Recently, I realized that we had not taken any family photos since our Holiday pics last year with Kat of Double You Photography. It’s always him taking pics of me and Lily, or me taking pics of him and Lily. And with the Wisconsin weather changing over, I wanted to get some Fall feels in our
Layers, Denim and Stripes… Oh my Fall is here bringing all the cozy feels, and of course, the fashion along with it! I love that time of the year when it’s just a little brisk and you can throw on a couple of cute layers, with no jacket needed. When I put this duster over
A couple weeks ago we did a Lauren and Lillian “mommy and me” session in a sunflower field and apple orchard with Kat of Double You Photography while we waited for daddy to meet us for family pics. So grateful to have some mother-daughter moments captured, as I’m usually the one holding the camera! I
After leaving the Isle of Palms, my very first stop in downtown Charleston, was a massage appointment at The Heart of Charleston spa. Nothing like working all those knots out of my muscles after a 15 hour drive and before another 15 hour drive. What a perfect start to a couple days of sightseeing in
Recently I took a trip back down to Chicago to visit the pop up experience The Happy Place. It’s basically a blogger’s paradise. Instagramland if you will. A warehouse installation with several different rooms full of fun and colorful photo ops! Obviously, I had to check it out before it’s last day, September 3rd, 2018.
Happy Birthday to me! Just had another birthday in late July and feeling fabulous after a some self-care. Almost every year for my birthday I request off of work and treat myself to a massage. Well, the requests off work a little differently now and a massage might not be enough anymore. Since I

This afternoon with Lillian was not the first, and I’m sure won’t be the last time that I’m the only mom at the park wearing a dress. Maybe I’m crazy for getting dressed up in mom life. Maybe I’m just a fashion fanatic. Maybe looking good just makes me feel good and love living in
When I heard that I new clothing boutique was opening up in our little village of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin, I was obviously excited and anxious for it’s arrival. I was invited to the opening party of Soho Boutique this Winter, where I shopped, sipped wine and tried on too many clothes. Since I’ve returned to
Recently I was invited by Pamela Kieck, Badger Liquor and Veuve Cliquot on a boat ride along the Milwaukee river. Anything that involves champs and chatting with my blogger babes is already appealing. But also while floating through the city on a Veuve cruise? YASSS PLEASE! So it was time for some pre-summer style to
To be honest, I’m not even quite sure how I became a plant lady. I’ve always been a nature-loving, tree-hugging, flower child. Spent a decent amount of my childhood climbing my maple tree and playing “Wilderness Family” in the backyard. My mom also had a fair amount of plants in out house growing up. I
Photography: Amanda Vick After a loooooong Wisconsin winter, we finally thawed out up here and Spring blooms began to pop up! For months I stared longingly out the back window wondering what my garden looks like and waiting to get my hands back in the dirt. I’d completely forgotten all that I planted and
