Hello from Aurora, New York! If you saw my Instagram stories, you know that I am back at #CampCourtlyCheck (Mackenzie-Child's HQ) with my mom for a little Mother's Day project we are working on. It's been so fun getting to be here with her and give her a behind-the-scenes look at the brand. ...
It's been 3 years since I was in the classroom teaching, and yet, I still find myself learning the best ways to function as my own boss. Whether that's how to manage time, file taxes, or stay motivated, I'm always trying to learn and improve. Which is why I'm so excited to kick-off this 'Lessons Learned from the Self-Employed' series! ...
We've been doing some spring cleaning this week. And after the work of getting the house back in order, I like to finish it by lighting a candle. I love candles around the home. Not only do they make the house smell nice, but they're often a nice decorative piece for a desk or coffee table. And today, I have a new favorite candle collection. Kendra Scott has launched a new line of candles and they are gorgeous! ...
You guys know I have a major sweet tooth. And with Easter just around the corner, I could not pass up making these super easy (and yummy) Rice Krispie Nests. I've made these with Austin's family over the past few years and they are one of our favorite little traditions. ...
Warmer weather is on its way and I'm excited to be partnering with Ann Taylor again to share the launch of their new pants collection just in time for spring. You guys know my style tends to be more classic and modern than trend-driven and Ann Taylor nails it every time. ...
Happy Friday, everyone!
Wanted to pop in today to share an item I've been reaching for over and over again during the transitional weather: this tan faux leather jacket (that actually feels and looks real). The weather has been all over the place in Dallas, and I love that this jacket can layer for chillier days, all while feeling lightweight. Plus, the details are really cool; it's actually one of Austin's favorites! ...
Being one who loves a good neutral palette, I was thrilled at the opportunity to feature the new MacKenzie-Childs Sweetbriar Collection. This collection includes linens, florals, and dinnerwear which are handmade, hand-glazed terracotta, all made in Aurora. I got a sneak peek of the design process last spring during my trip to Camp Courtly Check and have been anxious to see the entire collection unfold. Whether you like neutrals or soft pastels, the white color makes the perfect canvas for your spring tablescape. ...
Spring is officially here and with it comes a new reason to update my wardrobe. A spring refresh if you will! In honor of the new season, we are talking all things shoes. So, get those toes painted and ready to slip into some sandals, or in my case, open-toe mules. ...
So you're planning a quick trip to NYC. If you're anything like me, you scroll through Pinterest trying to find the cutest restaurants to grab dinner or looking at hashtags on Instagram to find the most "IG-worthy" brunch spot. Hey, if anyone gets it, it's us!
And while 48 hours is a very quick trip to NYC, it's definitely doable if you have a plan. ...
Happy weekend! Today, we are launching our new wellness series: Weekend Wellness.
While there's plenty of resources out there on healthy living, I want to share my personal journey towards better health. I want to live a more healthy lifestyle, but I don't always know how. I'm not a fitness or nutrition expert, and frankly, sometimes I don't even know where to start. Maybe you guys fall into the same boat. If you do, you're in good company with this series! The goal with this series is to call on wellness experts and seek their advice on healthy living to all of us here at TTD. You can expect upcoming posts like 3 Steps to Toned Arms or My Favorite Healthy Snacks — this series will cover it all. And if you live and breathe health and wellness, please send us your recommendations either by commenting below or commenting on Instagram. I'll be sharing notable reader tips on my Instagram Stories and highlight them throughout this series. ...
