It’s been a wonderful week here and at home. First, big news on the home front – Hayden started walking for real! And over here, I felt extremely encouraged by you all this week, so thank you for that. I dedicated a good amount of time here and wrote a couple of pieces I’m very […]
It’s been really exciting to see what started as a funny little side project, turn into something much bigger than I ever expected it to be. The Gwyneth Made Me Do It IG feed now has almost 4500 followers, and the community over there has challenged and encouraged me to cook more, research more and […]
Last week I attended Alt Summit for the second year in a row, and while I got home early Saturday afernoon, it took me a few days to process the event and how beneficial I found it to be. Over the last 2 years, since I attended my first ever “blog conference”, I’ve been asked […]
I have a couple of girlfriends, as well as my mom, who are quite good at sending off nice little handwritten notes and cards to loved ones. Be it a special occasion or just to say hi, receiving one of these cards via snail mail always makes my day and makes me feel quite special. […]
Hello and happy Monday friends. I’m back from Alt, and still recovering from late nights, but feel semi-back to normal. I left inspired and determined to change some things, which will inevitably lead to some changes around here, but changes I think we will all be happy with. At least I hope so. At any […]

They were just about the cutest things I’d seen in a very long time, and I immediately texted Miranda a […]
I had my first kale salad over a year ago, at the Veggie Grill. The thing that most surprised me about that salad, was that I actually loved it, and went on to crave it. The biggest problem with that salad is that it cost over $10 once you add some protein, and for a […]
Pants – Anthropologie; Sweater – H&M (old), Clogs – Madewell; Purse – Joelle Hawkens via Nordstrom; Bangles – Kate Spade These pants are a little crazy, even for me. Not that I usually dress all that crazy, but I’m willing to step out of my comfort zone every now and then, especially when they only […]
My first introduction into working retail, was during college at Victoria’s Secret. During my time there, I perfected the panty table fold, in which I was able to perfectly place hundreds of pairs of panties, into neat and tidy rows, which would be destroyed within minutes of store opening the the following day. I say […]
I don’t ever recall being particularly obsessive about sleep, before I had children. I myself am happy to survive off of 6 hours a night, as long as it’s a solid 6 hours. That term “solid sleep” though, is quite a slippery one, once you have children. Aside from some periods throughout high school where […]
