Every bride-to-be needs a closet full of white to prepare for all the pre-wedding celebrations that take place before the wedding itself. From bridal showers to bachelorette parties to rehearsal dinners, there’s a host of events requiring proper bridal attire. When my bridesmaids shared my bachelorette location, I got thinking on what I might wear and scouring my closet for what I already had. Surprisingly, for someone who teaches children, I own a fair amount…

A week after we officially started wedding planning, I found my dream dress. I had seen it online and once I tried it on in person, I knew it was the one. It was perfect. It checked all the boxes. I didn’t realize how many different things needed to be considered when picking a wedding dress. Sure, there are styles and fabrics you might like more than others, but if those don’t match your theme…

My mom got remarried on New Year’s Eve in a very relaxed, joyful ceremony. We had 15 members of our family together to celebrate and as I was driving to the hotel with my mom in the afternoon, she asked if I would put together her bridal bouquet. It’s surprisingly easy to build a beautiful bridal bouquet with nothing but grocery store flowers! If you’re a bride on a budget or simply looking to make…

When I’m not wearing outdoor work clothes (which is a lot) this is my New England fall uniform. I wish this was an L.L. Bean add considering their products make up half my closet, but alas.. I bought this barn coat for the colder weather of a New Hampshire fall. It has been perfect for recess duty (can you say pockets!) and it is the perfect, medium weight transitional coat. It’s a heavy duty material…

A few years ago, I was using rose-hip oil pretty frequently on my skin. I loved how moisturizing it was and how it faded any acne scarring I had. However, I never quite “bought in” to facial oils until now. I am sold on the Ordinary’s line of facial oils and for their price point, they are totally worth it. Full disclosure, I have only been using these on and off for about a month,…

Now that the weather is getting cooler, we can opt for outdoor activities and know we’ll head home energized and cozy instead of exhausted and sweaty. Fall hiking, biking, and adventuring are my favorite things. The summer heat takes so much out of me that once fall hits, I feel like I can just go-go-go. However, that means I need to be properly dressed. Today I’m sharing the best activewear for fall that I have…

Schools are releasing their reopening plans and while no one has really confirmed whether we’re going back, staying home, splitting the day, splitting the week, or simply giving up on education all together (ha, just kidding) there does seem to be one overwhelming consensus. If in school, teachers will be wearing masks. If you’re a teacher like me, then you have a closet full of professional clothes that haven’t been worn in the past five…

Fourth of July looks a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate! Whether you’re staying home, venturing out locally, or venturing out in your region, you need a really great outfit for whatever you’ve got planned. I’ve curated a few items below to accompany any scenario you may run into- heavy on the red, white, and blue. A Backyard BBQ – A Fun Graphic Sweater Keep things light and festive in…

May has been a wacky month, to say the least, but overall I’m loving the weather and looking forward to things getting a little bit closer to normal. There have, however, been a few things I’ve been relying to bring me joy during this odd season of life. I’m sharing them below, in case you need something new in your life! Composting We create so much food waste! Ryan and I have developed a great…
