Our Trip to Wicked Tulips

Wicked Tulips, Johnston, RI

May 2, 2023

Two years ago we made the trip down to Rhode Island to visit Wicked Tulips at their Exeter, RI location as a spring adventure. We loved this beautiful day trip as we also got to stop in Wickford, RI, a quaint little seaside village.

So when Wicked Tulips reached out and asked if I’d be interested in coming back down and checking out one of their other locations, I immediately said yes. Arielle really loves all of the beautiful colors and one of her favorite things to do is run up and down the rows of blooms.

While our schedule didn’t allow for us to return to the Exeter, RI location before it closed for the season, we were able to visit their Johnston, RI field. They also have an even larger location in Preston, CT. Currently they plan to keep the Preston location open until May 10, while the Johnston, RI location is selling tickets through May 12.

If you’re planning a visit to Wicked Tulips

Tickets are a timed entry but once you are in the field you’re allowed to stay in there for as long as you’d like. Adult tickets are $23 on the weekends and $20 on weekdays and they include 10 tulips. On weekdays after 2 p.m. adult tickets are $17 and still includes 10 tulips. Children 4 and under are free while those between 5 and 17 are $5 and tickets can be used any day. While they don’t include tulips, kids tickets never sell out. If you end up going over your allotted amount of u-pick tulips, they are $1 per stem.

Wicked Tulips does provide buckets for the stems you pick and before you check out, you can choose either to have a professional wrap your bouquets for you for $5 (which is donated to charity) or you can wrap your own.

They also offer yoga classes in the fields on select mornings at 9 a.m. and sunset yoga at 6:30 p.m., weather permitting. Classes are $35 and include 10 tulips.

Visiting tulips fields in New England has become a springtime tradition for our family and I cannot wait for next year when we’ll have another little one tip toeing through the tulips!

Thank you so much, Wicked Tulips, for having us!

What it’s Like to Have a Miscarriage

Science, but add a little rock ‘n’ roll. ⚡️ We sp Science, but add a little rock ‘n’ roll. ⚡️

We spent the day exploring the Museum of Science because I want these girls to know they can take up space in absolutely every room they walk into—whether that’s a runway, a boardroom, or a laboratory.

There is nothing quite like watching the world click into place through their eyes. From Aurora locking eyes with her favorite T-Rex (a required stop, always), to the intense focus at the live animal show, to taking total command of the space capsule. They are curious, they are chaotic, and they are wearing the good sneakers to do it.

But amidst all the grand discoveries of the universe, my favorite moment happened in the quiet glow of the planetarium lobby when Aurora was in my arms, looked in my eyes and sang “You Are My Sunshine” to me. Cue the immediate melting of this mama’s heart. 🪐✨

Smart is chic. Curiosity is cool. And you never, ever have to choose between a love of paleontology and a love of tulle.

Who else is raising little rule-breakers?

When your daughter announces her official career p When your daughter announces her official career path is to become a butterfly, you have to respect the ambition. 🦋✨

Naturally, we had to lean in, which brought us to my latest obsession: Glass in Flight at the New England Botanic Garden. Imagine walking into a lush wonderland where 30 larger-than-life stained glass and steel sculptures are casually stealing the show. Artist Alex Heveri crafted these massive creatures—hummingbirds, dragonflies, beetles—and they shimmer in the sunlight like oversized jewels dropped into the blooms.

The absolute showstopper was finding this bench framed by massive, stained-glass wings. Watching Aurora sit there, living out her very chic metamorphosis... it was one of those perfect, dream-come-true motherhood moments. The perfect mix of brilliant color, wild scale, and the kind of magic you actually want to pack the stroller for.

Exhibit is open until November 1st!

Spilled espresso and everyday chaos? Not tonight. Spilled espresso and everyday chaos? Not tonight. Tonight, we do tulle and Tchaikovsky. 🩰✨

Took one of my favorite little sidekicks to see the @BostonBallet’s Sleeping Beauty, and the energy was absolutely electric. Watching her wait for Princess Aurora to take the stage—especially when she shares a name with her big sister—was pure, unfiltered magic.

