Spring Staycation

It's not often that I get a little spring staycation of my own.  That's exactly what happened when the girls went to my parents house for a few days over spring break. Can you say hours of reading, no work, napping and eating all the tasty foods I love? So needed! It kicked off nicely with María José from Very Busy Mama and I spending the day at National Harbor to take in the sights (Oh, the waterview!), eat a fabulous lunch and have a bit of spa and me time at the Gaylord National's Relache Spa.   Two Bloggers + One Day= Total Bliss As María José is a fashion blogger too I knew I had to look good.  The weather was warm, we spent a lot of time by the water but I knew we were going to be spending a large chunk of time at the spa too. What to wear.  Easy, stylish and … [Read more...]

Spring is in the Air

Just when you think old man winter has settled in for good and may never leave you spot the crocuses you planted last fall making an appearance. Spring is in the air!

Spring Road Trip Style

*Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.  TMC was compensated for this post.  Opinions are 100% my own.    I love a good road trip.  Whether it is going down to the shore in the summer to visit my parents as a family or taking the girls on a spring break trip. That last one is my personal favorite because to me, spring means road trips.  A time when you can relax, take in some new sights, see spring in full effect and get a new perspective with all that fresh air. Naturally, I believe you need to look good doing it too. I'm talking spring road trip style. I'm in love with ModCloth and their romantic road trip style.  Think soft pastels, boho chic, buttery leather jackets, fabulous boots and flowered dresses.  It's so very spring and so very refreshing.  All of it … [Read more...]

Shades of Blue

We had some beautiful weather this weekend that made everything we did feel even more special. I felt the need to bring out some denim on denim and mix and match things up. Perfect layers for the windy moments and for co-hosting with Lauren at Fizz and Frosting! And we got out to support our oldest, TD with her first ever lacrosse game. It was so much fun to watch her play after doing many months of clinics and practice. Here's to a great week!

Marching to Spring

It's March! Can I get an Amen?! That's twenty days left until spring! Surely warmer days are just around the corner. They have to be because I'm so over everything in my closet. Does anyone else get this particular itch that feels almost physical each March? As a teenager I would get particularly moody this time of year and want to toss everything in my closet out and never see it again.  So dramatic! Now, I just want to pack away the boots and sweaters and wear my flats and sandals. No more layers, just bright shades of greens, yellows, pinks and vibrant blues. Mixing black and white look fresh and toes can show off their polish once again. Here are a few of the items on my must-have/want list for spring. … [Read more...]
