Life Lately


Happy Monday friends! Sophia is going to be 9 months old this week, which just blows my mind.  I feel like we’ve been going a mile a minute this last month and I thought I’d combine some of what we’ve been up to, purchasing and planning lately.  We’ve been having lots of mommy & me time. So fun to see Sophia exploring, learning and really coming into her own very strong voice!

 Back up daycare meant I got to sneak in a lunch with my lovely!

A few years ago I would do these 30 day challenges all the time and wanted to challenge myself to this ab one in May. Anyone want to join?

Yesterday we decided to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with these baked queso tacos that I haven’ made in years! Just as delicious as I remember! 


Netflix has been releasing so many great shows recently. I started watching “Dead to Me” & “Huge in France” – both are really good, but I’d have to say Dead to Me was a surprise I didn’t think I’d like. Also, if you’re not watching VEEP you absolutely should be. This is the last season and you can tell the writers are just putting it all out there! 


I scooped these perforated slip on sneakers up over the weekend. I had the exact pair in blush two years ago and wore them to death, so I was happy to get another pair. I think they’re going to be perfect for all the walking we’re going to be doing when we go to Canada later this month. 


If you’ve visiting Montreal or Quebec, please send your recommendations! 


My outfits have been super causal recently all thanks to the dreary weather here in Boston. I basically wear this vest with everything! I also haven’t cut my hair since right after Sophia was born and my stylist is on a medical leave! Such a stupid thing to even think about, but when you’ve only had one person style your hair over the last 8 years, it’s hard to trust someone else to do it! Perhaps I’ll keep growing it out!



Really excited for this week & the upcoming weekend! Hope the week is a great one and dry for us here!!

    Thanks for the Netflix recommendations! I was just saying to my husband the other day that we need to see what's new on Netflix. And yes to VEEP! It's our favorite show and we are so sad it's the last season. I can't stay awake until 10:30 on Sundays (haha!) so I haven't seen last night's episode yet. It's one of the only shows I can rewatch thousands of time and it never gets old. It's the best! Happy Monday!

    Your sweet Sophia just gets prettier every time I see a picture of her. I want some slip on sneakers so badly, but they are all too wide. That blush pair is super cute. Happy Monday!! XO

    Sweet Sophia! Love her new headband. I watched Zac Efron's Ted Bundy movie yesterday, SO good! I'm definitely adding in these recommendations to my list.

    Oh little Sophia is so cute!! She has the best smile. Thanks for the netflix recommendations, I need something new to watch. I get my hair done at Beaucage on Newbury St. I see Antoinette. She is AH-MAZING!! She has been doing for hair for over ten years! I think you would love her.

    I cannot believe how fast Sophia is growing and I'm loving all her headbands and bows!! Good to know about the Netflix shows, I took your recommendation on The Perfect Date movie and loved it! I may be late but I can join the AB challenge now since my travel has slowed down. That always throws me off daily fitness challenges.

    I feel like I've tried on multiple pairs of slip on sneakers and I don't like the way any of them look. it's such a let down lol.

    Doesn't time go even faster when you have a little one?! I swear, these past couple of years have been a whirlwind. Non stop every day and whenever I do have a spare moment (which is rare) I don't know what to do with myself, lol. Sophia is getting so big and I know that you're having more fun with her each time she's growing and hitting new milestones! I actually love your hair this long, it looks beautiful. I'm the same way. I've had SO many bad experiences with people cutting my hair the exact opposite of how I explained it that when I found my current stylist, I vowed to myself that no one else would touch it and that's been the case these past 6 years! Anyway, thanks for sharing what you've been up to lately, as I've been out of the loop lately getting closer to my due date! Have a great week ahead, my friend!

    Oh Sophia looks adorable.
    That ab challenge looks intense.
    We had gone to Montreal and Quebec when D was just one. We loved Old Quebec City..

    We're leaving for the beach in 28 days so I'm totally saving that ab challenge graphic and starting it today! My tummy could use some toning!
