Have you ever found yourself in a season of life where it feels like everything is about to change in a big way? Because that’s where I am right now and it has me thinking a lot about what I want this next chapter of my life to look like.

It’s a beautiful, sunny day, and an otherwise ordinary one, which is something I do not take for granted. Two years ago, this day, May 16, was one of the worst days Two years ago on May 16, Margot was diagnosed with Leukemia. There’s a lot on my mind today …

It’s going to feel like summer this week, but if you follow anyone else in Chicago, you’re probably already aware. Spring was kind of garbage this year – so much rain and way too many cold days. I read that we had about 3 days of sunshine in 45 days.

It’s been a minute since I’ve done one of these posts, and so much has changed since early March. I usually share what’s going on in my weekly newsletter, so if you miss these posts, sign up here. It’s finally spring, we no longer have a nanny, and Kate has …

Sunday marked the first day of spring! And pause for shock – I love spring cleaning. This new season always inspires me to organize and style our home and closets, but more importantly, to look a little deeper at the ways I can organize my life. 🌷  I’m sitting in …

Hi! A surprise Saturday post since I wasn’t in the headspace to write one of these on Monday, and spent the week working on old content (more on that below). It feels like 11° outside, but after today, should be in the 40s-60s for the next week. I’m so ready.

The world is feeling especially heavy right now. We had hope that 2022 would be better than it’s been, but here we are. You’ve seen the images and it is just too much. These are real people. Families. Parents and their children. So we donate if we are able – …

I can’t seem to get over how quickly February is flying by. Every day is a day closer to normalcy for our family – to warmer weather and end of treatment! I’m feeling hopeful, but have had some moments, too. On My Mind This Week, 2.21.2022: Here’s what’s on my …

Happy Valentine’s Day! I am getting a very late start to my day today, so let’s get to it. On My Mind This Week 2.14.2022: Here’s what’s happening this week   Thoughts on changing/washing clothes after errands / before getting in bed Ok, so this is VERY interesting to me, …

I wasn’t in the headspace to write one of these posts on Monday, but I’m feeling better today after talking to a friend for over two hours last night. I needed that. There’s really not much going on over here – it’s winter, we’re isolated, and we spend all of …

It’s a new (big) week. The snow is falling and I’m working in the office with Conor. We had a slow weekend at home (where else would we be?). I cleaned and organized, baked with Margot, played with the girls, rented Sing 2 again, and Margot took her first nap …

On My Mind This Week, 1/17/21: A Big Launch, Isolation, and Thoughts on Where to Donate for Childhood Cancer Isolation and winter are starting to get to me. I know it’s hitting harder after a difficult treatment week and I know that things have been hard for all of us.

On My Mind This Week, 1.10.22: our nanny is back, clinic day, organization, what’s wrong with And Just Like That, paleo, etc.  Our nanny is back!  After over two weeks without childcare (17 days but who’s counting?), our nanny is back! She is one of the kindest, warmest people, and …

Another month has come and gone, and it’s been a big one. We closed on the new house, Kate is walking (and talking!), and it’s Christmas time, so we’ve been making lots of memories with the girls.  Here’s what we’ve been up to the last month.  Life Lately: The New …

It’s been a month and-a-half since my last life lately post. I’m aiming for one of these posts each month and just barely made the cut (how is Halloween already coming up this weekend?!). So here’s what life has looked like lately: 10 things that happened since September 10.  Life …

We had a fun and slow (but nonstop) August and early September. That’s life with a 1 and 3 year old. Lots of time with the girls since our nanny was off, a little fundraising, and shocker – some organizing and house updates. Here’s what we’ve been up to the …

Since my last life lately post, Kate turned one, Margot turned three, and my sister visited from California. I’m gearing up for another fall and winter at home, so I’ve been in organization and design mode. We’re making a change to our living room and some bedroom updates, too. I …

In an effort to continue to be a positive space that hopefully inspires and brings women together and with how much better things are with this pandemic, I’m bringing back a post that does just that next week! IYKYK. I’m also going to start sharing the good things that happened …

   I’m not sure where my days go anymore. After the last year, that feels like a good thing. We had such a nice weekend – it felt so good to spend so much time outside. It started with Margot’s ballet class in our yard followed by a playdate with …

Curbside pickups for salads, donuts, and Margot’s favorite chicken from Beatrix, a picnic in Lincoln Park, and lots of time together. As luck would have it, a rock cracked the windshield of my new car, but whatever – it’s just a car. Something that would have stressed me out a …

It’s Mother’s Day weekend and all I want is to get through Margot’s Steroids. In the past, Mother’s Day has been a tough day for me because of my very complicated and painful relationship with my own mother. Then I became a mom and with my new role came healing.  …
