Happy Monday, friends! Today marks the last full day of our trip, and we’re spending it exploring the Amalfi Coast. It is an absolute dream, and I pinch myself a dozen times a day…but this mama is ready to see her babies!! We start our long journey home tomorrow, but you can bet we’ll soak up every second, view, and gelato cone while we can today!
I don’t know about you, but May was a whirlwind, don’t you think?! Two trips and the end of school will do that I guess. I’m not to mad about it though, because June means the kids are home, and Summer is here! I’m sure it will take me a few weeks to find a new rhythm, between spending time with them, working, and keeping up with the blog.
Some weeks days it seems I’m doing nothing but chasing a To Do List, or playing catch-up, so it’s nice to take a moment each month and look back at the projects and content I managed to create. So just in case you spent too much time in that weird dead spot at Target, here’s the top posts from May.




Last month also had another round of Sugarplum Style, and everyone’s favorite, Dressing Room Diaries. Both of which have nifty little graphics in the sidebar, so you can catch up on them anytime. I also threw in a quick Five Under $50 and Ramblings, featuring fun new things I’ve got my eye on.
(Sidenote: I also updated my Sugarplum Picks to reflect what I’m loving and wearing these days. You can check it out anytime using the shopping bag graphic in the sidebar.)
June is sure to be another fun one, with Trip Reports, new home projects, and Summer style inspiration! Thank you so much for stopping by when you do…your support and comments mean the world to me!























Welcome home! I loved all of your instagram photos and can't wait to see the rest!! My daughter officially starts summer vacation today and has a few weeks before she gets busy again so I'm hoping to do some fun things with her!
Hi! Welcome back! I just have to say — you have the best style! I always love seeing what you wear. Have a great week!

You've had a busy month mama! The dressing room pic of John is going to be on a canvas in my house somewhere. I hope that's not weird. 🙂
Time is flying by, I agree…how is it June??? Can't wait to see the pictures from your trip. Sounds heavenly.
Love the Top 10! I thought I made a point to never miss one of your posts, but somehow I missed the packing for NYC one. Love your go to dress and how you pulled it together for both day or night. I just ordered one in black and hope that the fit is as flattering on me as it is you 🙂
i luv them all! keep it up and them coming
Hi! I'm leaving in a couple of days for what seems to be the same Alaskan cruise that you went on (same excursions too) and would LOVE to see your packing list/suggestions since I am torn about what to bring! Any suggestions you have would be awesome!
Hi Anon! I'm so excited, and a bit jealous, of your trip! I'd love to go back tomorrow!! I'm planning a packing post, but I can't get it together before your trip..so sorry about that!! It's the last week of school, and I'm slammed at work from being gone, so my week is crazy. Just check the weather in each of the ports for an idea of the temps. I took lots of light layers, and just put them on and off as the day dictated. The only time I was cold was the morning of the Tracy Arm Fjord (but you're on the boat), and on top of the glacier for dog sledding. I was fine with a silk underwear shirt, long sleeve tee, fleece vest, and windbreaker-type jacket. Most days we were actually warm!! As for the ship, anything goes for 'at sea' days…and dinners are dressy for two nights, and 'date appropriate' for the other nights. Have so much fun!!!
