank goodness he will be ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I'm blogging from my favorite room ever right now--- our playroom. It's also the only room that has a TV right now, so... These next few weekends are kind of nerve-wracking for me. I feel a sense of "this baby could come at any time" which I did not feel at all with Harper. I still have my external version scheduled for tomorrow and ...
The Internet is Back
(our subway tile kitchen backsplash--- I've waited a long time for this!) After four collective hours on the phone with AT&T (don't ask, I can't even) and over two weeks of waiting, we finally have internet at the new house. This momentous occasion means I can get back to blogging! First of all--- thank you to everyone here and on IG that ...
Third Trimester To-Do List & Some Exciting News!
Happy Thursday! Third trimester to-do list: Wrap-up major projects at work before going on leave. Wash and organize baby clothes. Pick-up newborn stuff we still need. Move. We had talked about searching for a new home before I was even pregnant with baby #2 because our existing home’s layout wasn’t ideal for our growing family. We wanted to ...
Blogging Q & A
I've been blogging for nearly 6 years now (!!!) and every once in a while I'll get an email from a lovely reader asking me questions ranging from how to start a blog to how to grow it and work with brands, etc. I'm certainly not a blogging expert (I can only speak to my own experience) and there are many blogs wildly more successful than mine, but ...
Sweet Summer Salad w/ Raspberry Vinaigrette
We are big fruit lovers in this family, especially in the summer time (but really, all year round since it's pretty much guaranteed toddler food). I love ordering fun salads at different restaurants we go to and I always find myself loving the salads with fruit in them the most. I'll usually make a mental note or even jot down ingredients in ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! We had a new little friend join our family this weekend--- well, maybe he's not so little. We originally ordered it for baby boy, but as soon as it came, Harper declared it hers and the kisses and hugs were endless. The conversation went something like this: "Harper, look what we got for your baby brother!" "No mommy, ...
