Anyone else in a funk? I am sliding in and out of this weird funk. As in one minute I’m on Cloud 9 and the next I’m near tears (or crying). Everything seems to set me off in one way or another.
Womp.
(Maybe it’s the end-of-summer-blues?)
This helps.
I saw the absolute best video on Youtube. Ever. I had goosebumps from the second it started to the second it ended.
Sarah Horn was at the LA Philharmonic and got plucked out of the audience and pulled up on stage by no other than Kristen Chenoweth. You can read Sarah’s personal recount of her experience on Broadway.com.
As a serious chorus nerd, I just can’t help but get so excited for Sarah. Isn’t it everyone’s dream to be magically “discovered”?
I have a feeling that Kristen Chenoweth was brought into Sarah’s life for a reason…
Kristen Chenoweth is a Gamma Phi Beta sister! I absolutely love this, beautiful song. I think for some the funk is getting back into the school routine and back to the craziness. This video is perfect!
Don't start feeling down, Carly! Just get up and have fun…or totally watch an episode of OITNB on Netflix. As much as I could be stressed out this time of year, I choose not to be! Your Friend, Jess
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻
Dress is @tuckernuck & sweater is @kiltecollection
I just finished watching this!! Just remember how great you are and smile 🙂 so excited to visit NYC soon!
That's the perfect word for the last couple days. I wouldn't say I'm in a bad mood, but a funk is a perfect way to describe it.
Kristen Chenoweth is a Gamma Phi Beta sister! I absolutely love this, beautiful song. I think for some the funk is getting back into the school routine and back to the craziness. This video is perfect!
The idea of summer coming to an end has put me in a funk as well! But this is such a great pick me up song!

Your Friend, Jess
Goosebumps & tears…definitely feel ya on the funk! 😛 Something must be in the air. Keep your chin up!
So cool! Love Kristen Chenoweth!

Yes, I feel you on the funk! And I saw that video last night and loved it. Maybe the cure for these blues is lots of musical theatre YouTube videos…
This video reminded me a lot of the one with Michael Buble.

I have the flu, in August, so yep I'm definitely in a funk. But that video definitely helps.

This was exactly what I needed right now.
Oh that's so funny, I posted this too on Monday! Such a magical moment!

I've been in and out of a weird funk all week too! Ugh, need to kick it!
I love this song and reading Sarah's account of singing with Kristin Chenoweth just warmed my heart. Truly touching.
