About Elisabeth
Hi, I’m Elisabeth, an Orange County lifestyle blogger, and I’m so glad you stopped by!
This blog lives at the intersection of style and function where I share the joys (and struggles) of modern motherhood along with my favorite things to wear through it all. You’ll find plenty of bright, happy pictures that might just be accompanied by the story of that week’s meltdown. If you’re looking for product recommendations, activities with kids, mom-friendly clothes, or the perfect treat to indulge in after the kids have gone to bed, you’re in the right place.
Life isn’t perfect, but it is pretty wonderful and I love using this space to share that. My husband and I met in college and were married in 2011. We added our first little one in January 2015 and seventeen months later his sister joined us while living in Ohio. Since then we moved to Boston for Ben to pursue his MBA and added our third little one in August 2019. In 2021 we traded New England winters for year round pool days in Orange County and are thrilled to welcome baby #4 in summer 2022.

I love a blogger who just blogs about life in general– that's what I like to think I do, too! 🙂 Just randomly clicked over from the blog hop and I'm glad I did! Your line "3. I could spend my whole life dancing, eating, and traveling and be perfectly happy" is completely 100% true with me too!
So happy you stopped by my blog – I'm excited to be reading yours now 😀 Looking forward to reading more!
