I so wish I was the person that had everything done and wrapped up in a pretty little bow by now. You know the people. Those folks who do all the holiday shopping before December even shows her pretty face. But if I were to be really honest, I don’t think that would be as much fun. I think I secretly enjoy the hustle of finding gifts as Christmas approaches. It’s part of the fun for me. And honestly, Serena & Lily is making it too easy this year. Everything sitting pretty on their shelves will make you look like the most stylish Santa around.

Holiday Gift Ideas: Beekman 1802

I don’t do a ton of beauty reviews on here because, honestly, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to how to do a perfect smoky eye or updo. I’m more of a throw some mascara (and under eye concealer these days) and go kind of a girl. But around the time we were trying to get pregnant, I am became hyper aware of exactly what I was using on my face. The more I researched, the more it became beyond clear to me that I needed to make a change in the products I consumed on a daily basis.

Food Styling: Holiday Baking

With the holidays approaching at record speed, I always get asked if I’m hosting any of the big events. And the truth is, I don’t host a single occasion around the holidays. My mom and mother in law have it all covered (and then some). It’s amazing in so many ways - particularly with a little one - to not have to worry about the logistics of a big holiday gathering. However, I keep reminding myself that I am hosting the entire season for Henry. All the little moments that lead up to the big occasions. And that’s where the magic really lies.

Ask Me Anything: September 2019

How hasn’t it changed?! It’s changed in almost every way. Not necessarily in a bad way though. Andrew and I always say that although it took us longer than we wanted to have Henry, in hind sight we are thankful for those years together - just us. We crossed off so many things on our bucket list in the first 14 years of knowing each other - that we never felt like we were “missing out” this past year. Instead we looked at it like a new adventure, and took advantage of the excuse to hibernate a bit. It has been kind of wonderful.

Fourth of July a Few Ways

Fourth of July might be my all time favorite holiday. It’s smack dab in the middle of summer, people seem to feel extra festive and I love how New Englanders truly embrace everything red, white and blue once July rolls around. Throwing a summer-inspired soiree just seems to be half the fun of celebrating this oh-so-important day, so I teamed up with Nantucket Looms to create three different looks for this year’s Fourth - from a seaside chic soiree, to a backyard bash with hot dogs and sparklers to the perfect beach picnic - we’ve whipped up something for everyone!

Mixed Berry Gin & Tonic with Barr Hill

We are finally getting some summer weather in these parts, and that just makes me want to celebrate all the things. Suns out? Celebrate. Made it through Tuesday? Celebrate. Actually made dinner? Celebrate. Perhaps I have a low bar, but summer is fleeting, and it’s time to make the most of it. On your mark, get set, go!
