Outfits 2-7 + Emotional Shopping
This past week on Instagram, I “confessed” that I had purchased a fast fashion jumpsuit. Not because I needed it, but because it was a day that I was feeling sorry for myself, plain and simple. I was pity shopping and it’s something I haven’t done in a really long time. Listen. Emotional shopping used…
99 Days of Summer Style
Remember when I used to write about style and capsule wardrobes and mom outfits and all things wardrobe and clothing related? Aaaah, those were the days! Sometimes I miss sharing about those things, but most of the time I just post to Instagram now. It’s so much faster and gives me all the fulfillment that…
Mexico City + Mérida: A Travel Journal
Mexico aaahhhh! I feel like I need to take a deep breath before diving into this post. First of all, I can’t believe we’ve been to Mexico City, Mérida, and back! What an adventure. It was everything I hoped it would be, and so much more. Of course it went by way too fast. Now…

Mexico City + Mérida Travel Planning
Did someone say Mexico? Why yes, yes I did. This year has been a big one for trips and celebrations. Not only did I have a milestone birthday, but lots of our friends are having them as well! Which really works out nicely for us, I must say. One of the bigger trips we are…
Stevie's Heart Procedure
Oh dear Lord, what a day! Frankly, I’m glad it’s over and Stevie is heading to bed. I was so anxious leading up to this procedure, but as promised, game faces were ON this morning. We were all feeling ready to kick some ass. Well, some of us more than others. Once we got into…
Sewing Therapy
Sewing has brought me a great deal of comfort these past couple weeks. I have been a big ol’ ball of nerves leading up to Stevie’s heart procedure tomorrow. And sewing has given me something methodical and time consuming to focus on so that my brain can steer clear of the dark and scary thoughts…
5 More Friday Confessions
January was several years long, and now all of a sudden it’s March!The other night as I dozed off, I dropped my phone right on my face. Paul thought it was much more funny than I did.I’m doing a “real model” shoot tomorrow for The Garment and I’m really excited but also really freaking out.…
