POSTS STORIES REELS

I started this page during a season of grief after suddenly losing my dad. I needed a creative outlet, somewhere to document the beauty in the ordinary (and chaos of raising 4 littles).

It’s evolved into a space about finding your style in motherhood, traveling with your kids, splurging on quality, and not waiting for “someday” to feel confident.

Thanks for being here and following along the way! 🤍

I want to get to know you too - tell me one similarity we share in the comments below!

I almost didn’t post, but here we go…

I lost my dad 2 years ago to a heart attack and navigating motherhood with the weight of loss and trauma has been the hardest thing I’ve done - and I’m still doing it. Motherhood doesn’t pause for grief. You still show up, even when your heart is breaking.

Save this for the days when you’re doing something incredibly hard. And share it with a friend that’s walking the same road. You’re not alone 🫶

Feeling reflective ✨

Not every outfit is perfect and that’s ok! Finding your style as a mom can be hard too! When implementing new styles and trends, make sure you still feel like YOU.

Rummaging around my closet and getting dressed everyday is a great source of happiness for me (and self care) as I navigate being mom to 4 littles with grief. It’s a fun creative outlet for me and I’ve loved connecting with all of you!

I’m still new here, but I’m having fun and I have loved meeting so many kind, supportive women (that also love to shop 🤭).

Defining my style is an ongoing journey - that’s what makes it so fun!!! Right now, I’d say I love classic everyday pieces with pops of color and don’t shy away from trends. I’m into color theory (though haven’t had it done professionally) and I do try to stick to colors that compliment my lighter olive skin, dark hair and green eyes.

Thanks for being here and excited to get to know you!! Coffee clinks!

My everyday outfit formula, with a little personality 🌸

Fun denim + an elevated cozy sweatshirt + clogs + a necklace. Easy, comfortable & still feels put together.

And these floral @mother jeans?! So good 🤍

Date nights lately 🤎

Tini time, good food & uninterrupted conversations with my favorite guy.

Take this as your reminder to book the sitter! This season of life is full, but you’ll never regret making time for each other. 🥂

A little outfit catch-up 🤎

School drop-offs, errands, church, a baby shower, coffee runs, date nights & everything in between.

Fall dressing is my favorite - give me good denim, fun layers & pieces I can wear on repeat.

Which look is your favorite?

Pumpkin patches, date nights, mahjong with my girlfriends, outfits I love, Bible study, football Saturdays, coffee and good eats, and making memories with my favorite littles.

Nothing extraordinary, just lots of little moments that make this season of life so sweet.

Lilly Pulitzer, but make it fall 🍂💗

Who says color is just for summer?! I’m bringing some of my favorite Lilly pieces into my fall wardrobe, and these two looks are making a pretty convincing case for wearing color year-round.

Hair appointment outfit 💇🏻‍♀️🤎

An Amazon cardi (because hair dye happens 🤭) + my favorite new MOTHER jeans + a fun bandana tote + velvet flats (an old Target favorite!).

A little high-low mix for a very ordinary Tuesday ☕️

Styling stripes for fall 🍂

A forever staple in my closet, especially this time of year! Three easy, everyday outfits I’ve worn this week.

Last night at Seven Hills was such a fun girls’ night 🀄️🍸

Festive fall cocktails, mahjong, and the perfect excuse to learn how to play! They offered instruction throughout the night, which made it such an easy (and fun) way for our friends to learn. And the pumpkin chai cocktail was definitely our favorite 🎃🤎

If you’ve been wanting to learn mahjong, this is your sign!! Seven Hills is hosting another mahjong night next Monday, October 12 from 6–8 PM, with instruction!

Save this one for your next girls’ night 🀄️✨

Making boo baskets for my 4 little Halloween lovers 👻🎃

I’m sharing everything I’m putting in it and some of my favorite fall finds for kids. Nothing too crazy - just a mix of fun, useful & festive things I know they’ll love.

And yes, I fully realize I’m doing this for the ✨magic✨ bc they absolutely do not need another thing 😅

Would you do boo baskets for your kids? 👻
