This post is sponsored by Audible! This year, I completely fell in love with audiobooks all over again—and I owe it to Audible. As someone who’s constantly juggling kids, work, and everything in between, I don’t always have time to sit down with a book. Audible has become my secret weapon for fitting reading into…
This holiday season has been one of the busiest for me yet. I’ve been juggling staying on top of work and wanting to squeeze in as much magic for the boys as possible while also trying to check off all the usual things from my to-do list. Needless to say, it’s catching up to me, and…
We are SO CLOSE to the finish line! I’m looking forward to taking some time to recuperate after a long year, spend some quality time with my boys, and maybe (if I’m lucky!) even sneak in a nap or two. Heading into a new year, I’ve been reminded about the phenomenon that is guided journals….
This past week was an absolute doozy. We got through though and we had lots of sweet moments to enjoy, which makes it all worth it. (At least that’s what I’m telling myself right now…) LAST WEEK’S WIN: I saw Wicked! Jack had his first school performance! We went to the holiday train show while my…
With holiday parties underway, I thought I’d share this fun-and-still-festive look. Honestly… I think I prefer it to a dress? Am I not a dress girl but… a tuxedo woman?! It’s not a look I would have picked out for myself as my first choice, but I’m doing a campaign on Instagram with J. Crew…
I’m hitting a point of burnout for the year. I keep seeing video recaps with the “2024 season has come to a close” or whatever and I think it feels like the year is over. Still have a couple of weeks to get through though. Whoops! I was having quite a bad day on Wednesday and…
I have been living in cozy sweaters for the last few weeks. The temps are dropping and all I want to wear are outfits that feel warm and snug. Now that we’re almost halfway through December, it felt like the perfect time to round up a mix of cozy sweaters to carry you through this winter….
Every holiday season I reach a point where I’m just… counting down the days to Christmas. I wish it wasn’t always like this, but that’s just the nature of the beast in my industry! After that, of course, is New Year’s– 2024 has felt a decade long in some ways, so I’m looking forward to…
It was a crazy week! Lots of fun, lots going on. My parents and sister were in NYC for a wedding this weekend, so Stacy came before the wedding and then my parents came afterwards! The boys were in heaven getting so much attention. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Seeing my family! My sister came first and she…
🎧 Five 5-Star Audiobooks I Listened to This Year ✨

This year, I listened to some incredible audiobooks, but these five stood out as absolute favorites:
📚 A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith: A beautifully written coming-of-age classic. I didn’t want it to end and could absolutely see myself re-listening in a few years.
📚 None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell: A psychological thriller with unreliable narrators that kept me guessing the whole way through.
📚 Such a Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter: Part mystery, part family drama—flawed characters, a gripping storyline, and a chef’s kiss ending.
📚 All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker: A masterpiece of storytelling that starts as a serial killer mystery and evolves into something much bigger.
📚 Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors: A stunning exploration of sisterhood, grief, and imperfect people. The ending left me in tears (happy ones!).
#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!!
Traded in my mom jeans for a @jcrew tuxedo this holiday season! Whether you’re dressing up, getting cozy, or picking out a gift for someone special, J. Crew has you covered! #injcrew #sponsored

I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve met Santa already… but you’re only three once and you only have your first Christmas once!!🎅🏻
#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.
