We’ve largely still been doing nothing around here. You know things are bad when an introverted homebody (that would be me) is craving plans and socialization. But some fun things from this week: celebrating Mike’s birthday with a cozy night at home, Jack got his first tooth (!!!), Facetiming with a friend for a couple…
After having Jack last year, easing back into working out and feeling strong is a goal I’m focusing on. When we first got the Peloton in 2020, I wasn’t sure how much I’d end up using it since I’ve never previously enjoyed spin classes. It took a handful of rides before I finally felt the…
This has been one of my favorite posts to write every year. Here are my favorites from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. I do find it interesting that while the past couple of years have been some of the most challenging, they have also been the most rewarding. Truly the highest of highs mixed with some…
Whew baby. Last week just about did me in, but we made it to the other side!!! LAST WEEK’S WIN: It was a tough week, but I put some things on my calendar to look forward to and, wow, it helped! My friend Maddie and I booked a little girls’ getaway for February (with Jack…
Usually this would be something I include within a post– like Friday “On My Radar”– but it’s just so good, it needed a standalone feature. I didn’t want this to get lost in the mix since it’s bringing me so much joy. I don’t know about anyone else, but this January feels pretty bleak. We…
Still trying to catch up on end of year/New Year content! Thanks for bearing with me! ALL THE UGLY AND WONDERFUL THINGS by Bryn Greenwood 1/5 Stars Yes. You’re reading that correctly. One star. Honestly should have given it a zero. Hands down the worst book I’ve ever read. The book is about a young daughter…
I recently went through my closet (again). I feel like I’m constantly going through and culling items that I don’t love or don’t wear anymore. I’m also still so unsure about what size I am… and what works with nursing… and what’s actually comfortable to wear… and what is appropriate during a pandemic where we’re…
Ugh, I came into the new year with a great mindset! I started to feel a little anxious considering how miserable I was last winter… But I kept reminding myself that I’m not going to have morning sickness this year and I don’t have to meet any book deadlines! It’ll be a different winter! It…
January isn’t typically a big shopping month for me. It’s cold outside, there are fewer places to go, and I usually end up wearing a lot of cozies. But one practical thing I will occasionally shop for during the winter lull is outerwear! Sometimes the best mood booster to get out of your winter blues…
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
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
