With no snow to be found, it’s been kind of nice to enjoy some extra time outside. Especially with a two year old pup who needs lots of exercise, I’m pretty grateful for these afternoons outside.
We typically take Teddy to our favorite dog park (it’s like heaven on earth, I swear!), but the beach was calling our names this week! There’s nothing cuter than seeing twenty dogs sprinting back and forth on the beach! Teddy dipped his toes and nose in the water… while other dogs did their own polar bear plunge.
There are around a million reasons why I love living in Connecticut so much… and being so close to the water is right up there as one of the top reasons.
I’ve had a few pieces of Patagonia clothing from my college rowing days and always loved them. Working from home and being a little more outdoorsy than usual, I’ve collected a few more pieces this year that I wear way too often. This quilted snap-t is one that I wear at least every other day! It’s super soft and a little less puffy than the fleece version.
While it’s not an official “resolution” I do intend on spending more time outdoors this year. I always feel stress melt away and my overall happiness go up after being outside even for a few minutes.
I love Patagonia as well! I just started collecting it about three years ago and already have several pieces. They're just so well made, it's easy to fall in love 🙂
#sponsored Bedtime with two little boys can be hectic to say the least! 😅 But I try to do what I can to make the transition smoother and help my baby get the best sleep possible. 💤 Desitin Maximum Strength Baby Diaper Rash Cream is the #1 pediatrician-recommended choice for diaper rash relief. The rich, thick formula creates a protective barrier on Rory’s skin, working for up to 12 hours to treat, heal, protect, soothe, and prevent diaper rash. And after bathtime, we use @aveenobaby Calming Comfort Lotion. This nourishing lotion, made with prebiotic oat, keeps my baby’s skin soft and smooth for 24 hours. Plus, the calming scent is perfect for winding down before bedtime. A little prep goes a long way in making bedtime easier for everyone! 🍼💤 Both are available on Amazon
Holding on for dear life this December ❤️ I have had SO MANY conversations this week with my friends near and far and we are *all* struggling. I have to say, just knowing it’s not just me feeling the pressure of “end of year-holiday magic- cold/flu/stomach bug season-darkest days of the year,” has made it a little easier to handle. Don’t forget to take care of yourself, too 😮💨 (Telling myself this because I could use the reminder too!)
If I hadn’t already mailed our Christmas cards*, I would be ordering a reprint because this first photo is IT. ⭐️💂🏻♀️
*Actually only half because for some reason, I didn’t order enough? Our list must have grown over the past year or I just underestimated how many people were on it! I had to order more so the second half will be going out later whoops!!

#ZarbeesPartner I love putting together thoughtful gifts for new moms and their families. Especially as the seasons change, having the right products helps everyone feel prepared and at ease. You can never predict when your household will get hit by a cold or flu so I always recommend having trusted products on hand so you’re never left in a pinch. For this gift, I included our go-to @zarbees Baby Daytime & Nighttime Cough Syrup + Immune. Made with organic agave to soothe baby’s dry throat and zinc to support their immune system, it’s safe for little ones 6 months and older. The nighttime formula even has chamomile to calm and comfort before bedtime—a must-have for peaceful nights 💛 Be prepared and order on @amazon.
