This was my tablescape for Father’s Day dinner because if there’s one thing men appreciate, it’s an intricately woven placemat and delicate bamboo salad fork. 🫠 Sharing the much-requested table details below!

Sometimes two kids under two means candy for breakfast. Thankfully, my girls have already learned the importance of matching your snacks. 🍉 FYI, @wileywallaby has dropped two new limited edition flavors — fruitrageous drops and a new wild fruit flavor of my favorite sourrageous drops. I'm thrilled to have new flavors but not thrilled that I have to share with these two little people. If there's a more delicious candy on the market, I haven't found it. 🤤 #WileyWallabyPartner #twoundertwo #mommyandme

If I could wallpaper my house in this dress, I would. (Wait, can I?)

Can’t believe July Fourth is just a few weeks away and REALLY can’t believe these photos of Coco and Liza (swipe👆🏼) are from one year ago. Where does the time go? 🥹❤️💙

I’M ON THE HUNT FOR AN INTERIOR DESIGNER AND HERE ARE SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS THAT ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ASKED FOR:

I love interior design and would very much like to be an interior designer in my next life. In this life, I have come to terms with the fact that I need to stop thinking I can do it all on my own and find a designer to work with because I simply don’t have the bandwidth to do it all myself while maintaining a full-time job, two small children, etc. INTERIOR DESIGNERS ARE V NECESSARY. Especially for the insane universe of minutiae that we civilians don’t know and can’t anticipate — like exactly how much fullness can a specific fixed drapery bracket bear or how does one wrap molding around an electrical socket that can’t be moved or what do we do with a ceiling that’s 2 inches higher on one side of the room than the other? The reality is that an experienced interior designer will help you navigate all of the potential crises you’d never anticipate and help you save lots of $$ (and time and sanity) in the end.

SO, I’m currently on the hunt for the right designer but here’s what has always baffled me: To find a designer, you have to look through portfolios of their previous work. HOWEVER, their previous work is typically work done for previous clients — their stuff, their homes, their preferences, THEIR ultimate decisions. So, if you’re looking at a picture of a room and you think, “Why would they have decided to include that art” or “that weird clock” or “that bizarre collection of Star Wars memorabilia?” It could be the designer OR it could be the client who insisted on the inclusion of those items because they’re meaningful family heirlooms or something. You never know. Designers, how do you cope with this?! Must be such a difficult part of the job!

Anyway, wish me luck on the search?

P.S. Links to what I’m wearing and similar favorites in stories. Props to @wesgordon of @carolinaherrera who knows that when it comes to polka dots or florals, we don’t have to choose. WE CAN HAVE IT ALL, LADIES. ❤️‍🔥

I recently went down an internet rabbit-hole searching for a set of cute melamine plates for the summer season so that if one of my children decided to spontaneously use her plate as a frisbee, everyone (including the plate) would survive. I ordered these blue gingham plates from @Shutterfly on a whim and was BLOWN AWAY by the quality. They're dishwasher-safe, BPA-free and as part of Shutterfly's partnership with @Spoonflower, the options are absolutely endless. Many more details of our weekend picnic on the blog and stories! 💙#ShutterflyPartner AD

@sarahflint_nyc, permanent legal resident of my shoe closet, just released one of my favorite sandal styles with this new gorgeous silk floral ties so I'm taking them for a test drive. I got this style in black two years ago and they have continued to be a pair I excitedly reach for all summer long. Definitely getting thrown in my bag for Memorial Day Weekend! FYI, new customers can get $50 off with discount code SARAHFLINTxMARYORTON. #SarahFlintPartner #SarahFlint #InMyFlints #classicstyle #mdw

anchors away ⚓️ sending big hugs for a much-needed long weekend ❤️

Channeling our inner Reno Sweeneys today. ⚓️ The girls are in head-to-toe @childrensalon outfits which, as you know, has been my number one destination (since before Coco was even born!) for the sweetest, most beautiful childrenswear. Sharing links to all of these pieces and more from their adorable @beatriceandgeorge line in my stories! #DressedByCS #ClassicStyle AD

Breaking: Sources confirm the beast did, in fact, break the spell last weekend at the @milwaukeeballet’s performance of Beauty and the Beast (👆🏼 swipe for video interview with my source). A spokesperson for the Prince is expected to hold a press conference this afternoon with updates on his recovery from prolonged beasthood but Belle’s camp has declined to comment on questions raised about her alleged Stockholm Syndrome. Stay tuned for more developments.

P.S. Sorry for the barrage of dress photos but I feel like the back of this @damarisbaileyshop dress deserves it. 🎀

P.P.S. Liza in pic number 7 is just 🥺💔😭. You can come soon, baby girl.
