MOM UNIFORM / FALL WARDROBE PICKS
A few weeks back, I asked what you guys would like to see more of here on the blog and an overwhelming number of you asked for clothing/wardrobe picks! I’m the farthest thing from a fashion blogger, but I thought we would switch gears from all things design and decor to share a few fall…
FALL FINDS
Fall is officially tomorrow, but we’ve got a ways to go until it starts feeling anything like it. The weather has been absolutely beautiful lately – cooler temps in the early mornings when I’m taking the littles to school and then low 80’s by pickup, perfect for bike rides and last-minute stops at the park…
JULY/AUG (p)INSPIRATION
Hello, hello and Happy Almost September! I always have the best intentions to blog over the summer, but as soon as my littles are out of school, my focus completely shifts to them and, naturally, the blog gets neglected. Now that we are back in the school year, it’s time to dust off the laptop…
JUNE (p)INSPIRATION
A little roundup of some recent summer pins I’ve been saving as of late, since that’s currently my favorite thing to do after catching up on Yellowstone (also heavily obsessed!) This time of year, I’m pinning lots of scenes from the Amalfi Coast, cedar shake beauties on the East Coast, simple summer recipes that can…
TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR CUT FLOWER ARRANGEMENTS LAST LONGER
One of things I look forward to every summer is planting tons of flowers with my little miss and watching them bloom. The last few years, we’ve grown our share of summer flowers in pots which have resulted in vases brimming with summer blooms on every surface of the house – sometimes, we even run…
ON MY RADAR FOR SUMMER
Summer has unofficially made its debut around these parts and we have been loving every minute of it! The pool is open, we’re counting down the last few days of school and we’ve been eating dinner on the deck every night. Still waiting for the water temp to get above 72 before I even dare…
MAY (p)INSPIRATION
With the exception of all the coverage of King Charles’ coronation this past weekend (Will and Kate completely stole the show!), I’ve been rather uninspired by everything floating through my Instagram feed lately. Pinterest still reigns supreme for me when I need a design or decor fix and since we hit temps in the 90’s…
APRIL (p)INSPIRATION
I can’t believe we’re already halfway through April! Taking a mini hiatus from the blog had not been on my agenda, but I’m back with a roundup of recent pins to get moving on my posts once again. We’ve been having the most incredible weather and the kids and I have been soaking it all…
INSPIRED DESIGN: JAMES DOYLE DESIGN ASSOCIATES
I follow just as many landscape designers and architects on Instagram as I do interior designers and one of my very favorites is Connecticut-based James Doyle Design Associates. The firm specializes in beautiful and innovative landscapes that are as effortlessly beautiful as they are tailored and elegant and any time a snap of one of…
MARCH (p)INSPIRATION
I can’t believe we’re already into March; it seems like just last week we were getting ready for Santa and yet, here we are, covered in pollen and temps hitting the 80’s already! Right about this time of year, I get antsy for everything to green up; it just doesn’t feel right when it’s so…
ON MY RADAR
It’s that time of year when moody blues and lots of texture land heavily on my radar, so today I’m rounding up a few items I’m loving lately that check both of those boxes – beautiful block prints, rattan pieces and the chicest glass hurricanes (that have been on my wish list forever), to name…
INSPIRED: ENCLOSED SUNROOMS + MY TENTATIVE PLANS FOR OURS
A few years back, we toyed with the idea of enclosing the screened porch right off of our living room for a little more space for us and the kiddos. I love a screened porch but we would just do so much better with the extra living space year round. I wanted floor-to-ceiling windows on…
