Trying to distract myself with @nmeyers home by my favorite @markdsikes in @archdigest. Ordered a similar striped ottoman for our family room (swipe to see) and want pretty much everything. It’s perfect.

Everything feels so heavy - traveling back in time 50+ years and taking away basic rights hits so hard. As a mom to 2 girls and someone with a soul I am not ok. Sending you all love today. Please vote.

I cannot believe how good this mess looks! We’re replacing the parquet with herringbone and adding a new runner. Swipe through to see the before. #homerenovation #staircase #oldhouse

Days like today aren’t easy for all of us. I suppose I’m used to it by now, but as someone who grew up without a dad, I want to share my story with those of you who need to hear it today. I’ve only ever shared that my dad isn’t in my life, and this isn’t the whole story, but it’s more than I’ve ever had the courage to share. I hope it helps someone today. 🤍

My parents divorced when I was a year old. My dad was involved with some not great stuff, and for our safety, my mom changed the locks and dropped me off at my grandparents house. He was in and out of my life when I was little - I barely saw him and when I did, he was extremely manipulative. I probably stopped seeing him in my early teens? I can’t remember.

He was not a good man. He was a sociopath and narcissist, and he was not safe. He had 4 kids and I was the only one he sort of saw - I know I’m better off without him. I miss the idea of someone who for me, did not exist. He’s been out of my life longer than he was in it. Sure, it’s sad, but I’m ok. I’ve healed.

If you’re feeling sad, missing your dad, or grieving the dad you never had, I’m sending you love today.

Grateful my girls won’t be able to relate to my story at all, and that their dad will *always* be there for them in every way. ✨

Even when you’re *so close* to the end, cancer has a way of reminding you that it’s still here. 35 days until her last dose of chemo. Her port removal is less than 2 weeks ago. But while in treatment, a fever means a trip to the ER, so here we are. 😕 I was sure these ER fever trips were over for us.

Since she’s on chemo, they have to check her labs to make sure she can fight an infection (she can) and have to make sure she doesn’t have an infection from her port (she doesn’t) or a virus (also clear).

She’s currently 102° but seems ok. Eating snacks and watching movies. Labs look good and she tested negative for c*vid so we should be cleared to go home soon. She keeps asking to go home because that’s where she should be. This is no way to spend a summer Saturday. And we’re the lucky ones in this cancer world. That’s what gets me.

I scrolled through IG for a moment and was reminded of our first few weeks inpatient, wishing we were home. Seeing families out living while we’re in the hospital. And it just makes me want to fight harder. We need better treatment options and a cure for these kids.

A reminder: Margot hit remission 2 years ago (as of tomorrow). It’s not cancer that she’s fighting or that ran her little body down. It’s the chemo. It’s life saving, but I know we can do better. Please consider donating the cost of a cup of coffee to help fund better treatment options for our kids. Because the protocol in place is what will be used for the ~ 45 kids who are diagnosed daily. I know you think this only happens to other people. I get it. I felt that way, too.

Our kids deserve so much more.

I own maybe 5 pairs of heels - my shoe “collection” (if you can call it that) is pretty small. But I just bought my second set of Hermès Oran sandals because after wearing my first pair nonstop for 3 years, decided it was time for a second color. I published a review of these iconic sandals on my blog. Link in bio.

Is there something big you’ve splurged on? What’s the best big (and maybe ridiculous but worth it) purchase you’ve made?

CLOSED! 🥳 We sold our house - 👏 to the best realtor in Chicago @conorpscanlon for getting us into this house before anyone else had a chance to snag it, and to finding our current home while it was off market. The man is GOOD at his job.

We are so grateful that the new owners are letting us lease it back for one more month. Need to pack, get Margot through surgery, and we’re off.

This home was the perfect place to start our family and will always be so special to us. Bringing our babies home, backyard parties, Christmas, and so much more. We did some WORK - bathrooms, new flooring, lighting, laundry room, landscaping, and fenced the yard. I’m grateful for the memories and ready for a new chapter.

The first time we drove up to this house I took one look and told my husband it was our home. We had to get it. Even though it wasn’t on the market, we found out there was another offer. I was so sad. We lost our dream home. But somehow, things lined up. Just one more week until she’s ours ✨🔑

Big changes are coming. Less than 2 weeks until this house is ours and 50 days until end of treatment. ✨ #oldhouselove #oldhouse #homesweethome

Nothing feels normal right now. But over 2000 of you sent emails the last 24 hours (see my stories). I have been completely overwhelmed (in a good way) with supportive messages. It feels like we are really in this together. 🤍

For the first time in a long time, we have plans with friends this weekend. My girls are currently playing with Polly Pocket and cracking each other up in the kitchen. Make the most of every day, hold your babies tight, and tell your people you love them. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend, everyone.

I know what it’s like to fear for my child’s life, and to spend years fighting for her to be ok. We are two months away from her last dose of chemo. She will have spent 798 days in treatment for Leukemia, but she’s going to be ok.

Except she starts kindergarten next year. We will have made it through cancer treatment, but the worry won’t stop. I will spend my days hoping she makes it home. She probably won’t be shot at school, right? I mean, statistically.

Childhood cancer is actually a lot more likely to happen than a school shooting. It happens to 43 kids daily) yet the government doesn’t fund childhood cancer research because it’s not profitable. Over 300 school shootings and no one will do anything about guns because they (and money and power) matters more than the lives of children.

We watch the news, feel sad, maybe donate something, and move on. We have to stop acting like this is happening to “other” kids and fight for OUR children. All. Of. Them. Call your reps. Do not vote for anyone who isn’t for gun control.

In 1996, 16 Scottish students and their teacher were murdered. The UK passed strict gun laws and there have been zero shootings since. Zero.

But America is the land of the free. Unless you’re a woman. Or a person of color. Or a child. You can’t get an abortion but you can *easily* get a gun. The same group of people who want to make abortion illegal because they value the lives of unborn babies won’t do anything to protect our kids from being killed at school.

This is how our kids are growing up. This is becoming normal. We cannot accept this as something that happens, and by going back to normal after yet another school shooting, that’s exactly what we’re doing. So please, make those calls today. And watch @sharonsaysso stories.

Our dining room is half empty but the sunlight and lilacs in the living room are… *chef’s kiss* and those sconces and woven tray are 20% off! Head over to my blog to shop my favorite #MDW sales!

Finally ordered sofas and an ottoman and am about to order a bunch of fabric (and am planning a facetime date with my friend @kiradaviddesign to talk about life and fabric because committing to fabric somehow feels harder than buying a house). Is it just me?
