    Hi – the Dillard’s links just go to the main page. Thanks.

  2. Claire says:

    Number 6 doesn’t work. Just goes straight to ALL Dillards dresses. Please post those specific dresses. I’d love to see them. Thanks

  3. Maryn says:

    Thank you for sharing the link to Fruitful! As a proud mommy to an IVF miracle, it means a great deal to me to see women like you advocating for the infertility community.

  4. Marisa says:

    The Dillard’s links all take me to the home page as well!

  5. jbindc says:

    Hi Belle! None of the Dillards links are working – they all take me to the main page of their website. Thanks for all your hard work on this blog! Much appreciated.

  6. MARGARET M HRUSCHKA says:

    The last link “Sarah’s latest travel post about Morocco” is sending me to a pin of the tassel earrings you posted about earlier.

  7. Amy says:

    Thank you for sharing the link to Fruitful. I’m a happy mom of 2 via adoption, but man, it was a tough road through infertility. I will share this with others and consider mentoring.

  8. Stephanie says:

    About the phone use on vacation, I don’t even think it’s peoples’ work email that’s the issue. I was just in Maui and nearly everyone at our 5 star resort was sitting at the pool all day, scrolling mindlessly on their phones. Not a lot of tapping away at emails or getting up to take calls where it was quieter. And many of the women were moms who, statistically, probably don’t even have jobs. It was all really sad– they were ignoring their kids, their spouses, friends, the ocean, skipping the snorkeling and the view. On the first day I decided to leave my phone in the room unless I needed it to navigate while on an outing. It really helped. Oh and I literally left my work phone at home in LA. Work was still here when I got back.

This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

The Counter: The Post-Product Era

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss.  Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner?  In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin.  But in my 40s, my skin […]
