a lovely living

Datenight at Dusk

When it comes to running the household, I’m the one that tackles all the nitty gritty details. Jack handles the big picture and I make sure meals are planned, activities are booked, appointments are made, schedules are followed, and toilet paper is in the bathroom ;) With all the details and busyness of life with […]

Father’s Day 2017: Gift Guide

I’ve been procrastinating on this post, guys! In my book, men are the most difficult people to shop for. I think the two main reasons for this is that they tend to be fairly practical and/or when they need something they buy it! Can anyone else relate? Well, with a little researching and a little […]

Pink, White and Blue

I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! We spent most of ours celebrating my oldest child turning….8!! I’m still stomaching that one ;) He chose to visit Lake Tobias, an outdoor wildlife park north of Harrisburg, PA that’s totally worth checking out if you’re anywhere in the area. Jack loved it, but watching my […]

T-Shirt Dress

Anyone else love a good t-shirt (or tank) dress? For those of you that are in my boat and are about to embark on an adventurous summer at home with young ones, you’re likely to be reaching for cut-offs and t’s or a basic t-shirt dress regularly. And if not, I’m guessing they’ll be weekend staples […]

Color Combos

After the long weekend it’s going to take me a day or two to get back into the swing of things…or maybe until Friday?! We have all the end of year school things happening so it feels as though our normal routines aren’t going to be so normal any longer. Until we get into the […]

Sale Time!

As we jump into the long weekend ahead, I wanted to quickly share some of the fantastic sales that are here to go along with it! We have plans to picnic, a 5K to run and a carnival that takes place in Boalsburg, PA, the town that claims to be the birthplace of Memorial Day. […]

New Favorites

I turn to denim + denim often and always love the easy, laid-back look that results. I found these jeans while I was on the hunt for a great summer jean and I have been wearing the heck out of them. They’ve been on Instagram but somehow I had yet to share them here on […]

Graphic T’s

I love a good graphic tee. I wear them year round, but they are especially prevalent in my closet during the summer. It may have something to do with the fact that less layers are necessary during the warmer months, but I hate having to sacrifice the cute factor of an outfit! These tee’s solve that […]

Styled with Noonday Collection

Happy Friday, guys! Today I’m styling a beautiful piece that I borrowed from my girlfriend’s Noonday Collection, isn’t it awesome?! In case you have not heard of Noonday yet, they partner with artisan entrepreneurs in vulnerable parts of the world and connect them to a growing marketplace. In turn, these artisans are then empowered to […]

One-pieces Under One-hundred

Memorial Day is nearly here which means the pools for all of us in the northeast are soon to be opening! I’ll have one trying out swim team this summer and one taking lessons, so I have my pool-side time cut out for me! That’s fine by me, though. I love spending time with my […]
