Wedding Recap

My family and I spent this past weekend in Hudson Valley, NY for my sister in law’s wedding. Kayla and her new husband Matt made the most picture perfect bride and groom and put on a wedding that no one will forget. It was wonderful to see all of the details we have been discussing […]

High Five for Friday

Happy Friday, gang! We made it to Hoboken yesterday and today are en route to NY for my SIL’s wedding. Since my husband had meetings booked, the kids and I spent as much time as we could enjoying walking around town despite the chilly (or downright cold) weather. It’s funny how my son lived there […]

Road Trip

Today we’re on the road heading to NY to begin a weekend full of wedding celebrations for my SIL. Comfort is always key when traveling, but even more so at 32 weeks pregnant. I’ve rounded up what I’m currently wearing as well as some of what has been stuffed into my everyday tote. Reading material, […]

Orecchiette with Turkey & Broccoli

Today I’m sharing one of my latest go-to meals with you. I love this one because it’s relatively quick to prepare and covers all of the meat, veggie, pasta requirements of a dish that my family tends to enjoy. I found this recipe on Real Simple and made a few adjustments to enhance the flavor […]

Navy Layers

Thankfully this outfit works perfectly for maternity style, but I love the fact that it’s an outfit I’d wear during my non-pregnancy days as well. I do my best not to purchase maternity clothes that I wouldn’t buy if I weren’t pregnant because honestly, some of the styles are just horrendous. At the beginning of […]

High Five for Friday

Friday is here and I am officially exhausted. It’s been a busy week and having my son home for spring break (which meant no chance of a nap for me!) kept things interesting. I’ve also been making preparations as we get ready to head to NY next week for my SIL’s wedding, yay! Haircuts, dry […]

Coat Free

It’s exciting times when I can start to step outside sans coat! Granted, I still had to layer with a turtleneck, sweater and scarf, but the sun was shining and it was glorious. I just recently grabbed this scarf at Madewell and the light texture of it makes it perfect for spring/summer. It’ll look great […]

Some Beauty Product Updates

I realized that I hadn’t talked beauty in a bit with you all. The main reason is likely because my beauty habits don’t change all that frequently. For the most part, I continue to follow this routine which I discussed with you a while back. But there have been a few tweaks and additions. Let’s […]

Easy on the Feet

All I can say is thank goodness sneakers are so on-trend right now. These days when winter weather boots are not required, I’ve been drawn to either my Converse or these New Balance sneakers. Fortunately they don’t take away from my outfits, but on the contrary add to it. Not to mention the fact that […]
