First of all thank you to Leven Rose for sponsoring this post! I turn 43 this month and there are some natural practices I wish I would have started younger. We’re talking about things to prevent facial and chest wrinkles, crepey hands, jowels and cellulite — yes all kinds of fun things happen in your… Read More 6 beauty tips to start before 40
There are so many great sales this weekend! I’m showing you all of my favorite finds at Old Navy, Target and World Market. My mother-in-law hasn’t bought any clothes for years. Years! I couldn’t wait to spoil her a bit with a little summer wardrobe, but I found so much more than that I made… Read More 3 summer wardrobe capsules
Do you have one of those friends who always looks like she just stepped out of a salon? Her makeup is flawless and her hair has never looked better. How do they do it?! I’m going to find out in this new beauty routine series, and the first friend that comes to mind is Stephanie.… Read More My beauty routine: Stephanie
I like to look put together but I’m too busy with my kids and projects to take time to think about it. My goal in this capsule is cozy comfy, with things I will wake up and want to put on. Not things I thought looked cute on the model while online shopping in the… Read More Wardrobe capsule: Comfort

I planned my suitcase carefully to avoid wearing those random clothes left in my dresser at my parents’ house from decades… Read More Preppy summer travel clothes
I’m one of those girls who loves her pajamas and has a hard time changing out of them when I’m around the house. It doesn’t help that I can’t leave my “adventuresome” two and three year olds alone for a second to get ready. I’ve had to answer the door twice in the past week in straight up pajamas — and… Read More Making it ok to stay in pjs all day
One day in the middle of last week, I parked the car in the store parking lot, and as I walked around to get the boys out, I stopped and looked down at what I was wearing: a beige and white striped shirt with greenish khaki capris. The beiges didn’t even match. I completed my… Read More Mommy Style Amnesia (MSA)
Traditionally, I have not been a great suitcase packer. I usually lay everything out, make my final decisions confidently, and pack it in. And then I add a little here. And a little there.
