I went through some of the analytics here to figure out what were the “best of” 2021. It’s always fun to look back and see what resonated across the board. Here is what tipped the scales in 2021: TOP POSTS: #1: Is the Nap Dress Worth it? *** #2: Jack’s Birth Story #3: First Trimester…
With not much going on, I stuck to a fairly comfortable and casual wardrobe while I was taking a break from my blog. I was loving waking up every morning and not thinking about what to wear, instead just grabbing a clean pair of leggings and a comfy top. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Well, it was…
I love these posts about my intention every year. I’m coming in a couple of days late with this one– I usually queue it up right for New Year’s Day. But honestly? I think it’s an appropriate representation of where I am in life right now. I used to drive myself absolutely insane by getting…
Oh man, this week kicked my butt! I’m kind of dragging into today… but still have a few more work things to finish up and then I am grossly behind on getting things ready for Christmas. I have wrapped exactly zero gifts. I’m usually so on top of it! I definitely see a couple of…
How is Christmas already next weekend?! I’m really looking forward to the next couple of weeks to soak up time with family and slow down a bit. This year has been a whirlwind in the best way. I always take a little time off after Christmas, and I think I’m looking forward to it even…
I’m struggling to get in the Christmas spirit this year. It’s not for lack of effort though. At first I thought it was just the usual work stress (this is the most intense part of the year) or the fact that I have a book coming out three days after Christmas or maybe just new…
All of a sudden, I’m in the Christmas crunch. I felt pretty good about where things stood for Christmas, but now that it’s right around the corner, I’m realizing just how many things I need to get done between now and then. I typically take some time off, but I won’t be able to take off…
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…
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
