This week flew by! Is it just me, or did the holiday long weekend make everything feel like life was on fast forward for the remainder of the workweek?! ONEWorking from home during 9 months of the pandemic at my corporate job made me feel accustomed to it, but I'd be lying if I said I had a solid routine in place since I left my job. I thrive on ...

Friday Five
ONEYesterday was Harper's 8th birthday! We are so proud of our amazing, creative and sweet little girl! We went to Coltivare for dinner (her choice!) and had ice cream cake at home. I'm always asked for gift recommendations for girls Harper's age, so here are a few of the things we/family got for her: rock painting kit, Ivy & Bean books ...
Friday Five
ONEThis Sunday marks our 12 year wedding anniversary (also Mother's Day!), so Kevin and I are going on our first date night in over a year tonight (since he's now fully vaccinated too!) I'm really excited to eat at a restaurant just the two of us. It's been a long time coming! TWOIt's my first "official" week of starting to work for myself ...

ONEWe had such a lovely Easter last weekend - I'm so thankful to Pfizer and Moderna for making our family gathering possible! I wore this blue Swiss dot amazon dress - it's so gorgeous and comes in a ton of colors. I just ordered it in lilac too because it's the perfect dress for spring & summer! You can shop our Easter tablescape here. The ...

ONEI finally ordered this carpet and upholstery cleaning machine. I'm going to use it on our outdoor furniture and our main sofa! I'll be sure to share the results on IG stories. Our main sofa is in amazing condition, but after over 5 years, I bet it could use a cleaning! We do use waffle blankets on the bench seats of both of our sofas, which ...
Monday Musings
I missed last week's Friday Five, so we're doing a Monday Musings. I also want to acknowledge Martin Luther King Jr. Day today. Here are 9 ways you can honor his legacy. ONEIn mid-November, I shared that I went back to work in my office (no longer working remotely), and that caused a lot of anxiety for me initially, though I fell into a good ...

ONE I went back to work this week – I know that has surprised a lot of you – I was surprised too! We’ve always been told that our teams would not return to work in the office until there was a vaccine and/or positivity rates were low, but our entire building was told to report back to work. It’s nice seeing colleagues (wearing a mask and social ...
Friday Five
ONE It's beginning to look a lot like...Christmas! Look, I've never decorated for the holidays this early, ever. But 2020 is something of an oddity in all aspects and I decided I wanted to enjoy the greenery and sparkle a little longer. I'm changing up our tree this year to add this blue velvet ribbon (in Williamsburg blue) and some other fun ...
Friday Five
ONE This week was great- it's was second week back at work and things have been going really well! I start my new reduced schedule next week, which I'm really looking forward to. Your support, comments and DMs have made me more thankful than ever for this wonderful community. I have so much peace about my decision and it really feels like a weight ...
Friday Five
Happy Friday! ONE I went back to work this week after a four-week long medical leave and I'm so glad I was able to take that time off. It critically affected my mental health to rest, adjust to my medication and work on getting more mental health support. I remember when my initial 2-week leave was coming to an end, I was so anxious about ...
