Ten years ago, I was 27, living in Los Angeles, and trying to figure out my career as a self-taught blog designer. It wasn’t the best time for me, and I found myself really struggling and stuck in a dead-end relationship with a verbally abusive sociopath. I hit a low …

I am so, so excited to finally share the big news with you! Yes, I am a cofounder. Again. And no, I am not leaving The Everygirl Media Group. This Fall, Anecdote will launch online and open the doors to its beautiful showroom in downtown La Grange, IL. As you all …

For the longest time, I stayed quiet, but not speaking out or distracting ourselves from what’s happening in our country is a privilege too many people don’t have. More mass shootings than days in the year, endless gun violence (something that’s so prevalent in my own city), and children being …

It’s not always easy staying on top of questions and messages on instagram, but I love connecting with you guys and always try my best. These Q&As can be fun but it’s a lot easier to put everything together in one post here (I’m a fast typer) vs. answering them …

Yesterday on The Everygirl, we published a piece on What the Abortion Law Means in Alabama and What You Can Do about it. In the article, we explained what’s happening and shared ways to help women in the states affected by these laws. My first post shared in instagram stories …

The clock strikes 12 and just like that, one year ends and a new year begins. It’s just another minute of another day, but it feels different. There’s so much hope, aspiration, and a desire to do it all. To make the most of the 365 days that lie ahead.

I'm answering your career, relationship, and motherhood questions! …

I’ve wanted to address this topic for a while now but never wanted to acknowledge how unkind some people can be when most of you are so wonderful. This post has been written, saved as a draft, and deleted several times over the past year but today, I finally hit publish. I’m …

Every year, when August 1st rolls around, I get all sentimental about my move from Los Angeles to Chicago. I write one of these posts every year because apparently I’m a huge sap, and because I love looking back at how much things have changed. Somehow, 8 years have passed …

All I ever wanted was to be one of those girls who had a really close relationship with her mom. I remember playing with my dollhouse when I was a little girl and pretending I was in some other (happy) family. Sadly, those feelings haven’t ever completely gone away, but …

Since it’s Valentine’s Day (I just rolled my eyes typing that – such a romantic) and I thought today would be a good day to share the story of how we met. This “holiday” may be my least favorite since I prefer white flowers to red ones, gummy candy to …

This may be the most excited I’ve ever been about sharing something with you and it’s definitely the most exciting thing that happened since we got married…in October. Ha. After months of keeping this secret and no, it wasn’t easy – it feels so good to share the news! We’re having …

You may have noticed that I’ve been a little quiet lately. This year has been nonstop. Going from planning our wedding in less than 7 months to our busiest season at work, blog partnerships, and getting sick a few times forced me to slow down. I needed a break from …

Whether you’re new here or have been reading for a while, there are more than a few things you might not know about me. Since I’ve gotten quite a few messages recently asking how Conor and I met (and I really thought everyone knew that story), I thought I’d share …

I’m celebrating another birthday this weekend. More specifically, I’m celebrating my 35th birthday this weekend. When I turned 30, I hit what thought was my scary age. Then 35 became the new 30 and I’m here and shocker – it’s not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. I …
