  • Mom motto 💬
  • Just call this the vacation of Amazon fashion 💁🏻‍♀️ I’ve found some great warm weather pieces lately like this $20 romper that feels like pajamas. Here’s the deets on it (do people still say deets? Did anyone ever say deets?): It’s a super soft lightweight fabric but not too thin. It’s definitely not too short (covers the booty and I’m 5’9’’ for reference) but if you prefer extra length you might find it too short. The cinched waist is stupid flattering. Easily dress this up or down. Also can be worn off the shoulder which makes it nursing friendly. Basically I’m gunna wear this all the time 🙌🏻 It’s linked in my stories or click the shop link in my profile and look for fashion favs and find it under Amazon.
  • That look when you finally understand what all the excitement about vacation is. #butfirstmiles
  • Anyone else plan their vacations around snacks? Just me? 🤷🏻‍♀️ This infamous citrus soft serve came with your choice of a combo of orange, pineapple, vanilla, chocolate, and lime. I went for 🍊&🍍 - what combination would you do? . . Also this dress was from a recent Amazon try on and it has served to be very comfy, breezy, and nursing friendly! 🙌🏻 Find it in the shop link in my profile.

  • Name your FAVORITE city, go 👇🏻 . . . I’ve been able to see some great cities all over the world, but NYC will always be my favorite 🏙. Sure, it’s kinda dirty, over crowded, and everyone is always in a rush, but I just have too many special memories not to love it. Plus it’s steeped in history, is America’s original melting pot, and it has some DAMN good bagels (which is very important to me, I take bagels very seriously). It was fun bringing Miles on his first of many trips to the city today, even if it was just a quick visit to Wall Street for a baby shower ❤️ #butfirstmiles
  • We are 1 in 8. . . I wasn’t planning to post about National Infertility Awareness Week (which is this week if you didn’t know) but as the week winds down I feel inspired to share my voice and bring ✨HOPE✨. When Michael and I struggled through pregnancy loss and infertility, we felt alone and hopeless. 1 in 8 couples struggle to conceive but we felt like 1 in 1,000,000. This battle is full of heartbreak, dark moments, isolation, tears (lots of tears and a lot more curse words), bloodwork, procedures, appointments, pricks, stabs, and pokes. Hope is all we had to keep us going. So if you’re struggling I want to say I see you. You’re not alone. Keep fighting. One day it will all be worth it when you hold your own miracle (whether through natural conception, IUI, IVF, surrogacy, adoption) and you’ll feel WHOLE 💕 and you’ll know then that the little hope you kept in your heart was all worth it. #1in8 #infertilityawareness
  • 🌿What does Earth Day mean to you? 🐿 Nature has always been an integral part of my life. The babbling brook behind our house was my best babysitter, the craggy coasts of Maine and the creatures in their tide pools were my friends, the shaded canopy of a New England forest was my church. In college I wrote my senior paper on the importance of wildlife in my childhood and how I think it’s vital that we don’t let our children lose connection to nature. Now as a mom, I think about this a lot. I want to raise children that are most comfortable with their bare feet in the grass and face towards the sun, who are curious about this world and have a desire to preserve it. . . My “I love nature, nature is my favorite” tank was gifted to me from a local business @cinderandsalt AND if you’re local to CT and go shopping at cinder + salt, mention my IG handle, and receive 15% off of your purchase! (This doesn’t expire!) And if you’re not local use EARTHDAYEVERYDAY on their site today, Earth Day, for 15% off! #earthdayeveryday #cinderandsalt #butfirstmiles
