I'm obsessed with coffee. I can't get through the day without it and savor each cup. I usually have a cup and a half in the morning and sometimes a cup in the afternoon. I recently ordered a new Nespresso machine to keep at my desk at work. I never did daily Starbucks runs, but boy do I love Starbucks coffee. My drink of choice is a venti almond ...

Friday Five
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
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 ...
How You Can Have White in Your Home (Even with Kids) & Not Go Insane
scalloped duvet cover | banana leaf print linen pillows It never fails that when I post photos of our home on social media, I get the "how do you have XYZ in your house with kids?!" comments. Recently I saw a blogging friend get a comment on her master bedroom, which had a white bedspread and light-colored headboard that read "how do you have a ...
Lincoln’s Nursery Reveal! Gender Neutral Safari Nursery
View the full "In the Nursery" feature & my interview at ProjectNursery.com! When we moved into our (now not so new) home, I was about 8 months pregnant and finishing the nursery fell to the bottom of my priority list as we unpacked and settled in. I knew Lincoln would sleep in our room for the first few months anyway, so I put off finishing ...
Weekend & Some Home Updates
Hi! I hope y'all had a great weekend! We had a busy week with my mom in town for Lincoln's birthday party and christening (posts on that to come soon!) The last week was full of changes--- Lincoln turned one, I incorporated dairy and soy back into my diet and I'm working on weaning from pumping (down to two sessions a day now). I have a lot ...
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale- Home & Decor Picks
Confession: I didn't even know home items were going to be part of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. The deals are much better than I expected...I'm seriously tempted to order everything on this list, much to Kevin's dismay (especially the basket and pillows...and the serving board and latte bowls and pom pom blanket...so, basically, ...
Lately…
I hope you had a great week! Here's a wrap up of mine: O N E Pregnancy changes your body, face and hair. If you're me, it also changes your lashes. Something odd happens when I'm pregnant. I stop growing hair on my legs (literally only have to shave once a month, if that) and I start losing my eye lashes. They just get shorter and fall out more. ...
Cleaning House with Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes with Micro-Scrubbers
We moved into our new home last August, and I'll admit that staying on top of keeping it clean and organized has been a struggle since we had a second child. When I went back to work after my maternity leave, we decided that we would hire a cleaning lady twice a month and we would maintain our home in between her visits. With both of us working ...
Our Weekend…
Oh hey! It's 9 p.m. as I write this and both kids are (finally) asleep. Harper doesn't do naps on weekends often anymore and then she passes out on the living room floor before bedtime and wakes up and hour or so later in a mood that any parent of a nearly "threenager" can probably imagine. Harper and I spent some mommy/daughter time together on ...
