GRWM for a day in the office. The funny thing about trying to build a spring and summer wardrobe is realizing just how many black tops you’ve accumulated over the years. Apparently, when left to my own devices, I will buy the same shirt in black over and over again. I’ve been making a conscio

GRWM for another day in the office. Another thrifted skirt! Paired with a simple navy tee and comfortable shoes, it’s an easy outfit for a day of commuting and meetings. Speaking of commuting…can we talk about how annoying it is that my commuter rail pass now relies on me remembering to charg

GRWM for a day in the office. I was a little too optimistic about my sunscreen application this weekend and ended up with a sunburn, so today’s outfit required a slight change of plans. The dress was my starting point, but I added a cardigan to protect my shoulders, stay comfortable, and make th

Some days, cleaning the whole house feels impossible. On those days, I focus on making a little progress instead. A quick tidy-up here, a reset there, and suddenly the house feels a lot more manageable. Clearing counters, putting toys back where they belong, folding the blanket that’s been livin

This might be one of the easiest organization projects we’ve done, and it’s actually making a difference. I started using clip-style shower curtain hooks to hang complete outfits in Teddy’s closet. Each hook holds a shirt and matching bottoms, so he can easily see his options and help choose wha

One thing I’ve learned as a parent is that you can never go wrong with a zoo trip. We spent the day exploring, checking out our favorite animals, and letting Teddy lead the way. Every visit is a little different depending on what catches his attention, but that’s part of the fun. Some exhibits g

One of my favorite signs that warmer weather is finally here? Touch-a-truck season is back. We recently checked out a MassDOT Touch-a-Truck event, and Teddy had the best time exploring all the different vehicles. From the 93 HOV zipper truck to the equipment used to clean tunnels, there was so m

What do I do for fun? Apparently the answer is: listen to early 2000s emo music, send TikToks to my husband from three feet away, garden like I’m 67 years old, and accidentally ignore texts for so long that responding starts to feel legally impossible. Also somewhere along the way “being in bed

I’ve been waiting for a real spring day to wear this outfit, and today finally felt like the right time!! Both the top and pants are thrifted, and I’ve had this exact combination planned out in my head for weeks while the weather kept refusing to cooperate. The second it looked remotely warm o

Advice needed before our road trip to Connecticut What are your car trip essentials when traveling with a small child? I’m trying not to overpack, but I also don’t want to be stuck unprepared halfway through the drive. I already know we’ll have snacks and train toys packed, but I’d love to

Pack Teddy’s bag with me for our road trip to Connecticut. I’m trying really hard not to overpack after the disaster that was packing for our Chicago flight. Turns out toddlers do not need their entire bedroom packed “just in case.” This time we’re sticking to the essentials: snacks, back

We had some expiring tickets, so Teddy and I took the train into Boston for a day at the Children’s Musem. Of course the train ride was half the excitement for him. But once we got there, he had the best time exploring every exhibit possible. I’m very glad I packed a change of clothes because Pe

We made the drive to Essex, CT for A Day Out With Thomas. It felt like the event was designed specifically for Teddy. Between riding the rails with Thomas, exploring the train tables, visiting the farm animals, and going on amusement rides, there was constantly something to do. Teddy was complet

GRWM for a day where I completely changed the outfit plan at the last minute. I was originally going in a totally different direction, but I really wanted to wear this skirt I got for Mother’s Day, so the whole outfit ended up revolving around it. I’m glad I switched plans because this feels

GRWM for a day that looked way better in Indyx than it did once I actually put it on my body. But we’re committing to the outfit anyway!! The top is a recent thrift find, and I really loved the colors together in theory. Sometimes the vision translates perfectly, and sometimes you just have to l

We’ve got approximately 700 DIY home projects happening at once, so today we’re tackling an easy win: swapping out the toilet seat for one with a built-in toddler seat. Mostly because I’m tired of the tiny potty seat somehow ending up in every corner of the bathroom except where it belongs.

GRWM for the office. I love when an outfit feels interesting without needing a ton of layers or accessories. The embroidered details on the shirt do most of the work here, and the green pants give it enough contrast. Best of all? Both pieces are thrifted! #thrifted #grwm #outfit #

POV: you start a “simple” home project and suddenly every layer of paint the previous owners ever applied starts peeling off the wall like it’s auditioning for a renovation show. #paint #painting #homeproject s #diy

I’m determined to make these chunky loafers work because I thrifted them, they’re comfortable, and I refuse to let a good thrift find sit in my closet just because they’re a little harder to style than I expected. #chunkyloafers #grwm #officeoutfit #Outfit

GRWM. Somehow managed to get paint on the bottom of these pants during all of our house projects, but we’re wearing them anyway because I refuse to give up on a pair of pants I love over one tiny stain. #oufit #ootd #officeoutfit #workingmom
