✨Homemade Glow Serum recipe currently in stories

✨Homemade Glow Serum recipe currently in stories & on the blog! This DIY serum has completely transformed the texture of my skin over the last 6 months and I’m sharing how you can make your own at home for just $10🙌🤯

Essential oils are basically plants in their oil form and unsurprisingly, I LOVE them! They’re naturally antibacterial and have so many beneficial, healing and nourishing properties - just like plants🤓🌿 - especially the ones I used in this serum! Head to stories to get the DL and shoot me any questions as usual🥰 Happy weekend friends!

I couldn’t pick just one so here’s 10 insanely cute pictures of my baby who, two weeks ago, finished his first year of “school”😭 You’re gonna want time swipe all the way through🤯🤯 He has grown in so many ways over the last 10 months and I have no words, I am just so freaking proud of him. Montessori has been GREAT for our family, and although covid made the end of the school year a challenge we still loved the experience and will continue as soon as is possible. Anyway, enjoy the many faces of Luca, he brings so much joy and light (and boogers🤣) to our lives! Love you baby boy🥰❤️

If you do one thing today head to my stories to see me awkwardly explain and demonstrate hand pollination on zucchini plants, I am 12🤣🤣 Lotssss of educational info about the guy parts and lady parts of flowers and how they make all the fruit babies🥒🍆🍅 Glad I don’t have to explain this to Luca yet but when I do...I might use zucchini flowers as props🤣😂 In all seriousness tho, hand pollination really does help squash plants so much I promise🙌
.
Also!! I shared our family’s “cucina povera” Italian fried & stuffed zucchini blossom recipe in stories🤤 So DELICIOUS and easy to make, but remember, only pick the MALE flowers🙌🤣 Love you guys, glad we can all be immature teenagers together🤣🤣

Happy gardening my friends, I love sharing this passion with you guys🌱 Tell me below what your gardens are up to currently!

I love this photo and it breaks my heart at the same time. You should have two boys in your arms this Father’s Day💔 Liam should be 2 months old. I was looking forward to our family with two wild boys, with Luca terrorizing a baby brother. Life is not even close to what we thought it would look like but it’s still ours, and my three boys are my everything. Liam is so lucky to have a daddy that loves him so much while he waits for us up in Heaven. You are truly the best father to Luca and I have no words for how grateful I am simply to do life with you,whatever it throws at us. We love you so much Alex😘❤️ Happy Father’s to my amazing dad also, and all the fathers out there, and to the ones who have lost a child, my heart is with you on this complicated day.

“No one is born hating another person because of

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” - Nelson Mandela
.
I came on stories yesterday and admitted I don’t have the words right now, I admitted I have not been the best ally in the past to the anti-racism movement. But my eyes are opening, I am more aware than ever, I have more empathy than ever and I promise to educate myself on how I can be a better advocate to help end racism in our country. It’s also my job as a white mother to teach my son about his privilege and all the things we don’t have to fear just because of the color of our skin. I have to teach him about black history and the prevalence of white supremacy in our culture. I want him to know empathy, that although he (nor I) will ever truly know the pain of racism, that we can have compassion and understanding for the valid experiences of other races. I want him to honor and celebrate others’ skin colors and above all BE KIND to all humans. He will know that all races are worthy of love and respect and I will always encourage him to stand up and use his voice for good especially when things get uncomfortable.
.
We CAN evoke this change! It starts with self-reflection, it starts in the home, it starts with educating yourself and then educating your children and I strongly encourage all my fellow mamas here to do the work, even if you’re starting small, even if you’re starting now❤️ #endracism #blacklivesmatter #bekind #leadwithlove ✊✊🏽✊🏼✊🏿✊🏾

I see so many new faces around here (thank youuu😭😍) so I thought I’d share a few random facts about myself to help you get to know me better!!⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿I like plants. Like a lot. All of them. And I talk a lotttttt about them. We have a big veggie & cut flower garden and do our own landscaping, I share it all! Gardening is 100% my therapy and happy place🌱⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿Before motherhood and blogging I managed our family’s orchard/farm store, which is where most of my plant and gardening knowledge comes from! #supportyourlocalfarmer⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿I’m a Leo and 1w2 enneagram, “The Activist.” I’m known to get a bit passionate over things I believe in and fight for reform💪⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿I’m an ambivert - social and personable but I’ll change to an introvert depending on the situation. And no shame admitting I am happiest being home with just my fam🥰⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿Favorite Things👉 food- pizza, color- red, flower- peony, coffee- black, sport- swimming, vacation- tie btw Turks & Caicos and Lake George! What else? I can’t think of anymore🤣⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
🌿Born and raised in NY just north of the city, still living here with my high school sweetheart, Alex, and our 2yr old son, Luca. Our second son, Liam, passed away last fall when I was 5 months pregnant. There will forever be a void in our hearts but we speak very openly about him as he is a huge part of our family❤️⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
Here on the gram I share gardening and plant tips, real, raw motherhood and a touch of beauty, style and home inspo! Watch my stories for everyday life snippets, encouragement through motherhood and gardening inspiration💕⁣⁣⠀
⁣⁣⠀
All that to say...I am so so glad you’re here🥰 I can’t guarantee what I’ll post or a perfectly curated Instagram feed. I’m just surviving day to day like any of us but I find SO MUCH joy in this community and connecting with you all so thank YOU for being here!!⁣⁣⠀
