Raising Kids and Raising Glasses

Behind the seams with SWOOP

Meet Virginia Lynn Peterson – founder of Swoop, a loungewear and intimates line redefining comfort and confidence. As a nurse, Virginia worked endless 12-hour shifts and struggled to find a bra that could keep up. Instead of settling, she designed her own—and from that moment, Swoop was born. Her brand is built on authenticity: her models are her fellow nurse friends, her photographer Krista Kandrick is also a nurse, and her mission is rooted in empowering women through pieces that truly work for their lives. Virginia’s vision and grit have taken her all the way to being named a 2025 Tory Burch Fellow—one of only 50 women chosen out of thousands across the country. We loved talking with Virginia about turning necessity into innovation, building a business with heart, and what’s next for Swoop. Tune in to our conversation—you’ll walk away inspired by her story of resilience, creativity, and community.

Lexi shares how she balances motherhood, a career, and her growing design business — and how her à la carte approach makes cozy living accessible for every budget and lifestyle. Whether you’re choosing a new paint color or dreaming of redoing an entire floor, Lexi’s here to show you that comfort and beauty can go hand in hand — no sledgehammer required.

Cloudy With A Chance Of Chaos

Beach bags, missed deadlines & belly laughs! In this mid-summer catch-up, Ashley and Suzette spill on beach trips that were anything but relaxing and a “work day” that turned into complete mom mode.

Coloring Outside the Lines

This week, we’re raising a glass to Stacey Novelli — the creative force behind Stacey Novelli Designs and a mom who turned childhood dreams into a vibrant career. As a little girl, Stacey would sit by her grandmother’s side making clothes for her Barbies — and that’s where the magic began. She instantly fell in love with fabric, pattern, and design. That early spark, nurtured by a beloved high school art teacher who became a lifelong mentor, set her on a path of passion and purpose. From her years as a senior design director at Lilly Pulitzer to taking the brave leap to launch her own studio, Stacey’s story is a bold, beautiful reminder of what happens when you follow your heart — and your art.
