Patio life is the life for me! Especially in a cute jumpsuit. Eating and drinking outside on gorgeous Summer day, in a great outfit with good people makes me REALLY happy! It feels like such a treat when you live in Wisconsin, or anywhere it’s cold for over half of the year. Give me a
Gregory and I were married at the end of August 2015, during the few months out of the year when the Midwest weather is nice and warm. (Full wedding post here!) Might not be a time to fly away to a tropical honeymoon. We wanted to wait for when we really needed a break
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
Brian Mattinson Photography Fun at The Pfister Hotel A couple months back, during an unseasonably warm Wisconsin weekend, some blogger babes and I booked ourselves a little stay-cation at Milwaukee’s famous Pfister Hotel. In the heart of downtown Milwaukee, this architectural stunner definitely stands out with very regal feels. Once inside, the amazing classical interiors
Two of all time favorite things in life are 1. Robes, I currently own 7, and 2. A spa day! I wear my robes a lot in mom life, but rarely have a spa day. So lounging in a luxurious robe at the best spa and salon in town was a slice of heaven! Recently,
Photography by Amanda Vick Creative Embroidered Denim at the Milwaukee Domes A couple weeks ago cabin fever was really starting to set in for this Midwest stay-at-home mama. During one of our chats, my photographer Amanda, a Wisconsin native, suggested we take a trip to the Mitchell Park conservatory domes. YES! Great idea. Upon entering,
I’m SO in love with my new Winter coat! You could say this was a Christmas present to myself. As my personal outerwear story is a tale of woe… After buying a bright yellow puffy coat in college I decided I wanted “pretty” coats and began my coat collection by charging a red wool peacoat
When Winter is in full swing and it’s freezing cold, all I want to do is stay as cozy as possible ALL OF THE TIME! Each year I buy and buy, sweater to cozy sweater. I feel like Sam of Quantum Leap, hoping that the next sweater will be the final sweater. The warmest sweater.
All pregnancies are different, from aches to pains to cravings to how much of an emotional roller coaster ride it will be. Maybe it will be, or already was, the happiest time of your life. Some women really enjoy every aspect of it. Maybe you’re emotional, anxious and cry while stroller shopping (Guilty!). As I reflect
