There is a moment every December that I look forward to more than almost anything else: the evening my daughter and I put on our matching pajamas, make hot cocoa, and pile onto the couch like the rest of the world doesn’t exist. It’s cozy, it’s silly, and it makes the cutest photos. If you’ve…
Every year, right around the second week of November, I have the same wardrobe meltdown. The cute fall outfits I loved in October suddenly feel too thin, the mornings are frosty at school drop-off, and I’m standing in front of my closet wondering how people look put-together and warm at the same time. Sound familiar?…
The first time I baked Christmas cookies with my daughter, we had one warped pan, a roll of foil, and a whole lot of enthusiasm. Half the cookies stuck, a few burned on the bottoms, and we ended up eating the broken ones standing at the counter. Honestly? Still one of my favorite memories. But…
Raise your hand if your holiday gift list is already giving you a tiny bit of stress. Mine too! Every year I tell myself I’ll start early, and every year it’s suddenly November and I’m scrolling at 11 p.m. with a cup of tea. This year I decided to do something about it: a makeup-tool…
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…
