I get anxious a lot. Since having kids, it’s gotten much worse. I think all of the jugglings of the daily tasks has turned me into a much tenser person. This increased anxiety is not good for me, my kids or my marriage. It makes all of us stressed and on edge. This week, I…
You guys – this Boston weather has me desperately needing to revamp my fall wardrobe. I don’t have enough fall clothes, but I also don’t have a proper commuting wardrobe. Namely, I don’t have proper footwear. I’m in desperate need of booties for fall. Last week, I was wearing heels, and I totally wiped out…
I think I found the best multi-tasking recipe ever. This gingerbread cookie recipe works perfectly to make these gingerbread turtle thumbprint cookies, gingerbread crinkle cookies, and would also be great to make these funny gingerbread men or these gingerbread emoji cookies. You get the idea – I really love this gingerbread cookie recipe. Since I had…
Have you checked out all of the fall handbag trends yet? If not, you’re in luck. I did a bunch of research and found the best picks for 6 of the major trends this season. I’m in a bit of a handbag rut. In my 20s, I spent a lot of time thinking about, researching,…
It’s 5:00 am on Saturday morning. My eyes snap open as I sense someone is staring at me. It’s my two preschoolers, poking me, whispering in the softest voice, “is it time to get up mommy?” I want to scream at them, “go back to sleep!” but instead I roll out of bed, blurry-eyed and…
Can you believe Christmas is less than 3 months away? I can’t believe fall is already here and I have so much to do to get ready for the holidays. My family is coming to visit for Thanksgiving and we’re hoping to travel somewhere warm this Christmas season. Thus, I’ve already started testing out holiday…

[youtube https://youtu.be/QOVVs-P2viM&align-center&w=750] Everyone told me Rome was too touristy, too hot, too dirty. These comments were a good reminder that I should not care what people think or say because they were wrong. Rome was amazing. Sure, there were tourists, there were some dirtier streets and there were days that were hot, but the good…
I have a shoe addiction problem. Since we just moved, I had to buy three shoe racks to fit all my shoes, and my poor husband didn’t even get one. Although I do have a shoe problem, lucky for me, I already own several pairs that fit into the major fall shoe trends this…
Are you in a makeup rut? Personally, I know I am. I tend to stick to my 5-minute no-makeup look most days of the week. I hardly ever throw on lipstick or veer very far from my standard brown eyeshadows. It’s not that I don’t love trying out new makeup – I do! I just…
Who else is excited about pumpkin spice recipes? It’s the most pumpkiny time of the year! Now that I live in Boston, I’m really looking forward to the fall. It’s been more than 15 years since I lived in WI and could experience the gorgeous fall leaves. I’ve heard fall in Boston is gorgeous, so I’m…
One of my very favorite fall 2017 fashion trends is bell sleeve tops. Last week, I shared some of my other favorite trends, in case you missed it. 1. You’re Bringing Back the 90s, But in a Good Way I’ve liked bell sleeve tops forever. Do you remember that puffy shirt episode on Seinfeld? I…
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. Relocation is tough on everyone. Moving with kids is a particular challenge; both for you and for your children. Us grown-ups have our own hassles, but for kids, the process of moving across the country, leaving everything they’ve known, being thrown into a situation…
Now that I live in Boston, I actually have to think about fall clothing. Living in Phoenix, I didn’t break sweaters until November at the earliest. But our first week in Boston, it was only in the 60s (40s in the AM!), so let’s just say I need to hurry up and get some new…
Thank you, U-Pack for sponsoring this post. All opinions are my own. There are so many different things you need to plan and think about when you’re planning a move. Our cross-country move to Boston could have been very overwhelming, but I found so many great resources online to help me organize for the move….
