Guys. I bit the bullet and changed the name of my blog. It was the most terrifying and liberating move for me, and probably annoying to my husband who will no doubt spend the majority of this weekend helping me switch everything to comply…
Around the time I entered college my decent skin got embarrassingly out of control. I felt so uncomfortable all the time. I remember choosing restaurants for dates based on the lighting so my horrible acne would look just a tad bit better. For reference,…
Fox just had his six month well baby appointment (even though he’s late – a week and a half shy of seven months to be exact) and we could not be any more proud of him. He learned to sit yesterday unassisted, he eats…
Happy Throwback Thursday! Before Fox was born, Tyler and I made it our mission to cast aside beach vacations and head straight for city centers. Japan was technically Tyler’s pick and while I was so very excited to go, I craved another European getaway…
Every time my birthday used to roll around I could practically hear Tyler groan, “Ughhhh, what am I going to get her?” From my perspective I’m easy to shop for. I like pretty much anything: a homemade gift, thoughtful card, food, clothes, knick-knacks –…

With a husband whose nickname is “Tynology” it’s no wonder that I’ve gotten pretty well-versed when it comes to apps. I keep both my phone and iPad Mini relatively clean, but there are certain apps I keep on my devices at all times whether…
It’s been awhile since I’ve sat down with a good book which makes me so sad because it’s one of my favorite things to do. It sounds cliche, but reading really is the best way to try on another way of life for size.…
Citrus Lane always has a way of understanding my child that I just can’t predict. Flipping through photos of Fox from day one, you’ll see periods where he’s become obsessed with certain items, and for some reason 90% of them are from his little…
Yesterday I left my purse on a train. I realized as I was walking through the doors of the transport but kept on going. And when I got to the stairs I panicked and realized it was gone forever. I only had one thing…
Industrial rustic. The sweet contradiction of hard metals and soft wood textures are a favorite of mine. I always envisioned myself living in a Chicago loft with exposed pipes and brick walls, filled with Edison bulbs and beaming with white accents all over. I…
Kristen Stewart arrived at the premiere of her most recent movie, American Ultra, looking absolutely amazing in a Zuhair Murad sequined romper. The real star of the show (or movie) turned out to be her ridiculously chic cat eye. I’m willing to bet that…
I’ve been feeling some serious wanderlust lately. Before the baby arrived, Tyler and I were adventurers – whether locally or internationally. All in all we’ve traveled to 15 countries together. My next bucket list location is Iceland and his is to head back to…
Life with a baby and a career has been a huge adjustment. Before Fox I lived a fast-paced lifestyle as the editor of not one but fourteen magazines. This in-office job kept me on my toes while under the constant deadlines of seven magazines…
We’re gearing up for the cooler seasons over here at the McElhaney household these days. I’m brainstorming what I’m going to do for my September birthday, what Fox is going to be for his very first Halloween, and – this is embarrassing – I…
