The recent sunshine, warmth, and blooming trees have me hopeful that warm weather is here to stay in Chicago. It’s hard to believe that May is here already, and I feel like, at the moment, everyone is talking about summer plans. So if you have any upcoming vacations, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite vacation outfit ideas, from cozy outfits to wear on chilly days at the beach to my go-to poolside look.

I am so excited about today’s blog post. Let me introduce you to the nicest—and prettiest—towels on the face of the planet: Weezie.
As I’ve talked about ad nauseam on this blog 😜, I’ve really tried to pare down our possessions and go the “less is more” route over the last couple of years, and I now know with certainty that quality > quantity. I used to hoard towels. I’m not sure what I was subconsciously preparing us for; some form of an apocalypse?! But you should have seen my linen closet. It was busting at the seams. Fast forward to today, and I have two towels per family member in there, and it’s organized and calming and holds everything we need and nothing more.
Fewer, better.

First day as parents with both kids in the same school during the same times! 👏🏼 (Lucy ‘s first day at Emma’s school is today!) Such a monumental day for our family; we’ve been crossing our fingers for this situation for ages! The girls are so happy to be together, and I’ll admit that Mitch and I are pretty happy to have more together time, too. 😆
Upon dropping the girls off, I’ll admit that we just kind of looked at each other in shock, haha. But then we took Noods on a long stroll—without a stroller—through the park, zoo and lakefront area. We weren’t rushed or frantic or worried that we’d miss a pickup; we just enjoyed the outdoors, sunshine, warmth and blooming trees. Spring is a time of rebirth and new beginnings, and this is definitely a new beginning for us.

All right, guys. I’m launching an organizing series! As someone who spent the last few years working hard to pare down our family’s possessions in the hope of a calmer and more fulfilling life, I’ve finally moved on to the stage where I get to make our space work for us. I’m really excited about it. 😜
Am I a little crazy? Yes. Did I set out on this journey during an uncertain time when I probably just wanted to feel a sense of control? Yes. Do I have a tendency to label things that probably don’t need to be labeled? Ohhhh, yes. 😆
