*This post is sponsored by PrAna.* Now that I’m 40, I’m trying to do things in my life with purpose. I’m trying to be present in each activity – be it with work, my family, friends. It’s so easy to try and multi-task at all times, but I’m trying to really be in each moment…. [Read More]
Fall fashion from prAna – essentials for a work-at-home mama
Six years ago, I quit my office job. I can barely remember the days of wearing “business casual” on the regular. Now there are days I’m still in my comfy clothes (ok, ok, PAJAMAS) at noon. There are days I’m in work-out gear the entire day. And there are days I actually shower, put on make-up… [Read More]
Fall and winter fashion for kids
I love fall fashion. Dressing in tall boots, sweaters and jeans makes me incredibly happy. Getting dressed is easy for me. Dressing my kids, on the other hand, during these colder months can be much more challenging. Take my son. Lover of athletic wear, shorts and sports jerseys. He’s not a fan of jeans or… [Read More]
Back to School Fashion with Target and Cat & Jack
This morning we hit up Target with the sole purpose of getting a reward for good behavior from the Dollar Spot. That was it. I bet you’re laughing right now. You knew that wasn’t going to happen. I mean, who goes to Target and only buys ONE thing? What distracted me? The new Cat & Jack… [Read More]

Kindness never goes out of style #fashionfriday
Parenting isn’t for the faint of heart. It pulls on your heartstrings, yanks on them and sometimes rips them out completely. Parenting can be downright painful as your children start to navigate the rough waters of life, learning lessons that you know they have to, but wish they could avoid. I want a lot of things for… [Read More]
My New Journey With KEEP Collective #fashionfriday
I did something totally crazy and out of character last weekend. I signed up to be an Independent Designer with a relatively new jewelry line (from the creators of Stella & Dot) called KEEP Collective. It started out so innocently. A friend announced she was doing it in early December and I told her I’d… [Read More]
Preparing for a new preschool year
And moms around the world rejoiced! Preschool starts next week. It seems like it’s been 100 years since my little miss was in school. With Labor Day being late this year, it’s put a hurting on both of us. She’s done with me and I’m done with playing Camp Director. Don’t get me wrong. We… [Read More]
Fashion Friday: Accessory Obsessed
This summer, I’ve been in a mood – a shopping mood. This is not a good thing as money does not grow on trees (or so says my husband.) So instead of spending gobs of money on clothes, I’ve been trying to get creative with my accessories. You can totally change up an outfit you’ve… [Read More]

A couple of months ago I was asked if I wanted to check out the new Rocksbox subscription service. For $19/month, you receive three pieces of jewelry based on a profile you fill out. You have the option of buying some or all of the pieces or you can send it all back after wearing… [Read More]
