How To: Wear Tie-Dye

While away this past weekend in New York, I had the pleasure of meeting up and hanging out with some fellow thirty-something moms.

The Tie Dye trend … read more

The Name: Harper Seven Beckham

As a mom of all boys, I have to admit, I was happy to hear Victoria Beckham was having a baby girl. I don’t know her. I don’t know her husband David (I know he’s a cutie pie, though!). I don’t know any of her friends. But… I was happy for her from an outsider-looking-in sort of way. Being a … read more

Easy, Stylish Summer Looks: Go Monochromatic

I’m always looking to share some easy summer looks that can be pulled together with very little thought.  I know what it’s like to be standing in front of a closet, staring at dozens of T-shirts, capris and sandals and thinking to myself, “OK… I have nothing to wear!” I’m constantly in hurry, trying to keep up with different schedules, … read more

I live in a walking city, so it’s likely that there’s a daily baby stroll (or three) to the coffee shop, the park and the bank/grocery store/post office in my near future. I’m excited about it—it’ll be fun, I think—and I’ve started eying the strollers in my neighborhood to figure out which one looks right for us. The result? I … read more

I make a really “good” PBJ, grilled cheese, pasta and chicken soup. Other than that, I’m kind of lost in coming up with … read more
