Brunch
The perfect cure to a late, fun-filled New Year’s night? A good brunch with great friends. One that includes a mimosa and bacon bar? Even better! I like to include personal touches at each party so for my Red Fox friends, I added a piece of apropos paper to an old tray to serve as the mimosa station…

My husband’s Texan. From Fort Worth (bored and raised, baby!) but went to high school in Austin, my in-laws met and fell in love there, Zach and I first talked about moving in together on a road trip through hill country and we have a lot of great friends who call it home. So it’s a…
Read MoreHilton Head
We’ve been going to Hilton Head, South Carolina for years as a family. My uncle owns a home there and some of my first vacation memories are from there. And Lilly’s first vacation, at 5 months, was there. So it was nice to go back with my crew (mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, nephews, husband and…

When my friend Brooke throws a party, it’s always special. She’s a former event planner and has such great style and taste but, knowing all of this, I was still blown away by her son Gray’s second birthday last month. It was the prettiest kids party I’ve ever seen. She had it at her local…
Read MoreBatik Blues
My new favorite printed pants are Splendid’s Batik Crocodile. They’re comfortable, chic, flattering and work with flip flops, sneakers, booties and heels. Pair them with a tank, denim button down or a sweater. So versatile and such a nice change of pace from jeans. On vacation, I wore them with a white tank, tkees and some beaded…
Read MoreLeisure Leaf
I cannot handle the cuteness that is this jumpsuit. When I saw it, I knew it belonged in our vacation wardrobe. And for $17.99 and fast shipping , it was! Sign up for ShopeStyle.it, head to Nat’s Instagram and like the photo of Lilly in her leaf print and the info will be emailed to you…

Read MoreSeaglass
New York’s newest (and prettiest?) attraction is Seaglass, an aquatic carousel honoring the fact that the area was the home of the first New York Aquarium (it closed in 1941). It’s in Battery Park, worth the trip and the $5 ticket. The grounds are gorgeous. Even the signage is pretty. A group of moms broke up and…
Read MoreNamegate: A New Way to Mom Judge
“Are you mad?” It was preschool parent orientation for the 2’s program and a woman I’d met merely weeks before rushed over and bombarded me with this greeting immediately upon arrival. As a new-ish parent about to send her only child, one whom was at home with me for the last two and a half…
Read MoreSchool Party
My little girl is going to school. I can hardly believe it. But more on that later. Let’s get to the good stuff! To celebrate, we threw a themed play date complete with lots of school supplies, frames for our first day pictures, cards for our teachers and notes for our friends. Sadly, a few of…
Read MoreHamptons Summer
Last year, we rented a house in the Hamptons for two months with families we’d just met (Plenty called us crazy but that’s nothing new!) and, in the process, fell in love with fellow freaks like us. But, despite the amazing time, we assumed it’d be a one-summer stint. After all, since then, two families…
Read MoreLuau
Some things just aren’t meant to be. That’s often the case for me. Things ever rarely go according to the envisioned. I have some epically bad luck, am a klutz, a last-minute, on-a-whim, passionate kind of person who seldom achieves the immaculate ideals in my head. But I’m not quite sure I’ve ever encountered a…
