It’s a bustling Friday in August, and the city mom is effortlessly chic in blue pleated shorts and a camel shell, her favorite sneakers keeping her nimble, while her go-to gold hoops, graduated rope necklace, and new stack of permanent bracelets add just the right sparkle. The morning is a whirlwind of brand magic as she pours over the brand photos Hannah Schweiss completed last night, sharing them with her graphic designer and updating her website, while also putting the finishing touches on three author interviews and starting work on her monthly newsletter (are you signed up?). She sneaks in a quick lunch before heading to Three Avenues Bookshop to chat about the authors she’s inviting to The Chicago Literary Salon, then it’s off to a school social at Miles’ daycare before she and her husband slip away for a well-earned date night—proof that even a week of just passing hellos can end with champagne and laughter.
