Oh, Hello Fall! Even though we have zero landscaping (besides a fresh lawn) I still wanted to decorate our front porch for the first Fall in our new home. The stained wood truss and gable is my very favorite feature of the exterior of our home. It’s the perfect nook to frame my seasonal decorRead more

I went into TJ Maxx for absolutely nothing… and somehow left with a full bag. 😂

So naturally, I had to show you everything I picked up! A mix of home essentials and a few fun fashion finds for myself because TJ Maxx just has the best random treasures.

And I need your opinion… should I keep or return the chocolate brown purse? 🤎👇

Also, if you want the link to this cute Amazon sweater (it’s lightweight, perfect for summer, and comes in a bunch of colors), just comment SHOP and I’ll send it your way!

For years we talked about it, wondering if we should wait until the timing was better, the kids were older, or life slowed down a little.

But one thing we’ve learned is that there will always be reasons to wait.

So we stopped waiting.

Not because we needed a boat, but because we wanted more summer evenings, more laughs, more tubing, more sunset cruises, and more memories while our kids are still young enough to think spending the day with Mom and Dad is the best thing ever.

The boat won’t last forever, but the memories we make on it will.☀️🚤🤍

If you’ve been waiting for your sign… maybe this is it. 😉

Tag or share this with someone who needs a little encouragement to just buy the boat and make the memories now.

We saved the best surprise for our last day 💛

From the Baileys Harbor Farmers Market to a spontaneous trip to Cana Island, our final day in Door County turned out to be one we’ll remember forever.

The turquoise water, lighthouse views, and slower pace were the perfect ending to a weekend filled with art, adventure, and way too much good food.

There was still more we wanted to do, but our cups were full. So thankful for this grandma, mom, and daughter getaway and the memories we made together. ✨

Door County Day 2 did NOT slow down 💛

Art, food, small towns, and so many good stops in one day ✨

From Fish Creek and the Contemporary Art Fair at PenArt, to mosaic making with the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Wilson’s ice cream, Sister Bay sunsets, and ending the night back at the retreat. It was a full and beautiful day.

Stay tuned for Day 3 💛 The views will make you seriously question if we’re actually in Wisconsin!

Three generations, one Door County getaway 💛

After arriving in Door County, my daughter, mom, and I checked into the beautiful Bjorklunden Retreat Center, enjoyed an amazing dinner at Chives, explored Baileys Harbor, and wrapped up the night with pajamas, popcorn, and games.

Tomorrow: charming small towns, the Door County Contemporary Art Fair, and more adventures. Stay tuned for Part 2! ✨

Trying something new… and apparently becoming a lip liner girl at 41. 💋

One of the reasons I keep reaching for @merit T is because their approach to clean, minimalist beauty fits what I’m looking for these days. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found myself loving cream-based makeup so much more than powders. It blends beautifully, looks more natural on my skin, and doesn’t settle into fine lines the way some powders can.

I picked up MERIT’s new Signature Lip Liner and while I definitely need a little more practice with lip liner application 😅, I’m already loving how easy and forgiving this formula is. 

Pro tip: Go to Sephora and get color matched in person, then check MERIT’s website before purchasing… you may find a better deal or bundle. 😉

Are you a lip liner person, or are you learning as you go like me?
