Basic, Never Boring
What we’re obsessed with… Wanderlust Festival OB-SESSED. This was the most well-organized festival I have ever attended. It was the anti-Fyre Fest. From the ease of scheduling to the signage and shuttling, not a detail was missed. Aside from the pure organizational magic, the classes, workshops, and events were all killer, too. I yoga-ed, I…
Summer is in full swing and I’ve been fantasizing about lounging poolside, seaside, or lakeside sipping on a refreshing drink. While that won’t actually be happening for me any time soon… a girl can still dream. And, what’s better to fulfill my fantasies than a blog post chock full of delicious summer drinks. So, we…
I don’t love shopping, especially with the kids, but there is definitely something to be said for a little retail therapy every now and again. That is why it’s called retail therapy, after all, because it makes us feel better about ourselves. There is an undeniable therapeutic benefit in that. So, you may be thinking…
My husband and I sat down that night defeated. He poured us both a glass of wine and we looked at each other with exhausted eyes. This had become our nightly ritual. I drank more wine in the past week than I ever had before. We were in the thick of toddler tantrums with our…
What we’re reading… The Silent Patient This comes highly recommended by our contributor, Claire: “It’s really good. And I usually hate fiction.

I am somewhat of a late bloomer and recently became obsessed with podcasts. I had no idea these suckers could be so entertaining! Since absolutely no one at all has asked, I would love to give you my opinion about some of the best podcasts out there right now. Check them out and let me…
My parents were Amway distributors when I was a kid. I remember the laundry detergent and the toothpaste along with catalogs of household items. While my Dad is no longer actively marketing this MLM, 25 years later, he still stays up-to-date with his membership. That’s commitment and loyalty. Pre-internet, those companies meant leg work, inventory,…
Recently I attended a college, Division 3 lacrosse game for my little brother and I was appalled by the behavior of the parents. Screaming. Cursing. Threatening referees and players of the opposing team. Yes, grown adults were yelling threats at college players on the opposing team. I wish I could say this was just the…
I think that for my first 5 years of “momming” I made no time for myself. At all. I had two boys very close together; 14 months apart to be exact. I used to joke that I was pregnant for two years straight and I still joke that I haven’t slept through the night in…
What we’re wearing…I have been living in this yoga wrap. It is so comfy, like wearing a blanket. I love to throw it on to head to yoga class and then put it back on after class. It’s both casual and flattering. I prefer the grey but I may just grab up the black one,…
