Blogging 101: 7 Steps To Get You Started
Okay, so we’ve discussed whether or not you should start a blog and the questions to ask yourself before you do. Now, that you’ve decided to move forward, what do you need to know? I’ve been at this for over two years now (technically three, if you consider tumblr), went in completely blind and have learned a…

One month from today, we move. Ahhh. We’re so excited, we can hardly stand it. I think we’re all really ready to go now- lots of talk from Lilly about the new house. Still, we’ll try to spend the next several weeks savoring the city, doing some of our favorite things and seeing some of our…
Read MoreOur Love Letter to NYC
There’s never been a city or place that’s meant so much. For me, that’s not terribly hard as I wasn’t a born and raised kind of kid. Unlike my husband and friends who still go back to the same hometown, are incredibly close with childhood pals, parents’ friends and have a real community to call…
Read MoreNat & Zach: Dishes
Zach’s washing dishes. Lilly: Daddy, what are you doing? Zach: Washing dishes. Lilly: Oh, I’ve never seen Mommy do that. Nat: Excuse me, I wash dishes all the time. Lilly: No, you don’t. You just say, “blah blah blah…”

When we first brought Lilly to our new home, it was still furnished and being lived in by the previous owners. The little girl’s room upstairs was big and pink, with a tent and every toy imaginable. My girl couldn’t keep her hands off of anything, sitting and playing piano, looking through the porthole window,…
Read MoreBumpdate, 26 Weeks
Well, folks, I’ve finally reached the pinnacle of pregnancy: The. Stomach. Shelf. I can effectively balance my cereal or pasta bowl on my bump and it’s glorious. It’s really the moment I’ve waited for. After all, what’s the point of this big ole belly if it can’t be useful? Beyond that, the baby is the size…
Read MoreNashville
Did you know that Nashville is now the number one bachelorette party destination in the country? Bye bye Vegas, Miami, NYC… It’s all about Music City. Since it’s almost wedding season, I figured it’s finally time to post my photos from my first trip there this past fall. To be clear, I did not go…

We’re mixing things up a little bit at our new house. The room that is traditionally used as/called the dining room is going to be turned into the office (and multi-purpose room: crafting, sitting area, reading nook…) because I work from home and will use this space much more than a formal dining room. And…

Last month, fresh off our trip to Alt Summit, I stopped by NY Now to help support my friend Brooke who was selling her chic ponchos for the first time to wholesalers. I went to say hello and help out, I ended up networking more than I did at the conference (so many good brands!) and…
Read MoreBaseball Bash
Loyal readers by now definitely know my bestie Brooke. She came with me to Alt Summit, inspired me to make this, throw this and is one of the biggest supporters of NNA not to mention Nat herself (Yes, I just referred to myself in the third person. Time for bed.). Besides Lilly, I think she…
Read MoreThe Cutest Kids’ Spring Shoes
Spring is (almost) here! These few teases of sixty and seventy degree weather on the east coast have made me- and my mini- giddy for a full season of being sock-less, bright sandals and fun colors. Lilly’s already stocked up although, after compiling this list, I’m eyeing a few more! Get your little one ready…
Read MoreChoosing a Baby Name
You know when things just align in your life? Little signs that you prove you’re in the right lane? At least that’s the way I choose to look at it. Instead of being bummed or frustrated that another blogger or site I admire has similar stuff, I’m flattered by the fact that I’m on target…
