This week has been very busy and exciting! I got back from a trip to Florida with my college besties and feel so rejuvenated and happy from that. We belly laughed for 3 straight days and despite a very delayed flight home that got me home at 3am Monday morning, it was 100% worth it.
On Tuesday I had a fun girls day in the city with Alex and Eva (pictured above) to try on wedding dresses for Eva's wedding which was obviously the most fun ever!
I have had a complicated relationship with my nose since the age of 10 when some kids in my class nicknamed me "the nose". I've gone from hating it as a child and teen to accepting it as a young adult to hating it as an adult to living with it to hating it and back 1,000 times.
We all love a good spring pasta recipe and this one has all the flavors I crave this time of year... bright herbs, sour lemon, nutty pine nuts, and sweet peas. Serve it with salmon or chicken for a perfect filling meal. Luca loved this so much he had thirds!

Finding sustainable brands that are also reasonably priced that are also cute is a tall order. My 12 year-old brother Jackson loves the British brand FatFace and it checks all of those boxes! They sent Anel and I a few pieces for spring and we both fell in love with the brand not only for the cute clothing but for their core values.
