Happy 3rd Birthday NNA!
I can hardly believe NNA is three-years-old today. In many ways, it feels like so much longer because I’ve posted triple that, learned so much and come so far. Man, I knew NOTHING when I started. Some would say, I still don’t! To think back to that naive and green girl… It actually makes me…
Read MoreHow Motherhood Has Changed My Outlook on Blogging
I said I’d see you in September and alluded to/hoped I’d be back to blogging full-time but things have changed… When I started blogging almost three years ago, I was posting 5-7 times a week. I know, I can’t believe it either. With an infant! And I was freelance producing a TV show. I wasn’t…
Read MoreApple Picking Party
If you’re a loyal NNA reader, you know all about our Red Fox family by now. But, for those that don’t, in short, we did a Hamptons summer share three years ago (Is that all? Feels like we’ve known them for eternity!) when we all had one kid that was 1-year-old. We went in blind…
Read MoreNantucket
If you read my Insta account, you know I’ve been housebound (and hectic!) all summer so when I put out the call for guest bloggers, I was thrilled that an NNA reader responded requesting to do a few travel posts. First up? Nantucket, which has been on my list for years. After reading her recommendations and flipping…
Read MoreNat & Zach: Prince Charles
Zach: Boy, if you’re Prince Charles, you’re getting the raw end of the stick here. Nat: Why? Cause of all the Diana stuff in the news? Zach: No, because of the Queen… She’s just not dying. Nat: Oh my God. I’m pretty sure Charles is just fine. 5 minutes later… Nat: The raw end of…
Read MoreDirty Dancing Inspired Fashion
While the rest of the country was obsessing about the solar eclipse today, we were celebrating something else here at our house. It’s a big day here. It’s the 30th anniversary of one of my all-time favorite movies, Dirty Dancing. Call me cliché but, like most girls of my generation, I love it. The music,…
Read MoreThe Co-Sleeper That Changed the Game
When Lilly was born, we borrowed an old co-sleeper from my sister. It’d been passed down from her two sons and once we were finished with it, she used it again for her daughter. After four infants and ten years, it had to go so I was on the hunt for a new bassinet for…
Read MoreNew Life as a Mom of Two
The audacity I have to even write this post two months in… I’m setting myself up for the worse case of karma but a lot of you asked on Insta Stories how I’m doing, what mom of two life is like and if I think 0-1 or 1-2 was/is harder. So, here goes… I struggled A…
Read MoreDealing with a Decade of Anxiety: One College Girl’s Confessions
I first met Betsy (“B”) in Bald Head. She’s the cousin of my bestie Brooke and came on our girls trip to help babysit the kids. We immediately adopted her into our tribe. That weekend, she was much more than a kid wrangler. She’d stay up late with us talking about life, careers, hers all ahead…
Read MoreArtifact Uprising Baby Book
I bought Lilly a (really cheesy, generic) baby book four years ago. Four years later, it still sits in storage, untouched. They say the second child fairs even worse than the first. But thanks to Artifact Uprising, that won’t be the case for us! I love everything they do from prints to presents (calendars, framed photos) but…
Read MoreDIY Patched Kids’ Clothes
I’m always looking for creative things to do with Lilly at home so when I saw all of the pieces with patches this season, instead of scooping some (overpriced items) up, I knew we had our next project! We both had a great time selecting all the patches (we collected them for months, shopping in…
Read MorePregnancy Poop is the Worst & Other Things No One Tells You About
You get pregnant. You’re thrilled, terrified, anxious, excited. The congrats come in. Along with the advice. Lots of advice. Never-ending, unsolicited advice. Make it stop, please God advice. From friends, neighbors, strangers. There’s what gear to buy, apps to download, where to deliver, what (and what not) to name them, that you must (insert eye…
