Latest & Greatest: All Things Spring

April 15, 2025

reflecting

I looked at the calendar the other day and realized that our kids will be out of school for the summer in less than 6 weeks (!), which also means I am about 7 weeks out from the anniversary of my achilles surgery after I ruptured it playing tennis. Working out and staying active is a large part of what makes me who I am, so this past year was a hard adjustment. When I had my surgery they told me that it usually takes a full year to be “back to normal” and I’ve felt every day of that so far. I went from being non-weight bearing for weeks, into a walking boot for weeks after that, to slowly adjusting to wearing a normal running shoe again. I really didn’t start walking easily until 4 months ago and my right leg is still much weaker than my left. But in the last few weeks – very slowly – I’ve been able to run a little more everyday. When I was able to run a mile comfortably I felt like I got a piece of myself back. Our kids are diving into spring sports and Cohen is actually loving running; the program he is involved in ends with a 5k that the parents and community can join. It’s been my goal to run that with him at a decent pace (he’s quick!) without stopping to walk. When we run it will end up being almost exactly a year to when I ruptured my achilles. It will really be a full circle moment.

At this moment I am just so grateful that I can walk, run, lift and do most of the things I love without giving it much thought anymore. I haven’t been back on a tennis court yet…but I will be, soon!

I helped my mom with this little half bath last year and it turned out so darling! my favorite thing is the sink; she found this square, deep basin sink and we needed to comeuppance with a base for it. We designed it so that the sink looks like it’s sitting on a marble slab, but it’s actually a wood base with marble trim. And wall mounted faucets are always my favorite. This one is on major sale right now!

I’m slowly pulling out my warmer weather clothes and I could not be happier. This blouse is so pretty and feminine – I love the shape of the sleeves and the wavy hem detail. I’m wearing my usual size but I probably could have went up a size. If you’re tall it will definitely be a more cropped fit.

I am so into anything with a drop waist lately. I think it’s a nice departure from all things empire waisted or with a ruched bodice. I linked a bunch that would be perfect for summer!

I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!

There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by There is a beauty and ease that comes with life by the sea, whether it be on northern or southern shores. Seashells are a quintessential beauty that are worn by living creatures, eventually discarded for us to enjoy or broken down to become one with the earth. They’re a reminder of the beauty of life and how powerful nature can be. And because of that, I think they’re a perfect addition to any room – no matter where you live!

We started planning and renovating this space abou We started planning and renovating this space about two years ago and I have a few takeaways now that we’ve lived with it:
- so glad we fit as much shelving into this space as possible
- storing our microwave in here is 👌
- I toyed with the idea of adding an ice maker in here…kinda wish I would have
- the wallpaper was the best splurge
- removing walls isn’t always the answer (we split a hallway in two to create this space)

You can read all about this project on the blog! Link in bio 🫶
