It's Friday and I couldn't be happier! This week has really dragged for me. I have felt really tired, unmotivated and depleted, even though I've been working out everyday since Sunday. I don't know if it's a culmination of pandemic stress or the fact that I was not emotionally prepared for the last few episodes of season 11 of Grey's Anatomy, but ...
Back to School Style
This post is sponsored by Walmart. All selections and opinions are my own! Let's start this post off with a little bit of brutal honesty: our kids have worn pajamas or t-shirts and underwear all summer. I think the only time they ever wear pants/shorts is if we go on a walk in our neighborhood. Being home 99% of the time has led them to be ...
Friday Five
Happy Friday! INVISALIGN, PART DEUX I have the day off of work today and am finally starting my Invisalign refinement trays. I finished my initial 20-tray treatment months ago, but due to COVID-19, there were understandably clinical delays in getting seen again and having my teeth re-scanned. My refinement phase will be treating my overbite ...
It’s Olay Day!

Friday Five
I hope you had a great week so far! I had a four day work week this week and it was so wonderful to have several days off in a row for the July 4th holiday. It definitely left me feeling re-energized, but I'm going to start this post on a heavier note before I get into the fun stuff. THOUGHTS & FEELINGS We are still at home...all the time. ...
Why We Chose Unlacquered Brass Hardware for Our Kitchen
I love brass accents in a home. From lighting to hardware, to mirrors and framed art – I think it adds such beauty and warmth to any space. When our home was under construction, I knew I’d do brass hardware in our kitchen. I loved our polished chrome hardware in our previous home, but I thought brass would better complement our warmer white oak ...
How I Optimized Our At-Home Workspaces
During the COVID-19 global pandemic, many of us have found ourselves having to adapt to working from home. Our house doesn't have an extra room that could serve as an office, so we had to get creative, working within the spaces we do have. For the first few months, I worked at our dining table while Kevin opted for the couch (by choice - that's ...
Recent Beauty Loves
I wanted to share some recent product loves with y'all as well as some that weren't as great as I expected. You can watch my IGTV video here, but I also have this post that summarizes my thoughts! Peter Thomas Roth Acne Clearing Gel This was recommended by Kathleen Jennings and it's truly incredible as both of a preventative treatment and to ...

Caitlin Wilson is the ultimate destination for grandmillennial style and a blue + pink lover's dream! I'm actually building Harper this exact dollhouse right now (available here) and we are definitely going for a French blue and pink theme throughout! Caitlin Wilson is having a 4th of July sale so I thought I'd share some of my ...
What Home-Related Splurges Are Worth It? (And Where to Save!)
Deciding what to splurge and save on for your home can be tough. Because we move fairly frequently, I’ve always focused on splurging on things we can take with us – furniture, mirrors, etc. but there are, of course, exceptions to this. Below I will share my thought process on various categories and why they can be a spurge OR steal depending on ...
