When we bought our home, I knew right away that this A-frame attic had to be converted into a room. I’ve always dreamt of having an A-frame room in my home, I just didn’t realize HOW LONG it would take to make it happen! It was way more work than I envisioned, but in the end I am so so glad that we took the…
We are fans of being on the road. We’ve found that with Hudson at this age (18 months) it is easier to drive places, have the opportunity to leave if he isn’t in the greatest mood, and it’s way better for him than taking a train or flying. He has always been a carseat lover, and loves seeing the world go by outside of the…
To me, this photo perfectly sums up new motherhood. Striped tees every day, always multitasking and drinking way too much coffee, and taking a selfie in the few seconds your baby isn’t fussing. It is hard, I’ve been there, and I know it all too well. I had a really traumatic experience occur during/after my delivery that I never shared [and probably won’t ever share],…
I’ve been pretty open about the fact that we’re not thinking about baby #2 yet. To be honest, there’s a lot of reasons why, but one of the main reasons has to do with my own upbringing. I was the first child, and my mom was pregnant with my little brother by the time I was 6 months old. We are very close in age which…
Can you all believe it??? It’s been 365 days since I put in a two weeks at my 9-5 job. Until I dive into my first year, how it went, struggles and successes, let’s start at the beginning for those of you who are new around here. After a 5 month maternity leave from my job as Community Manager at the app letgo, I…
You might think we’re crazy for booking a direct flight to Hawaii from New York with an almost 18-month-old. Trust me, we did have our moments where we were like WHAT WERE WE THINKING. Before the flight Matt kept asking “are you ready??” like we were about to skydive or try something insane and brand new that was super scary. It is scary, you never…
After answering a lot of the same questions regularly through DM’s, I thought it would be a fun idea to compile them all into a blog post that covers most bases! So, here it is, all of my most frequently asked questions answered! How do you edit your photos for instagram? I basically edit my images the same exact same way every time using three different…
I absolutely love sharing the ins and outs of being a freelancer / full-time blogger with you all. As you guys know, Matt is a full-time freelancer for the film union in NYC, and I am a full-time blogger, so YUP we both freelance. It sounds impossible, but we make it work (in the most crazy way possible) and aside from the uncertainty of our…
The other day on instagram stories I shared a bit about a skincare product that I have been using and absolutely love. I mentioned that the product was sent to me to test out, but that the post was not sponsored, and I had a few questions about this. A lot of you were baffled that being sent a product doesn’t = sponsored content, so…
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 The weather is getting warmed and the new arrivals are getting BETTER! I am so so excited about everything I’ve shared above. So much fun rainbow coloring, yellows, oranges and pattern! The best part – it’s all under $100. I would take the leap and purchase it all asap, because…
Lately it feels like there is SO much going on at once. So much. But it never feels like it translates through instagram stories, because everything is always shared in small snippets, and sometimes I know from following other bloggers it can feel like they’re being secretive. Or even trying to dangle bait, so that we wait around and wonder what’s really going on (which…
The other night, as I sat on the floor of my cloffice packaging DEPOP orders with my dad while simultaneously answering DM’s on instagram, I started to read some questions I was responding to out loud. My dad stopped me in my tracks and he was like “WAIT – you answer all of the questions you receive?” He was shocked that someone can ask me…
I try to pop in with a ‘behind the gram’ post once a month for a little dose of reality, so here goes for this month!! It’s a MIRACLE, Hudson sat still long enough to snap 1 photo! ✨👏🏻 Since I’m his #1 fan I had to snap a pic of him in this adorable @Carters bear tee + share that Carter’s…
Something you don’t hear too many bloggers mention on their platform is growth, but behind the scenes it’s something that’s talked about a lot. Of course, engagement is very important as well (how many likes or comments your photos are receiving) in order to prove your “influence” to brands that are hiring you, but like I mentioned in this post, growth is what I tend…
The question I am asked more than anything every single day probably 50 times a day (lol I wish I was exaggerating, but it’s okay because that’s what I am here for!) is how I edit my instagram stories! There’s always fun new apps that come out and make it easier to create beautiful content for stories, but there’s 3 apps that I use the…
As a kid, you have all of these dreams. When I journaled in high school, I LITERALLY wrote about how I wanted to have a house filled with 70’s style shag carpeting, polka dotted walls and a retro VW bus out front that I painted myself. These were actual dreams of mine when I was 14. Then of course you grow up and you realize…
Before: Most people put an “updated” kitchen at the top of their home-buying checklist. I on the other hand put it on the bottom. I actually prefer an outdated, awful, disgusting, smelly kitchen because then you can A. rip it out, no regrets, and put in the kind of kitchen you’ve always dreamed of or B. DIY it, and know that it couldn’t possibly get…
If you’ve been following along on our home renovations, you may have noticed that the guest room that we just revealed has a bit of a nook off to the side. We were pretty tempted to forget about this space, or add a chair and call it a reading nook, but Matt fell in love with the privacy of the upstairs, and wanted it to…
I love posting one of these per month, and I thought Valentines day is a great day to get real with ya’ll! Here’s 5 things behind the images! Latte in a cone and polka dots kind of day ☕️🍦❤️ Post a picture of your favorite polka dotted look, tag and follow @MinnieStyle + add #RocktheDotsContest2018 in the caption, to enter to win 2…
One of the biggest hot button topics right now in the world of instagram is “growth.” I’ve personally always been very growth focused, especially when I worked as a social media manager. Of course you want to stay creative, post consistently and keep the quality of your editing and images high, but in my eyes growth is the MOST important thing, and if my growth…
