Happy Thanksgiving to everyone living in the United States! I have been meaning to write this personal post for a while, but found Thanksgiving to be the perfect opportunity to share it. One of the biggest reasons I did not want to make the leap into becoming a full-time blogger is because of the crippling fear that I would lose site of my…
*This post was sponsored by Uber, but all opinions are my own. So planning a first birthday party felt a lot like planning my wedding. I had some friends who opted out of having one, because babies are not going to remember it anyway, but I felt like it was more of a party for Matt and I to celebrate the fact that we did this…
When we bought this home, I knew that the mint tile was here to stay. I also knew it couldn’t stay as-is – the sink was super retro and scalloped, and made the bathroom feel dingy and outdated. I wanted to brighten up the space by painting it white, and adding in an updated and more modern feeling white vanity. I was so excited to…
As I get older, and the years fly, I love using the holidays as a way to reminisce. When I was younger, I was excited for the holidays because I knew it meant getting gifts. With age, that has done a 180 – because now I love the giving part much more. Anyone else feel that way too? I like to find thoughtful and personal gifts,…
Growing up, my mom was not a believer in makeup (she still isn’t!) so most of you who have followed from years back probably recognize that I used to never wear ANY makeup. Not a hint of it. When I was around 25 and working in merchandising waking up super early, my co-worker suggested that I start using eye cream, and wearing foundation because I…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 Halloween is SADLY now behind us, which in my mind means we’re in the clear for holiday sweaters! YESSSS! One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from this whole blogging gig is to be ahead of the game on ordering your holiday looks, because as Christmas/ Hannukah get closer, the…
Most of you who have followed along for a bit know that I was never one to splurge on designer pieces for myself (I am still not!) I would much rather use the money to travel, find cute things to buy for Hudson or to just save that money! Buuuut, like most ladies out there, I do adore certain designer pieces, and dream of owning…
Sponsored by Zappos Trust me when I say it is difficult to get Matt in photos, and to get Matt excited about fashion (as I am sure most of your men feel the same way), but when I mentioned to him that I was taking some Blundstones out for a test drive, he couldn’t contain his enthusiasm. He literally has not stopped wearing them since,…
Swimsuit from ASOS I recently had the opportunity to travel to Mexico to check out Unico 2087 in Riviera Maya, and it was my first time leaving Hudson overnight (more coming on that later!) It was the first girls trip I’ve taken (with Noelle!) since I went to Mexico two years ago for a bachelorette trip. It felt GOOD guys. I felt like myself for…
I didn’t write this post ahead of time, because I wanted to write exactly how I feel in this moment on this big day, my baby’s first birthday. I never realized how meaningful birthdays were to the moms until I became one. He has no idea what today is, or what it means and I have been an emo lunatic leading up to it. Exactly…
Apple Picking at Seven Ponds Orchard is one of our favorite ways to kickoff the Fall season. We’ve tried other apple picking spots on Long Island, and this one is by far our favorite! We love how many different varieties of apples they have, and it is organized so well with signs on every row! There’s also sunflowers + pumpkins at the orchard too, and…
*Sponsored by Zappos This past weekend, we moved into our new home! It feels like it’s been a long time coming, since we actually closed on the home about a month or so ago, and we’ve been painting, finishing rooms and gutting bathrooms. There will be TONS more on this to come (promise!) but for today I wanted to share with you guys a few…
I love this series, and shedding some light on what goes into being a blogger with you guys, so let’s continue some behind-the-scenes action… Hey mamas, who else loves dressing up for “Linner”? 🍝🥗 Babies in bed on time ✔️ Mom & dad still get to eat out ✔️ I got fancy and ate some Linner at Phoenicia Diner in these perfect pointed…
HOW IS IT HALLOWEEN ALREADY?! Seriously! I remember Halloween last year crystal clear – sitting in my friends basement playing Werewolf, so pregnant I thought I was going to explode. Little did I know, I had a full 8 more days to go! haha! We are in the middle of moving, and I am a little sad that I didn’t get to check off my…
If I am being totally honest, we probably went to three pumpkin patches! haha! But Hudson was usually in the stroller, and we sometimes feel bad making this guy pose for photos. I remember how annoyed I was growing up when my parents would make me be in pictures, sooo I always have that in mind! But it was obligatory to snap some of him…
Fall is HERE my friends! It’s HERE, IT’S HERE. The second it gets here I’m like OMG it’s passing too quickly. It’s funny how life is like that – I guess it’s good that I am trying to savor the moments though. Anyway, I am so excited to be styling some velvet pieces today, because I am loving the trend this season, and basically want…
I’ve had the same conversation with multiple bloggers in the same week (Dany & Tim) and it made me realize it’s something I’ve been thinking about myself . Being an “influencer” or a “blogger” was once just normal people living their lives and talking about it on the internet. I started this blog when I was broke, paying my rent via Etsy and snapping outfit photos on…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 I’m not sure if I am jumping the gun here, but I am already thinking about what I’ll wear for Thanksgiving dinner. I absolutely LOVE thanksgiving, and I love dressing up for it even more! We’ll be in Miami this year, so I’ve been looking more at dresses VS cozy sweaters for the occasion,…
*This post is sponsored by Zappos, but all opinions are my own! This past week we headed to Woodstock & Phoenicia to unwind a bit, shoot some upcoming campaigns and peep some leaves. It is always my absolute favorite roadtrip of the year, and it’s one I always think back to until the next year comes around. I have to admit, it was harder with…
It’s so easy to become wrapped up in the minutiae of daily life, and as silly as this sounds, we have to remind ourselves to HAVE FUN, and celebrate the little things. In lieu of tons and tons of house projects that we accomplished this week, we decided to have a fun little day-date, Hudson in tow, for some good ole’ burger and fries, so White…
