I woke up this morning remembering how anxious I felt this time last year — we were on total lockdown, unable to visit family and unsure of how long the pandemic would last. Fast forward to today — most of our family members are fully vaccinated and we’re not far behind! I feel like we’ve finally turned a corner and can start making plans for the future. This summer is going to be one for the books! ❤️
My weekend “momiform” with a new @sezane sprin My weekend “momiform” with a new @sezane spring jacket my closet was sorely needing.

Among other things, the pandemic made me to re-evaluate my wardrobe - namely wants vs. needs. I realized my everyday staples were well overdue for an upgrade and the last thing I needed was another fun dress or top. This outfit is made up of all the unsung hero pieces I wear daily, but don't give enough credit to on my IG feed. Full look details + thoughts on how this past year has changed my shopping habits in my latest blog post. (link in bio) #sezanelovers

This weekend’s glorious weather took us to @blan This weekend’s glorious weather took us to @blandyexperimentalfarm AKA the State Arboretum of Virginia. This place has long been a favorite of my husband’s and mine (I think we first stumbled upon it when I was pregnant and have been coming back ever since.) It’s quiet, secluded and the perfect place for a picnic. My son and his bffs had so much fun climbing over rocks, running through fields, and exploring the mini bamboo forest. If you want to plan a day trip to this area (and I highly recommend you do), I linked a piece I wrote for @southernlivingmag many moons ago in my stories!
