Celebrating my sister’s birthday in truly royal

Celebrating my sister’s birthday in truly royal fashion! 👑

What else for a family of Disney devotees than a trip to @showcaseus to see the dazzling new Snow White?

We indulged like queens at the concession stand (those exclusive popcorn buckets are everything, darlings!) and little Arielle was living her absolute best life with snacks galore in her plush lounge chair, celebrating her fabulous auntie.

The film? A divine update on a classic!

And yes, Arielle insisted Mummy wear the crown post-movie – too fun!

You simply must catch Snow White at Showcase! ✨

Fashionably Yours,
Kate

🎨✨ A dash of culture and a whole lot of color on our latest Mama and Mini adventure! ✨🎨

Stepped into the vibrant world of Van Gogh at the @mfaboston (sponsored by @bankofamerica) and oh my, what an absolute dream! 🖼️

From seeing the iconic Roulin portraits up close to feeling the famous brushstrokes in the incredible interactive kids’ section (genius!), it was the perfect stylish day date. Little Miss adored coloring her own postcard – such a sweet nod to Postman Roulin! 💌

If you’re looking for a dose of inspiration and beauty, you simply must catch this exhibition. Seeing masterpieces loaned from Paris, Amsterdam, and New York right here in Boston? Magnifique!

Don’t miss out! The Van Gogh exhibit is open NOW at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, but only until September 7, 2025!

Run, don’t walk! 😉

Have you seen the exhibit yet, or is it on your list? Let me know below! 👇

Sometimes, even when life looks good on paper, the

Sometimes, even when life looks good on paper, the shadows creep in. 😔

Yeah, I’ve got the amazing husband, the two beautiful, kind little girls, a great family, and opportunities that most would dream of. But honestly? Some days, the depression and anxiety hit like a ton of bricks. I get lost in online rabbit holes, or find myself paralyzed by procrastination. It’s like my brain is stuck in quicksand.

I know, I know. “You’re so blessed!” And I am. Beyond grateful. But mental health doesn’t care about your blessings. It just… is. And it’s hard when you feel like you’re constantly chasing that “something more,” just like my inner Little Mermaid, instead of being present in the beautiful “now.” 🧜‍♀️

Today feels particularly heavy. Maybe it’s the April 1st realization that Q1 goals didn’t pan out. (Thanks, Mom, for reminding me to focus forward, not back! ❤️) Or maybe it’s watching Arielle grow up way too fast, knowing kindergarten is around the corner, and feeling like I’m losing time I can’t get back. And then there’s Aurora, and the lingering guilt of missing her first year due to PPD. I’m trying so hard to build those memories now, but the past still stings.

And let’s be real, the creator life isn’t always glamorous. 💻 It’s hours of work, often for little reward, and constantly feeling like you’re not doing enough. The “free” opportunities that cost you time, effort and money. The lack of engagement. It’s discouraging.

This isn’t a pity party, I promise. It’s a reminder that we’re all human. Even when we look like we have it all together, we’re fighting battles no one else sees. I want my girls to know that life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. That it’s okay to struggle. That it’s okay to not be okay. I don’t want them to feel as isolated as I sometimes do.

So, let’s be kind to each other. Especially now. You never know what someone is going through. And remember, it’s okay to acknowledge your feelings, even when life seems “perfect.” ❤️

Celebrating World Theatre Day with the incredible

Celebrating World Theatre Day with the incredible Boston Ballet’s Winter Experience! 🎭

I was blown away by the four stunning ballets: Balanchine’s Symphony in Three Movements & Mozartiana, Yakobson’s Vestris (a personal favorite!), and Schreier’s Slipstream.

The Citizens Opera House was the perfect setting for such a powerful performance.

Bonjour, mes cheries! 🩷 I have been in touch a

Bonjour, mes cheries! 🩷

I have been in touch absent from the ‘gram and it’s all for a truly special reason. For the past six months, I’ve been completely immersed in a project that finally came to fruition last Saturday. It was the combination of countless hours, rehearsals, and a whole lot of heart: The Lion King Kids production! 🦁👑

We had two incredible shows, one I had the privilege of directing with 27 amazing young actors, and another directed by the fantastic program director, featuring 25 more talented kids. It was an absolute whirlwind, and honestly, it went off without a hitch! I’m so incredibly proud of every single one of them. ✨

i’m sharing a few personal photos with my family from after the show, but I’m intentionally not including any images or videos of the children involved to respect their privacy. 💖

Funny story: I never really envisioned myself as a teacher. Even the letter of a “summer off” couldn’t sway me. But this is my second year, working with these kids, and my first time stepping into the directors role (last year, I was the assistant director). And let me tell you, it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. 🥺

One parent asked me what I’d be doing with my Monday nights now that the show is over (Mondays were our regular rehearsal nights). In the moment, I just laughed, relieved that everything had gone so well and excited to reclaim my evenings. But, I’ll admit, I already miss those rehearsals! I genuinely miss teaching these kids and watching them grow. I’m crossing my fingers for the chance to do this again next fall. 🤞🏼

i’ve always struggled with being a “Yes” person. I tend to overcommit, trying to please everyone and avoid saying no. Over the past year, I’ve been consciously working on setting boundaries and saying “no” to things that don’t truly resonate with me. But I am so incredibly grateful that I took a chance and said “yes” to directing this play. It was a leap of faith, and it reminded me the life truly does work out for a reason. Sometimes, the most unexpected opportunities lead to the most incredible experiences. 🩷

Fashionably yours,
Kate