There is something fiercely beautiful about slipping into a velvet theater seat and watching the world light up entirely through your kid’s eyes. It’s a sharp reminder that while motherhood is wonderfully wild, it’s also the greatest excuse to get dressed up, chase the sparkle, and live a little beautifully.

Never skimp on the magic, darlings. Put on the heels, grab your mini, and go book the tickets.  And use my code, FASHIONKATE45 to grab them for $45!🥂👑

Tell me—what was the ultimate fairy tale that had you captivated when you were little? Let’s hear it in the comments! 👇

How do you measure a perfect birthday? For Arielle How do you measure a perfect birthday? For Arielle, it starts with an exclusive VIP guest list. 🎈

She woke up to seven of her best stuffed friends (with her favorite lovie, Miso, front and center, obviously) waiting with balloons at her bedroom door. Naturally, this evolved into an impromptu plushie movie theater in mom and dad’s bed while she caught up on her YouTube queue.

After a quick cameo at school for a craft, I staged an early breakout for the truly important things in life: mini-golf and a highly curated, five-star lunch at McDonald’s. 🍟✨ We rounded out the afternoon doing what she loves most—a serious art supply haul, tackling some Lego builds, hitting the park, and tearing into presents. She also got to watch the first episode of season 2 of one of her favorite shows, @castleimpossible, while building the first of her @crunchlabs boxes which was her birthday gifts from us. She’s officially obsessed! 

But the absolute best part? The universe really showed up for her. The rose bush we dedicated to Nunny miraculously bloomed yesterday, and we spotted our very first butterfly of the season—Aunt Betty’s symbol. Feeling so incredibly lucky to have our angels looking out for my little ones. 🤍

The birthday marathon will carry on through the weekend, but the countdown continues: Aurora turns 3 in exactly 11 days!

Bring on the cake. 🥂✨

Seven years in 90 seconds. ✨ The beginning of my true purpose summed up in a minute and a half. 

To say she flipped my entire world upside down would be the understatement of the decade. 

Arielle, you’ve grown up in the absolute blink of an eye. While these little flashes of time show the highlights, they couldn’t possibly hold everything I want to express to the sweet, spirited soul who truly saved me.

You are my mini best friend, my ultimate adventure pal, and the absolute best big sister to Aurora. You have this undeniable, unapologetic magic about you—the kind of girl who literally turns the world on with her smile, bringing sparkle, a little bit of sass, and pure joy everywhere you go.

Motherhood is the wildest ride, but loving you is the most beautiful adventure I’ve ever been on. Here’s to the girl who made me a mama, who keeps me perfectly on my toes, and who makes every single day infinitely brighter.

Bring on the confetti (and maybe a champagne coupe for me 🥂)—we have a seven-year-old to celebrate!

Happy 7th Birthday, my darling Arielle. 🩷

Looking at these maternity photos, it’s wild to th Looking at these maternity photos, it’s wild to think about where my head was exactly seven years ago today. I knew what was coming tomorrow—the hospital bags were packed, the C-section was scheduled, and I knew I was finally going to hold my baby girl.

But what I didn’t know—what I couldn’t possibly understand until I was in it—was how much I was going to change. How in just 24 hours, my entire universe would flip on its axis.

I didn’t just meet my daughter the next day. I collided with a completely new version of myself. I learned that motherhood isn’t just a title you add to your resume; it becomes your entire essence. If I’m being completely unfiltered, there were times in those early days where I lost myself entirely—where I felt like I was drowning in the sheer weight of this new reality. But stepping into this era has been, hands down, the most rewarding role of my life.

Tomorrow, we celebrate Arielle turning seven. The sweet girl who made me a mom.

I already know the waterworks are coming, but I’m going to have to do some serious strategic blinking—she is my little empath, and if I start crying, we’ll both be a mess! 🥹

I wish I could bottle up this exact season. The one where she still thinks I’m the ultimate VIP guest and genuinely just wants to spend her birthday by my side. Since I can’t freeze time, I’m just going to soak up every single sparkly, emotional, beautiful second of it.

Happy birthday eve to my sweet Arielle. Let the celebrations begin. ✨🥂
