Another day, another style challenge! Summer is definitely my most difficult season for dressing. It seems like it should be the easiest! I really feel like I should have this down by now. I mean, I always start off optimistic enough. Every single June, I’m like this is my year to wear cute dresses and…
As I started writing this blog post, I wanted to dedicate it to the new parents out there. Because holy crap if you’re a new parent. You are surely going through some big changes. You are definitely tired. You are probably hormonal. You are feeling accomplished and hopeful and well-adjusted one day — and like…
I originally found the Taking Stock list on the Meet Me at Mike’s blog. Thanks for checking in! Making: clothes! It’s really happening! Cooking: hard-boiled eggs… I don’t think that counts… Drinking: summer beer. Reading: oops… Wanting: simplicity. Looking: for anything to help us beat the heat. Deciding: on my next polish color. Wishing: some answers were a…
Before I talk about clothes again, I have to give a big old shout out to my dear husband today. For taking good care of me and the Stevie, as us two ding dongs ruined the holiday weekend by getting sick with a stomach bug. I mean we really messed it up. Paul and I had plans.…

I’ve been immensely discontent with my closet the last few weeks and I know exactly why. Hint: it’s never about the…
Summer is already upon us! Stevie is out of school and Memorial Day weekend is but a memory. Ours had its ups and downs and the down parts got me all sorts of anxious at the thought of our impending long, hot summer. So it’s time for me to focus on some other things. The…
Mom life right now is… sharing a bed with too many large creatures. Stevie always comes to our bed around 1am and Fergus is catching on too. They are either getting sneakier, or Paul and I are so tired that we don’t even notice. Mom life right now is… two short workouts a day —…
Alright ladies, so this might not be the sexiest Mother’s Day giveaway ever. But as someone who had a really hard time finding natural deodorant that actually worked, I am pretty excited about it! Smelling good certainly can’t hurt the sexy factor. First of all, please tell me you have switched to natural deodorant and…
Sometimes having a hip Tati who knows about the cool spots in LA really comes in handy! Yesterday I put on my cool mom pants and we hauled the kid to the Museum of Ice Cream. Yes, you read that right. Museum. Of. Ice. Cream. Who wouldn’t want to see that? And I knew it would…
