I was forced to learn how to shoot better photographs at the beginning of the pandemic when my photographer couldn’t come out from the city. It ended up being a “fun” project and looking back, I’m glad I was forced to figure it out because I’m not sure I would have been able to do…
Back today with a quick post…. a new playlist!!! This may just be my favorite one yet? For a while I had been skipping music and opting for audiobooks instead, but I love playing music with Jack now. We have special moments throughout the day where I love to just put on some fun background…
I’ve been finding myself feeling in the mood to wear makeup again. I went through a fairly long phase where I simply wasn’t wearing much (only my eyebrow gel and maybe a swipe of mascara) as a result of the lockdown. I was only putting it on when I needed to shoot photos, really, but…
What even day is it? I’m in a holiday fog right now. Or maybe it’s just “end of year fog”? Unsure, but whatever the case, I can’t believe it’s December. And December 10th at that! Time is flying and I’m trying to keep up. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE //…
It’s been a while since I last did a roundup of dresses, and with all the added special occasions and festive events this month, I feel like now is the perfect time to share some cute dresses under $150. I also tried to pick dresses that you can still wear into winter. As someone who…
One of my favorite parts of writing my book was getting to interview some entrepreneurs that I really admire. It was a pretty tight turnaround and I’m so grateful to this group of entrepreneurs who were up for the interview! The book is set up into two sections: one about all the nitty gritty things…
This was a pretty fun week all things considered. I think I’m beginning to feel like we’re in a good everyday life routine here. Not that everyday is a walk in the park, but all of us know what to expect for the most part and that makes a huge difference. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Seeing…
While I’m not that proud of how much (er, how little) I read in November, I do have a bit of a “unique” reading win: I started and stopped reading a few books that weren’t holding my interest. I’m notorious for trudging along and finishing a book no matter what, even if I know I…
I’m making an effort to double-check my Christmas list and wrap up my shopping this week. So I put together a list of some fun gift ideas under $20 that would be perfect little gifts for friends and co-workers or as stocking stuffers. I LOVE a good stocking stuffer. As a kid, diving into our stockings was…
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. 🫶🏻
