Hi, guys! Happy Tuesday to you! On Saturday afternoon, our little family went apple picking at C.N. Smith Farm in East Bridgewater, Massachusetts and, as expected, we had quite the nice time. We visited for the first time last year, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much it had to offer. It’s definitely our go-to place for family fall fun now! 🙂 First up, of course, was apple picking. There were only a few varieties ready for picking (Macintosh, Macoun, Honey Crisp), but they were some of our favorites, so we headed into the orchard and got right to work! Of course, we needed to sample a few apples right off the trees! 🙂 Outfit details : BP Plaid Shirt via Stitch Fix // Jagger Ripped Ankle Skinny Jeans  ($40) //  Keds Women’s Double Decker Twill Stripe Jersey Sneaker ($45 via Amazon) // Cuyana Classic Leather Tote // Kohv Sunglasses ($20) On the way out of the orchard, Quinn and I snapped this photo. He really liked the idea of being a “good apple!” Haha...

On Sunday a handful of my girlfriends threw us a co-ed baby sprinkle aka a party to get together to enjoy lunch and cake. The original location at a vineyard was rained out, but Castle Hill Cider was so very kind to let us use their big event barn. The barn turned out to be such a perfect venue sheltered from the rain but with plenty of space for our large group and a dozen or so kids to run around. Sarah gave the shower a woodlands theme, which also turned out to be perfect for our barn setting. I loved her veggie tray owl! We had meatballs, veggie and cheese plates, pesto kale salad, mini sandwiches, a lovely barley and peach salad made by my friend Emily, and fruit. VIDEOS Plus chocolate lollipops my mom brought from Matthew’s Chocolates in Hillsborough. And the MOST delicious cake!! Locals if you’re wondering, the cake was from Foods Of All Nations , and they are my new favorite spot for party sheet cakes! We’ve used them for events a few times, and the cream...

Hi, friends! This photo below is definitely the definition of #momlife. Here I am sitting on the couch, trying to relax after a long day when Quinn climbs onto my lap and sticks his head in my shirt. It was a flow-y, criss-cross tank top, so I totally understand its fun potential, but, hey, personal space! 🙂 I didn’t even bat an eyelash, nor did I even realize what was happening until he had already made himself comfortable. I bet a lot of moms can relate, right? While I don’t consider myself self-conscious when it comes to parenting, I definitely had a very different perception of what was acceptable with kids before I had Quinn. Having a child really changed that – and now Mal and I basically just roll with the punches, no matter what happens and where we are, especially if we’re in public. And, my gosh, we’ve had some serious parenting doozies over the years! ⠀⠀ One classic moment I’ll never forget happened when Quinn was a baby, and we were out dining with some frien...

I’m turning 40 soon. And even though I feel better than when I was in my 20’s (yes, really), the subtle signs of aging have caught me by surprise… The other day I asked my husband, “Did I always have this wrinkle on my forehead?!”  And I couldn’t help but think… “Wow. I really am getting older” … even if no one else seems to notice. I now know more than ever that sticking to healthy daily habits is worth its weight in gold when it comes to aging gracefully. That’s why I start my mornings with lemon water…exercise…a green drink…and fit in as many superfoods into my diet as I can. This includes a few incredible health supplements. Truvani Wild Caught Marine Collagen  is the newest product in my arsenal that helps me look and feel my best. Why do I love it? Let me count the ways… In this video I describe what makes collagen so remarkable for health and beauty and why I created a Marine Collagen that I could trust:   Wondering how collagen can help you? You s...

We were so lucky to have Hurricane Florence miss us in Charlottesville. At one point they had her path heading here but then everything shifted south. It just so happened that my parents had plans to come up for a visit for Mazen’s birthday party and our baby shower, so they escaped some gross weather in North Carolina as well. We have yet to hear a report from Bald Head Island on the status of our house there, and it might be some time before anyone is back on the island to check on things. We had the weather news on all weekend following the storm, and the footage has been so heartbreaking to see. We were glad to have Grammie + Pea here though, and we packed a lot into our weekend together. They arrived late on Thursday, and since Mazen was with Matt, we all went out to dinner at Oakhart Social  for a rare double date. Dressed up to go out! We had a great tapas meals ending with this epic s’mores bread pudding. One of the best desserts I’ve had in a while! Towers of chocolate...
