What are a few things you want to accomplish this month?
… 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!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
Lovely list! I love looking ahead and thinking of fun things to do each month too. Thanksgiving is always something I look forward to every November 🙂

I really want to go on a hike here in Missouri! There are so many trails and the weather is still relatively mild so it would be perfect. I'm also wanting to finish two books this month 🙂
26 and Not Counting
Great list! I love putting together a monthly agenda. This month I plan on celebrating my bday, enjoying some pampering, and I would like to fit a hike in before all of the leaves fall.

Every year just before the holidays I always say I am going to re-read the Harry Potter series! I would love to do it!! You should do a blog series about it, or keep up with it on Goodreads so I can follow along. Having other people to do it with makes it more fun!
This is a great list! You totally should visit Maine…I am from right outside of Portland (in Maine) and it is absolutely gorgeous during this time of the year. I can't wait to read about it if you go!

I need to make a bucket list for myself, including learning how to make my mom's Thanksgiving recipes!

I couldn't recommend York, Maine more! 🙂 Hope you have a great fall!

An all day hike + Maine + recipe from you grandma. All so charming!
I just started re-reading Harry Potter – I'll race ya 😉

I really love this idea. Thank you for the inspiration, Carly!
I just reread the HP series over the summer. It's something I've been meaning to do forever, since I only read each book exactly once when it was released. They definitely hold up! Love the rest of the list too!
Reading this list is making me so jealous!! Down in the southern hemisphere we are coming into some crazy hot, humid weather already (can't even begin to imagine how hot summer will be if this is what spring is like)! Have a great November!

I love the idea of a monthly bucket list! I feel like it'd motivate me to get out and explore more 🙂

Always with love,

I love this! It seems like most of the fall fun ends in October so I am glad to see you continuing all the fun fall activities into November 🙂

I hope you visit Maine! I'd love to see what you think about it, and it's the perfect time of year before it gets way too cold! I'd suggest the Kennebunk/Portland/York area where the lighthouses are, or up near Acadia National Park.

I will definitely be getting our Christmas card addresses in order as well as hopefully making some wassail (similar to cider!)
