How it started vs. How it’s going. 🎒✨

I really thought I had it in the bag. I walked into that kindergarten graduation in my oversized sunglasses, feeling incredibly proud that I hadn’t shed a single tear. I was holding it together beautifully.

Then came the bait and switch. They started gentle with the classics—a sweet little rendition of “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”—everyone’s smiling, everything is chic and fine. But then they pulled out a song that absolutely ruined me. Cue the waterworks and RIP to my perfectly winged eyeliner.

I cannot believe my baby girl just walked back through the door on her very last day of Kindergarten. A piece of my heart is definitely mourning the end of the “baby time” chapter and all the sweetness that came with those tiny years.

But honestly? The overwhelming feeling is excitement, because I get her now. We are officially entering the big kid era, and my itinerary is overflowing with plans. We’ve got bags to pack, new places to see, and so many adventures lined up for the weeks ahead.

Grab your sunnies, baby girl. The summer tour begins now. ✈️🥂🚕

To my favorite co-pilot, Alex. Being a girl dad to Arielle and Aurora isn’t for the faint of heart, but you handle the beautiful, loud, and fiercely pink chaos of our lives like a professional.

Thank you for hauling the ungodly amount of luggage, negotiating with toddlers like a seasoned diplomat, and keeping the travel itinerary moving forward while I secure the champagne.

Happy Father’s Day to you, and to all the adventurous dads out there whose idea of a wild weekend seamlessly transitioned from late nights downtown to navigating strollers across historic cobblestones.

Cheers to the guys who carry the weekender bags, embrace the grit, and still know how to make the ride an absolute blast.

Taking Aurora to her very first movie theater experience to see Toy Story 5 at @showcaseus Woburn was everything.

From the exclusive merch (those blankets and thermoses!) to the luxe seats and the post-movie arcade games, Showcase makes the whole day feel like an event. We laughed, (I cried), we ate way too much popcorn, and we definitely made some core memories.

And because a chic mom loves a brilliant perk: you absolutely need to jump on Showcase’s “See Three and Go Free” promo this summer. Their Starpass program is completely free to join, and if you see three movies between now and August 31st (and grab three snacks or drinks—because obviously, we are getting the collectible popcorn buckets), you score a free movie ticket to use between September 1st and November 1st. Consider your next rainy/super hot day activity or parent escape handled. 🍿✨

Traded the city hustle for a little Gilded Age gla

Traded the city hustle for a little Gilded Age glamour in Lenox . ✨

If you haven’t visited The Mount yet, consider this your sign to pack up the car and head to the Berkshires.

Edith Wharton designed this estate herself, and walking through it feels like stepping into one of her novels—if her novels featured a modern mom chasing two girls through a perfectly manicured French garden.

It is dripping in architectural elegance, but it never feels stuffy. It’s the perfect blend of historic sophistication and wide-open spaces for the kids to explore. Plus, there is nothing quite like showing your daughters the physical legacy of a woman who completely owned her story (and her style).

Tell me in the comments: If you were building your Gilded Age dream home, are you demanding the two-story library or the sunken Italian garden? 📚🌿

Motherhood in the little years is a beautiful, cha

Motherhood in the little years is a beautiful, chaotic, and wonderful whirlwind.

Between the endless scheduling and the sheer energy it takes to keep everything running, it is so easy to overlook the small, unscripted moments that make this chapter so brilliant.

We talk a lot about the milestones, but what about the spontaneous living room ballet recitals? The architectural pillow forts that take over the living room? The fact that my wardrobe is now routinely critiqued by two tiny fashion directors who strongly advocate for more sequins or that while I might want chocolate ice cream at the pretend Gelateria in my yard I instead get handed a flavor called “Rainbow Chocolate Pink”?

These are the unplanned perks. The moments that force you to be present, laugh a little louder, and remember that life doesn’t have to be perfectly tidy to be incredibly beautiful.

These are the Blink-and-You-Miss-It Moments I’m fiercely clinging to as a mom to two little girls who I love more than anything.

What is your favorite unplanned perk of the season you are in right now?

Let me know in the comments. ✨🥂

This video is from 2022—masks on, being so incredibly careful because of Covid, but absolutely determined to sing to our Nunny. Today, she would have been 105.

It has been two and a half years since we lost her, and if there is one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: it doesn’t matter how many years a person gets on this earth. Living a remarkably long, beautiful life doesn’t make it one bit easier for the people who have to stay behind and say goodbye.

I still have that immediate, gut reaction to pick up the phone and call her the second something exciting happens in our lives. Arielle just performed at her very first Open Mic, and my first thought was how much I wanted to tell Nunny all about it. Aurora isn’t in this video—she’d make her appearance the following year—and so often, when she hits a new milestone or does something for the very first time, my heart aches wishing Nunny was sitting right there to see it.

The world will truly never be the same without you in it. We love you so fiercely, and we miss you every single day.

Happy Birthday, Nunny. 🕊️🤍
