I didn’t spend a lot of time on my computer this week as I’ve been at my parents’ house celebrating Thanksgiving. It’s been nothing short of wonderful. I’m actually flying back to NYC today and my mom and sister are coming up for a girls’ trip the following weekend… can’t wait!
I have to share this video though. So. Funny. So many things are spot on…. especially the WiFi password part. (It took so long to get my laptop, iPhone, and iPad all hooked up because the code was so difficult to type. And my mom has bowls of M&Ms everywhere.)
Amazon // Great deals! Honestly, you could literally skip all those crazy big-box store lines and just do all your shopping online with Amazon. (If you’re getting new electronics, like a camera, this is the BEST place and time to do it!)
Tory Burch // 20% off $300, 25% off $500, 30% off $750
Code: Lucky
There are few exclusions, but these boots are already marked down and then take an additional 20% off! Crazy!

Nordstrom // The Nordstrom sale is all over the place, but still great. Definitely worth spending the time going through each section (Women, Men, Handbags, Beauty) to make sure you’re not missing one of your favorite brands on sale… you know, for gifts (or yourself, I won’t judge).

Ah! Everything, including the bag-of-the-season, is 25% off. Perfect time to get all your big ticket items and stocking stuffers and gifts for friends!

J. Crew // 30% off select full-price styles and additional 40% off sale + free shipping
Code: HOLIDAY

TUCKERNUCK // 15% off site wide with SHOP15, 20% off $150 with SHOP20, 25% off $500 with SHOP25, 30% + free gift on $1000+ orders with SHOP30 (If you need to get a bunch of nice gifts that aren’t too expensive for your besties, this bracelet would be the BEST idea!)
Yes, I love Thanksgiving Day and the day after the sales on Friday. I do not like to stand in line, so everything I buy online. It is so very convenient. Today, in the era of the Internet, students can even be ordered online writing services. For example here omnipapers.com It's just perfect! :))
Those TB boots are def. on my wish lift this year! Hopefully they don't turn into a New Year's Resolution! Best thing about today is working in an office in a mall… #perfection!
OH MY GOD THAT SNL SKIT… I had no clue how hilarious & spot on it is until I watched it on Saturday!!!!! I was cracking up…it is seriously so true! Glad you got to spent time with your family! Hopefully one day you are in Tampa again I can meet you! 🙂 xo, Amanda affordablebyamanda.blogspot.com
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 ✌🏻

@pennylinndesigns and I hosted a “learn to needlepoint” class this past weekend and it was everything ✨ Needlepoint has been such a bright spot in my life over the past five years- and it’s gotten me through some difficult times. Because it’s helped me so much, sharing this hobby with others has turned into a mini life mission of mine. To sit in a room (my beautiful office space designed by @clare.sull!) with pro stitchers and needlepoint newbies alike was one of my dreams come true. I loved seeing women chatting, meeting, and bonding over this beautiful craft 🪡 Honestly, the needlepoint world is (sadly) filled with a lot of gatekeeping and competitiveness; this weekend proved that it doesn’t have to- and shouldn’t- be this way! It’s for EVERYONE. Whether you’ve never picked up a canvas in your life or you’re working on heirloom stockings for your family, there’s room for everyone at this table.
📍 Leave a comment saying “needlepoint” and I’ll send you my go-to resources for getting started with needlepoint!
I saw this episode of SNL and thought that video was hilarious!
