Over Fall Break, the girls and I took a little road trip to Southern California, our third annual trip. This year, in addition to visiting friends and family, our itinerary included a trip to the Museum of Ice Cream. Our visit took place on the second morning of our trip. Which means, we had been in the car for a… View Post
As Halloween approaches, I’ve been posting a few throwback photos over on Instagram, and it occurred to me I never blogged about the girls’ costumes last year! I had suggested Frida Kahlo to Pumpkin the year before, but she declined. As the year went on, and she was exposed to more Frida items in museums and pop culture, and developed… View Post
For months now, whenever Pumpkin gets in my car, she asks to listen to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. As Halloween drew closer, I realized that would be the perfect Halloween costume for the girls. Truth be told, Pumpkin and I had actually settled on a different idea way back before the end of last year. But we weren’t… View Post
Our family’s favorite things to get at Trader Joe’s, all wrapped up in memories.
Last month, when we went to my hometown on vacation, between the four of us and my sister’s family, there were seven of us.

(You know in Steel Magnolias, when Julia Roberts’ character says pink is her signature color? Mine is yellow.) I also didn’t want to spend too much money, because I wasn’t sure how many times I would… View Post
For the next in my Four Ways series, we have the Lark Skirt, which I has been in my regular rotation ever since it arrived in my mailbox. When Lark Skirts launched last year and I started seeing them all over my Instagram feed, I wondered if I needed one. (The power of influencer marketing, haha!) I thought about it for… View Post
For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you may have figured out that I have two LuLaRoe Carly dresses and I wear them on repeat. I thought it would be fun to start a new blog series, “Four Ways,” and what better way to start than with something I wear so often! (Also, FYI, I plan to include other… View Post
