I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
I'm sorry to hear that things have gotten out of control. I know exactly how that feels. I keep thinking I've finally gotten things figured out and am on a good road, then life throws me a curveball. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon. Oftentimes a night or two off–where I read something lovely or watch old movies–puts things right again. Good luck.
The article about Twenty-Somethings in the workforce couldn't be more true and the Kate Spade video was adorable. I hope you were able to have a somewhat relaxing weekend at least. I tried to and now my "to-do" list is even longer than before but it was worth it to have a bit of time for my own sanity.
I loved this post; I hope you do more like them in the future.
Its a new week and a new month, hope they start off well for you!
Think of spring! It's just around the corner : )
Good luck trying to recharge. Spring is just around the corner. I'll be sending good thoughts your way!

Just know that you aren't alone! Everyone gets to this point at some time or another. I hit it a couple of weeks ago. Go back to the basics, and focus on yourself to get things back together. Start with you, and everything else will fall into place!
Sending positive thoughts your way!
Thank you for sharing that video! It was so much better than a lot of the cups videos I've seen. And I adore Kate Spade, so thank you for that one too!

It gets better. I think it took me until 25 to finally feel like I had a grasp on my life. Its different for everyone but I think that first year out of college is a mess for all sorts of reasons!
That Kate Spade video was so cute!
