February felt full in the best way. A little chaotic, a little caffeinated, and very worth it.
Sunshine State Reset
We escaped frozen temps in Upstate NY and traveled to Florida over break. Let me tell you, traveling with children is not for the faint of heart. Between packing, snacks, airport logistics, illnesses and making sure everyone has their must have comfort item, it can feel like you need a vacation from your vacation. But watching the boys run around, soak up the sunshine, and make core memories together made every second worth it.
And yes, I was traveling in style. I shared all my favorite warm weather picks in my Spring Break Shopping Guide.
If you need easy, mom approved pieces that actually make you feel put together while wrangling kids and beach bags, that post is for you.
In the Kitchen
Back home, I leaned into cozy meals and shared my Parmesan Kale Sweet Potato Boats. They are hearty, flavorful, and the perfect balance of comfort and nourishing. I added shredded mozzarella and mixed everything with couscous for a little extra texture. It is one of those recipes that feels elevated but simple enough for a weeknight.
Getting Crafty with Simply Earth
February also brought some creative energy thanks to Simply Earth. If you have been wanting to try essential oils and DIY projects without feeling overwhelmed, their subscription box makes it so easy.

It felt so good to carve out creative time again. Slowing down and making something with my hands always helps me reset.
Book Club Meetup
Our monthly local book club meetup at is becoming one of my favorite things to do. This month we met at Normanside Country Club and discussed His and Hers by Alice Feeney. The conversation was so good! Twists, unreliable narrators, and all the theories flying around the table. There is something special about gathering in person and talking through a thriller with other women who love books as much as you do.
A Girls Night Out
I attended a Girls Night hosted by Moms for Moms Initiative and it was such a fun, supportive space!
The night included fine line tattoos, mini massages, coffee, and tooth gems. It felt like the ultimate self care night with other local moms.
I treated myself to a permanent anklet from Ambiance Glow and I am obsessed! They will be hosting a Lucky Girl Party on March 27th with same vendors!
Valentine Book Swap
One of the sweetest parts of the month was participating in a Valentine themed book swap thanks to Beautys Library
We were matched with another bookish girl, mailed them a book from their wishlist along with their favorite sweets, and received the same in return. It felt thoughtful, intentional, and such a fun way to connect beyond a screen.
February reminded me that even when life feels busy, there is space for sunshine, creativity, connection, and a little sparkle around your ankle.
