O N E This week was full of ups and downs and I’m so happy it’s finally Friday. In case you missed it, I had two stories I worked on run in the New York Times this week, which was a career highlight for me and incredibly exciting! I love working with our medical teams and patients to help tell these stories. You can read the first article here and ...

Friday Five
O N E I don’t know if it was the crisp 64 degree weather on Wednesday morning, but I had a sudden urge to decorate our home for Christmas. However, I will restrain myself until Thanksgiving. I’ve seen so many adorable holiday decorations lately...I love this colorful garland (and this candy cane one), these animal ornaments and these letter ...

door mat (c/o shop josie b) O N E Confession time: I took over a month off at the gym and…everything was fine! Right before we went to Disney, I paused my gym membership since I would be missing at least half of the month (originally Kevin was traveling to Orlando sooner, but we postponed due to Irma). When we got back, I reinstated my ...

O N E The week after a vacation is always all over the place. Between unpacking, doing endless loads of laundry, getting everyone back to their normal schedules and a busy work week, it’s been a long week for our family. To top it all off, I was/am having major issues with my blog/hosting platform and it has been kind of a nightmare (an expensive ...
Five Things
It has been a long week. I haven't been present in this space because I've honestly felt so overwhelmed and emotional that I couldn't write. I went back to work at the office (I had been working remotely before that) and getting back into that routine, while much-needed, is very difficult when there are so many people in our city who can't go back ...

Friday Five
Hi ladies and happy Friday to you all! You know it’s funny, sometimes, when I sit down to write my Friday Five blog post, I have a list of things in advance that I plan to share and some weeks I decide as I write the post. This week is one of those random weeks where I don’t have the entire post planned prior to drafting it, and I kind of love ...
Friday Five + A Makeup Giveaway!
Happy Friday! Don't forget to enter the GIVEAWAY in this post! O N E When I saw this door mat over a year ago, I was like “whoever created this is totally brilliant!” I was so into Fixer Upper at the time (still am) and this door mat couldn’t be more accurate, especially with how much we order on amazon and how much I wish we had shiplap walls ...

Happy Friday! This post is decor-heavy... O N E I love accessorizing our kitchen and so many of you loved this recent Insta pic so I thought I'd share the sources here! The recipe box is here, a similar cutting board is here, a similar tray is here and the salt & pepper shakers are here. You can also find an amazing post on kitchen styling ...

HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY Friday! O N E First things first, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts on July 13th for early access (July 21st it opens to the general public), and if you don't have a Nordstorm credit or debit card, now is the time to get one. Personally I have the debit card and I love it-- you still get the same benefits as the credit ...
