What are you wearing for Valentine’s Day? Is it red? Is it strappy or strapless? Does it show a lot of skin? Not that there’s anything wrong with showing skin, but have you ever worn a completely covered up dress and felt just as sexy as if you’re showing a lot of skin? I have. That’s exactly why I’m planning… View Post
This post and living room design makeover is sponsored by Safavieh. All opinions are my own. Full disclosure, I am not an interior designer. I do not claim to know everything (or much at all) about home design. But when we left Boston, I knew one thing for sure – it was time for me to try. See, the majority… View Post
Last week, I mentioned how excited I am to have a lemon tree in our yard. I shared 5 of my favorite lemon recipes, and I’ve been contemplating what to make next. When I saw this glazed lemon cookies recipe, I knew it was something I wanted to try. I’m such a fan of a vibrant lemon flavor. I love… View Post
This post is sponsored by Chico’s. All opinions are my own. Polka dots – I love them. Just like stripes, polka dots are timeless. Did you know that today is National Polka Dot day? Well, me neither. Us bloggers, we research our key words and our headlines. After shooting this fun casual look for Chico’s, I realized it was very… View Post
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter” – Martin Luther King Jr. For a lot of Americans, MLK Day is just a day off of work. For me, it’s a whole lot more. See, these two kids of mine already experience racism and discrimination on a consistent basis. I’ve witnessed it. I’ve been… View Post
This post is sponsored by Furniture of America. All opinions are my own. When we left Boston, one of the first things I decided right away was that it was time to redesign my kids’ bedroom. My daughter was still sleeping in her crib that converted to a day bed and my son was sleeping in a hand-me-down twin that… View Post
Moving back to California, one of the things I looked most forward to was all of the produce. I had no idea that I would actually find a lemon tree, with ripe lemons, in my yard! The first day we arrived, my kids were super excited to see the vibrant yellow lemons hanging, very ripely, from the tree off of… View Post
My birthday is in January. The older I get, the more my thoughts on getting older have shifted. I hate having a January birthday for one major reason. It is way too close to all of the other major holidays, so it kind of gets forgotten. (Not that I need a parade for my birthday, but as a kid I… View Post
This post is sponsored by Apt. 98 and Manhattan Comfort. All opinions are my own. Choosing a sofa for your home is not an easy task. There are so many options that it can feel very overwhelming. I spent a lot of time online purusing different furniture websites, scrolling through my instagram feed looking at furniture pages, and then I… View Post
When we decided to move to LA in December, I knew it would mean some challenges. My biggest fear, aside from finding a place to live on super short notice, was changing schools in the middle of the year. My son just started kindergarten in September. He had his new friends, his new routine, so I was worried. My daughter… View Post
A few weeks ago, I realized I haven’t been putting my effort into my kids’ clothes. One of my good friends’ kids always look so stylish, so cool, and my kids always look, well, clean. The best I could come up with was clean and cute. Sure, they are cute, but their clothes weren’t accentuating just how cute they are,… View Post
This post is sponsored by Allswell. All opinions are my own. When we finally had all the details in place to move to California from Boston, one thing we knew was that we weren’t going to take our old beds with us. Although they were still in good shape, shipping several mattresses for my entire family, across the country, just… View Post
This post is sponsored by Box of Style. All opinions are my own. This is the second time I’ve received the Box of Style and it just keeps getting better. I loved the items in this box so much this time around, I wanted to give one away to my readers and followers. It means so much that you all… View Post
In 2018, I’ve done a lot to soul searching. Maybe it’s my age, maybe it’s that I’m mid-career, maybe it’s that my kids are entering school. I’m not sure what it is but it’s been a year of trying to figure out what I want, where I want to go next, who I want to be, and what type of… View Post
This post is sponsored by Nourish Foods Co. All opinions are my own. When Nourish Food Co. contacted me to try out their meals, I was dubious. I had tried some of those meal prep subscription boxes in the past, and I was always left underwhelmed. Although the idea behind those meal prep boxes is a good one – save time, make… View Post
