Welcome to the blog!

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 138 of Life On the Brink! I am currently due with my second daughter any day now, and before I go on a postpartum hiatus I am taking this episode to share all the details of this pregnancy: what's different from last time, how I'm preparing for birth and postpartum, and reflecting on my parenting expectations from two years ago! It's a sweet little finale to round out not only this season of the podcast, but also the season of motherhood fo

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 137 of Life On the Brink! It’s officially summertime once again, and this year I feel the potential for an absolutely magical season more than ever! From sunrise walks to poolside picnics and homemade ice cream, the possibilities really do feel endless. This is also the summer when I’m going to welcome my second baby girl, so before July ends and I enter another newborn phase, I’m really diving into making as much summertime magic as I can.

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 136 of Life On the Brink! Earlier this spring I had the opportunity to travel with Josh for my 30th birthday- to Paris! This has been a bucket-list destination for me for years and we finally did it! It was extraordinary and beautiful, and even though neither of us had ever been to Europe before, I was able to feel prepared and flexible. It can be overwhelming when researching for a trip, so in today’s episode I’m sharing my Top 10 tips for

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 135 of Life On the Brink! It’s finally springtime- the best time of year! We survived the winter and can now THRIVE in the beauty of this special and short-lived season. As with every spring, I’m reinvigorated and inspired to jump back into gardening, lots of springtime reads, new adventures and ways to celebrate. This year I’m also pregnant again, and am finding ways to be gentle with myself while still making sweet memories with my daught

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 134 of Life On the Brink! It’s been three years since Josh and I moved into our house, and slowly but surely we’ve been turning it into our beautiful family home. It’s been a while since I’ve recapped all our renovation progress, but with Baby #2 on the way a lot is changing! We’re in the final stretch now, and I’m so excited for the updates coming this spring. What’s in my teacup? Anything with lavender (see this week’s Little Joy) BEFORE

Hello hello, and welcome to a very mini episode to share a very BIG announcement! Let’s get down to it- I’m having another baby! Josh and I are so excited to be having another sweet little girl this coming July. Zoe is going to be such a good big sister, and I’m so happy to see our family grow. I’ll be sharing a full recap of the first half of this pregnancy in March, but I wanted to let everyone know! Also, I wish you a very sweet Valentine’s Day full of love and chocolate.

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 132 of Life On the Brink! It’s time once again for one of my favorite episodes of the year, the always-beloved “favorite-books-i-read-last-year” episode. I was fortunate in encountering so many 5-star reads in 2025, and it seems no book on this list is like another- though I can’t recommend this list of books enough. After ending last year in a bit of a busy-season reading-slump, I’m so excited to get back into a new year of books. Now’s th

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 131 of Life On the Brink! Happy Thanksgiving! No matter where you are, the holiday season is hereby upon us, and I couldn’t be more excited. This year I’m choosing to focus on streamlining my calendar of events and finding pockets of time to gather in a casual, meaningful way. Especially during the holidays, social gatherings can feel draining, but today I’m bringing some interesting resources and lots of creative ways to reinvent what gath

Hello hello, and welcome to Episode130 of Life On the Brink! October has gone by quickly and wonderfully, filled with so many autumnal moments and gatherings, as well as a few cozy hobbies that I’ve particularly been enjoying. Today I’m sharing all about my love of crocheting- how it began, why it’s THE BEST, and how to get started- along with how I’m prepping for the upcoming holiday season and adjusting to having a full-on toddler! A lot has changed since last fall, but wit
