Happy New Year, friends! As I kick off my first Five on Friday of the year, I’ve been reflecting on how refreshing it was to step away from my computer for a bit at the end of 2024. The holidays are always a whirlwind of magic-making—hosting, gifting, cooking, and soaking up family time. On top …
Five on Friday
5 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMASSSSSSSSS! But only 4 days until my favorite holiday—Christmas Eve! There’s just something so magical about it—the excitement, the anticipation, the twinkling lights, the traditions, the cookies baking in the oven… all of it. Christmas morning is wonderful, of course, but it flies by in a whirlwind of wrapping paper and squeals …
Happy Friday, friends! And happy MID-December!! It’s been awhile, so let’s do another high, low, buffalo this week! High: So many festive highlights this past week! Caroline wrapped up an incredible Nutcracker season last weekend, and it meant the world to her (and us) that so many friends and family came to watch her dance. …
Happy Friday! December is already speeding by, and I feel like I have so much to catch up on with you! Thanksgiving already feels like a distant memory, but it was wonderful having my family here for nearly a week. I thrive on “hosting adrenaline” when my house is full—up early making coffee and breakfast, …
Happy Friday! It’s been a great week and we have a jam-packed weekend ahead!

Saturday kicks off early with flag football at 7:30 a.m. and goes strong until 7:30 p.m., with both kids in tournaments—Caroline playing …
Happy Friday, friends! What a whirlwind of a week it’s been! With the kids home Monday and Tuesday, we managed to cram what felt like two weeks’ worth of activities into these few days — from playdates and sleepovers to squeezing in doctor’s appointments and everything in between. Somehow, it’s been both the shortest and …

Happy Friday! I thought re-capping the week with a high-low-buffalo was fun last week, so let’s do it again! We’ve got a fun and festive weekend ahead, and I’m so excited for all of it!

Happy Friday! This week has been busy with lots of little things that might not be all that exciting, so I’m switching up my usual intro and going with a high-low-buffalo (a fun tradition we do at our dinner table): In Case You Missed It I had plans to write several fun posts this week, …
It’s been such a crazy week around here and I am SO relieved it’s finally Friday. If you’re a longtime reader, you may remember that my entire family (literally everyone) lives in Orlando and it was a nerve-wracking week with Hurricane Milton. I am so grateful that everyone safely made it through the storm with …
Happy Friday! This week has felt so heavy, and my heart aches with all the devastation in Western NC caused by Hurricane Helene. It’s everywhere I turn — donations are being collected in our neighborhood/school/church/etc., my Instagram feed is filled with heartbreaking stories, and yet, amidst the sadness, I’ve also seen incredible acts of kindness …
Happy Friday! It’s been such a fun week of celebrations, especially because my mom has been in town! On Wednesday, I turned 38, and today, my mom turned 69. Over our birthday dinner, we each took turns sharing our high-low-buffalo for the day, and without question, my high was having my mom here to celebrate …
