Darlings, a little heart-to-heart for Mental Healt Darlings, a little heart-to-heart for Mental Health Awareness Month? My soul sighed relief for this reminder. 🌸

With my therapist, I shared my ‘grand plan’: track every minute to find more time...for more doing! (Life’s a whirlwind with school events, Arielle’s graduation, birthdays, a trip – you know the beautiful chaos!) Bless my ever-striving heart. 😂

Her kind revelation: what if that ‘extra’ time was a gift to myself? My mind yelled, ‘But how, darling?! So much to do!’, but my heart whispered, ‘Yes.’

This led me to reflect on 2022’s tender wounds: two silent heartbreaks, goodbyes that marked my soul. Then, learning the shadow I carried was PPD (yes, even without a baby home then – a shock). Our precious Aurora Rose, our rainbow, arrived like a sunbeam. I hoped she’d mend everything, but true healing, I’m learning, is a gentle pilgrimage inward, even amidst her joy. ✨

I see now my whirlwind of ‘doing’ was often a dance to avoid unprocessed grief & depression. My ADHD is part of my sparkle, but it also shielded a heart not yet ready to be still and feel.

So this May, I’m tenderly rewriting ‘self-care.’ It’s more than appointments; it’s nurturing my inner landscape: a joyful novel, a quiet coffee, the radical act of being. Understanding that asking for help is strength. Am I giving my loved ones my best, or just what’s left from an empty cup?

My heartfelt desire: be a joyful, present mother, a loving partner, and kind to myself. It’s not a quick-fix, my loves, but a gentle journey home to myself, one heartfelt step at a time.

What tender acts of self-kindness are you embracing this month? I’d be so honored to hear your heart on this.

Date night perfection in Boston! 🌃✨ Kicked Date night perfection in Boston! 🌃✨ 

Kicked off our evening with delicious Tacos Gobernador & innovative “Socktails” (genius!) at the new @democracybrewingboston 🌮🍹 before being completely swept away by the breathtaking Spring Experience at @bostonballet.

Three distinct ballets graced the stage, from the pure classical magic of Raymonda to the thought-provoking modernity of 27’52” and the striking elegance of Petite Mort. 

What an absolutely unforgettable immersion in art and beauty! Such a perfect way to spend an evening. ✨

Make sure to use my code, FASHIONKATE45 to get your tickets. Spring Experience is on stage until May 25!

Thank you, @bostonballet, for the magic!

Fashionably Yours, 
Kate 🩷

✨ An evening of pure Gloucester gourmet delights ✨ An evening of pure Gloucester gourmet delights at the one and only @tonnogloucester! ✨ 

Kicking off our @discovergloucester staycation here was an absolute dream come true.

From the most COLOSSAL shrimp cocktail I’ve ever laid eyes on 🍤 to dreamy grilled swordfish, Alex’s heavenly Sunday Sauce that tasted like a hug from an Italian nonna, and even kid-approved spaghetti that got a ‘best ever’ rating from my little Arielle – every single dish was a showstopper! And that Tiramisu Martini? A perfect nightcap for this happy mama! 🍸

But beyond the incredible food (and trust me, darlings, it’s out-of-this-world!), the heart of Tonno’s truly shines with its warm, impeccable service. A huge, heartfelt shoutout to our server Tayia who was an absolute angel with our girls and made our dinner truly extra special! 💖 She even sent them home with coloring goodies for our hotel stay – how thoughtful is that?!

Mamas, you know how we search high and low for those special spots that feel like a sophisticated treat for us but also welcome our little adventurers with open arms? Tonno’s is IT! Perfectly upscale yet wonderfully kid-friendly – it’s our kind of paradise, and so hard to find! 🌟

If Gloucester is on your travel itinerary (or even if you’re a local looking for an exceptional meal!), Tonno’s is a MUST-DINE. Trust me on this one, and be sure to book that table in advance – this gem is popular for a reason!

A massive thank you to GM Joe and the entire team at @tonnogloucester for such a memorable evening, and especially to the lovely Tayia for making us feel like royalty!

Kate ❤️
