As both a mom and an interior designer, I know how quickly the first week of school can fly by. The rush of new routines, school supplies, and the excitement (and nerves!) of a fresh start often leaves our homes buzzing with activity. Now that we’ve made it through week one, it’s the perfect time to pause, catch our breath, and create spaces that support calm, focus, and a little inspiration for the year ahead.

The end of June always gets me super emotional. Another school year comes to an end, the season shifts and the craziness that surrounds these last few weeks all seem to blend into each other. It’s the time of year I wish we could slow down just a bit.

Is it me or do the spring months just blend into one big cluster? As a mom, the days are so chaotic and it seems like 2:30 pm appears out of nowhere. May was full of a lot of late night office moments to hit deadlines, play catch up, and check things off my to-do list.

Summer always sneaks up on me — but as both an interior designer and a mom, I’ve learned that a little early prep can make the season smoother, more beautiful, and a lot more fun.

As MDW quickly approaches (How is the unofficial start to summer next week?!), I am thinking about the endless possibilities of summer snacks and apps I’ll whip up for a backyard BBQ or to bring along to a friend's pool party. My favorite dish to indulge in over the summer is my “go-to-pasta-salad!”

As an interior designer, I love finding ways to celebrate the seasons — and patriotic holidays are some of my favorites. Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and even Labor Day give me a chance to play with bold colors and nostalgic details, all while creating spaces that feel festive and thoughtfully styled.
