Life has been super busy this past month and I realize I haven’t been too chatty on here. Oh sure, advice posts and a couple outfits thrown in, but little with what’s going on beyond the blog. Emerson’s enjoying kindergarten so much, and it’s crazy how much she has changed since she began school. She…
Last weekend, Karl, my sister, and our two friends headed to the Baltimore Shindig Festival 2014. It was the weekend before Karl’s birthday (the big 4-0 yo!), and the festival was featuring some pretty great bands that he and I both love: Clutch, Jane’s Addiction, Gogol Bordello, Fishbone, and more.

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of seeing Jack White live at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland. I’ve been a huge fan of his for a long time; while I never got a chance to see the Racounteurs, I did see the White Stripes (Bonnaroo 2007, festie recap here), the Dead Weather (Bonnaroo…

There’s three kids she’s already friends with in her class, and I know she’ll have tons more before the week is through. Her teacher is so nice and has a wonderful reputation. I’m a bit sad that my baby is growing…
As you Instagram followers know, this weekend I went to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for our annual Girls Weekend. Each August, me, my mom, my sister, and Emerson head to the shore for a weekend of sun and fun and created many traditions and memories over the years. What I Packed: Black LOFT jersey sundress Blue…
With my second arm surgery, I made a decision to reclaim my body. I couldn’t control what happened to my arm, but I could take control of the rest of my body and make changes to better care for it and improve my health and well-being. I didn’t want to throw myself into something I…
When I heard Queens of the Stone Age and St. Vincent were going to be at MPP, I was psyched. To many, these artists may not seem like a perfect match, but to me and Karl is was heaven, two of our favorites. And well, I gotta say Josh Homme is definitely lovely to look…
