My April...depicted via Instagram.

April was a busy month! And it flew by! More often than not, I was creating posts at night and cramming in last minute work when the girls went down. I suspect this will be my life for awhile but I can't complain. I mixed business with pleasure and a spoonful of fashion and friends. Life is good...as depicted by my April Insta collage.

Suited for Spring.

If Spring means a clean slate than a white suit makes for a clean sartorial choice. I wore this all-white ensemble to an event this week. Note: I left the house immediately after getting dressed. C'mon, I know better than that!

Wearing all white around toddlers doesn't end up good. Especially, when our freezer is stocked with watermelon popsicles!

101 Eats: Fresha | a healthier alternative. (+ a giveaway!)

If you're like me...lunch is either: A. in the car or B. rushed. Or wait, C. both! The struggle is real, my friends. What's worse than a lunch that provokes the 3pm slump at your desk? You know what I'm talking about. You chose unwisely and ate a carb laden, ridiculously portioned meal that made you want to pull a Costanza once you returned to the office. 

Does that only happen to me?

Eyelet.

Eyelet will forever be associated with Summer in my mind. Didn't every little girl have an eyelet dress?

Today's post brings you a modified, more contemporary version that can be worn with jeans or a skirt for dressier occasion. I suppose this is my favorite uniform of all: a boxy top with interesting details, distressed denim and a good pair of heels. 

No one could ever accuse me of not knowing what I like.

The thing about girlfriends.

On the subject of girlfriends. With so much change in 2015, it's only fitting that I acknowledge the importance of my girlfriends. This especially resonated for me this week after editing a piece for a client of mine. 

My client is a savvy 70-year old grandma who always has a few "isms" to share. It got me thinking about my own girls. Everyone knows my husband is my rock but there are some things only a woman can relate to.

Working for the weekend.

Today's post is about my husband. Confused? Let me explain...

For the last three weeks I've been eating, sleeping, breathing...and sort of vomiting work. (in a good way) Frankly, he's a saint. I would be tired of me. He's been so patient with my distraction but also the best cheerleader I could ask for. 

So...if you're reading this Jack (you better be!) -- THANK YOU for being such an amazing husband and father. Your patience is extraordinary.

Take a dip!

I don't know about you but I never realized there were so many affordable swimwear options out there! Perhaps it's because I'm from the Midwest and we only get about three great months of swimming weather or perhaps it's because I'm a mom and always running from one activity to the next -- regardless, that's all about to change. It's time to up my swimsuit game!

As luck would have it, I was trolling the internets last night as our vacation is lurking around the corner and found a copious amount of full coverage options, which is a necessity once you've hit 30. It is for me, anyway.
