Tonight only, J.Crew is offering 40 percent off + an extra 10 percent off your order when you use code “SUNNY.” (There are also some crazy good deals in this section. In there, I’d recommend these soft white high-rise jeans that I’m wearing in the above photo, the Painter Shrunken Tee, the Long-Sleeved Boatneck Painter Tee, the Slim Perfect Tee, and the Short-Sleeved Crewneck Sweater.)
I NEED TO CLEAN MY MIRROR 😂, but here are a few basics that I’ve recently purchased from J.Crew:
Cozy Jeans (SO SOFT! TTS.) / Rothy’s Washable Sneakers / White Long-Sleeved Tee / Folding 7-Foot Trampoline / Balls / Elsa Dress / Little Tikes Pink Car
Childhood, but make it quarantine. 😉
It took us roughly 5.5 hours to put this thing together. So I can’t in good conscience recommend buying it. 😂 (WHY WOULD COLOR-CODED DIRECTIONS EVER, EVER BE PRINTED IN BLACK AND WHITE?! WHYYYYY. 😡) But oh my goodness; besides the worse-than-Ikea assembly experience, our folding kiddie trampoline is a gift from the gods!
Tea Set / Painted Easter Eggs / Honey Bunny Pot / Trellis Easter Eggs / Pastel Egg Bouquets
Holy cuteness.
Patio in progress: Faux Boxwoods (Set of 2)
Guys, I found the MOST AMAZING faux boxwoods, and I feel like they warrant an entire blog post. 😂 (That I write in five minutes because I have a baby on my lap.)
Please excuse our dusty construction scene. ;)
Mitch here!
As if quarantine wasn’t bad enough, Kelly, Emma and Lucy are stuck in here with a beginner ukulele player. Even worse, I’m really bad at it. And I play all the time.
As we approach a YEAR in our house–how did that happen?!–I’ve been thinking about how far we’ve come with making it our own. :)
We currently have a list of mini home projects that we keep in our kitchen, and we’ve been trying to tackle one job per day. Very honestly, we’ve already failed that, haha. But we’ve crossed off five of the 30 tasks, and man, is it satisfying. All the little things we used to say “when we have time one day” about, you know?
These are the photos and stories of medical professionals on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The idea behind this series is it will help to humanize the crisis, illustrate the gravity of the situation, and encourage people to stay home when at all possible and practice social distancing to both stop the spread and prevent our emergency rooms and ICUs from collapsing.
We can’t force doctors, nurses and other medical professionals to turn away the sick; to face the impossible and the unthinkable. We need to allow them to do their incredibly admirable jobs. They are real-life heroes, putting themselves and their families at risk every day to save the lives of others, and now more than ever, they desperately need our help. ♥️
Sailor Jeans (Try these striped sailor pants and these white and navy sailor pants, too.) / Soft Loafer / Ribbed Mockneck Top / Cashmere Popcorn Sweater (So soft!)
50 percent off everything; no code needed. Discount applied at checkout.
This is your little kick in the rear to get dressed today! ☺️ I touched upon this in a recent post, but putting on regular clothing in the morning sure makes a difference in my outlook. It also makes me look far more professional during work-related conference calls 😉, and I’m less embarrassed when I see my neighbors over the fence or FaceTime with family and friends, haha. But seriously! Wearing pajamas or leggings or whatever for a few weeks is lovely, and it certainly brought me comfort in the beginning. But embracing what we can from our former lives is clutch right now, and this a somewhat easy habit to start forming!
Side note: I know I keep talking about this, but FORMAL FRIDAY, GUYS. Haven’t done it yet, but let’s make BUSINESS CASUAL WEEKDAYS a thing, too! Or at least REAL PANTS/JEANS WEEKDAYS. Why am I yelling? (Also, if you’re an essential worker, please let me say thank you right now. For everything. For putting your life on the line; for keeping our country up and running; and for saving lives, whether directly or indirectly. You’re heroes, and we’re all indebted to you.)
Chef Mitch here!
As Spring descends on Chicago, a primal dad instinct has awakened in me. It could be the quarantine or the warm weather, but all of the sudden I feel an urge to grill.
