When this mom reached out, she was ready to start toy rotation.

I said nope.

Toy rotation is a scam. It’s designed to make parents feel like they’re not doing enough.

You and your husband both work full time. Toy rotation is one more job nobody has time for, and it quietly turns into a closet full of bins you never get to.

That’s not a system, that’s homework.

So we did the opposite.

We designed a Montessori-inspired room their boys can actually grow into.

And yes, they had double of everything, because hello, twins!

Less toys always equals more play! 💛

Seven weeks is a long time. I miss them like crazy and I still wouldn’t change a thing.

They come home more capable every summer. They make their own friends, figure things out without me, handle stuff I didn’t think they were ready for. Camp does that.

I know it’s not for every family. It’s right for ours, and watching who they’re becoming is worth every quiet week in this house.

Raising kids who don’t need me for everything was always the goal. 💛

I’m super Type A (or I thought I was 🤔). About basically everything. Except vacations.

My husband copies me on all the travel details and I just skim the emails and archive them. I’m an inbox zero girl, so I only keep emails I actually have to do something with. It’s kind of my to-do list. The vacation stuff isn’t mine to do, so out it goes.

But here’s what I keep getting stuck on. If I were really as Type A as everyone thinks I am, wouldn’t I be Type A about the vacation too? Or is the organizing just me masking ADHD this whole time?

Please tell me I’m not the only one 🙏🏽

Be honest with yourself for a second.

Do you want the thing or do you want the rush of the deal? That hit of dopamine?

That feeling wears off by the time the box shows up, and then it just sits there with all the other mindless purchases, and your home is a mess and you’re wondering how did we get here.

If something genuinely brings you joy and you’ve had your eye on it, add to cart, buy the thing, enjoy it.

But if you’re only in it for the deal, that’s your answer.

What did you talk yourself out of buying today? 👀

Funerals have a way of cutting through the noise and reminding you what actually matters.

Tomorrow is never promised. Stop waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect conditions, for the stars to align.

Don’t delay your joy.

In the work I do with clients, I hear it constantly “someday.” Saving the good stuff for a rainy day.

But that day may never come.

So use the nice plates. Wear the outfit you’re saving. Take the trip. Say the thing you have been meaning to.

Live for today.

He wanted New York Knicks 🏀 everything!

The logos, the orange and blue, the whole nine.

But I draw the line at cheesy!

This is the type of rug that fits lots of design styles, so I knew it’d balance out all the orange and grow up right alongside him. The Knicks aren’t going anywhere and neither is this rug.

Did I nail it?

These are my girls.

Here’s the thing nobody tells you. You can meet your people in midlife. Some of my closest friends are women I’ve met since becoming a mom. Some are also women that I’ve known since childhood, college and my professional life.

I’ve also lost a few people I was sure I’d have forever. That part’s sad, but it’s ok too. I wish them nothing but the best and I mean it.

When life is pulling you in nine directions, canceling is always the easy button.

Don’t hit it. Make the plan. Make the effort.

I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase:

Everyone wants a village but nobody wants to actually be a villager.

It’s absolutely true!

We make room for the stuff that’s just ours. Not the kids’. Ours.

We gossip about the husbands and the jobs and the children, sure. But we also go to dinner, take the long walk, cheer each other on, and most importantly we always end up on the dance floor.
