Weekend Read’s & Whatnot - June 14

Back from the City + A Few Summer Favorites


Back home from New York and back to reality! One of the girls wasn’t feeling her best earlier this week—she’s totally fine now—but it definitely made for a few long days of cuddles, thermometer checks, and not a lot of sleep. Somehow I still managed to sneak in a few house projects between playing nurse and making toast with the crusts cut off.


Big win: the dining room table is done! I painted it the softest creamy white and it completely transformed the space. I also ordered crown molding for the living room—next on the list! I swear every little update makes this house feel more like us.


Today the girls and I are prepping for Father’s Day. Sophie has decided we’re baking a cake—her idea, her recipe, and apparently I’m just the assistant. I’ll let you know how it turns out!


In the meantime, here are a few things I’ve been loving lately:


– The only cabinet cleaner that actually works  I’ve tried them all, but this is the only one that cuts through the grime without leaving that sticky residue.

This adorable sleep set – Lightweight, soft, and perfect for warm evenings with the windows open.

A potential platter replacement – I chipped one of my favorite serving platters (ugh), but this one might be even prettier.

– Ticks are out in full force – I’ve found two on me in three days (yuck!). This [article] was super helpful and had a few tips I hadn’t heard before.

The perfect white tank – Just the right weight, a high neckline (thank you!), and it holds its shape in the wash.

This summer tote is a classic – Think effortlessly chic and very Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy..she famously carried one. 

Planning to make this for Father’s Day brunch – It’s simple, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser.


Wishing you a weekend full of sunshine and strawberry shortcake (or chocolate cake, if Sophie has her way).
