There is nothing quite like the moment my daughter and I stand side by side in front of the mirror on Christmas morning, hair done, matching bows in place, ready for pajamas, pancakes, and about four hundred photos. Matching mother-daughter Christmas hairstyles are one of my absolute favorite holiday traditions, and the best part is…
Every November, my daughter asks the same question the second the leaves start falling: “Mom, can we decorate Thanksgiving cookies this year?” And every year my answer is a very enthusiastic yes. There’s just something about a kitchen table covered in sprinkles, little hands holding piping bags, and a house that smells like vanilla and…
Let me tell you a secret: some of my favorite videos were filmed on nothing more than my phone, a wobbly stack of books, and a very patient daughter holding a flashlight. If you’ve been dreaming about starting a channel but the price tags on cameras make you gulp, I have good news. You can…
Every year it happens to me the same way. One crisp morning I pull a sweater over my head, and suddenly my hair is standing straight up like I rubbed a balloon on it. Static, frizz, flyaways, and a dry, tight scalp: welcome to fall hair season. If your hair feels a little different now…
If there is one piece in my closet that makes me feel put-together without trying too hard, it’s the midi skirt. Fall is its moment: cooler mornings, cozy knits, boots back in rotation. But I hear the same thing from friends all the time: “I love midi skirts, I just don’t know how to style…
Thanksgiving morning in our house looks like organized chaos: the turkey needs attention, someone can’t find a sock, and my daughter is asking if we can “do our hair the same” for the family photo. Sound familiar? I used to say “maybe later,” and later never came. Now I have a handful of matching mother-daughter…
Let’s be honest: some mornings, washing and drying my hair is simply not happening. Between school drop-off, filming for the channel, and a kitchen full of baking projects with my daughter, my hair wash schedule often loses the battle. That’s where dry shampoo has become my best friend. But not all dry shampoos are created…
Every year, the first crisp morning of fall sends me straight to my makeup drawer. I am swapping out the coral and peachy glosses of summer and reaching for richer, cozier lip colors. And here is the best part: you do not need to spend a fortune to get them. Some of my absolute favorite…
Is there anything that smells more like October than apple cider and cinnamon wafting through the kitchen? Every fall, my daughter and I have a little tradition: the first chilly Saturday, we pull out our aprons and bake a batch of apple cider donuts. No deep fryer, no hot oil, no stress. Just a simple…
There’s a very specific kind of joy that comes from digging through costume racks with your daughter, both of you arguing (lovingly) about whether you should be matching witches or matching pumpkins this year. Halloween is one of my absolute favorite times to lean into the “mommy and me” thing hard, and every year I…
