I’m a little behind on these diary posts, so let’s catch up! Here are some highlights according to my iPhone’s camera roll over the past few weeks. So many afternoon walks! I usually like to look up the weather first thing in the morning and figure out what will be the driest and warmest (and…
It was a nice and quiet week at home. We got our Christmas tree all set up and as many decorations as I had the energy for. I must admit that I was being a big ole grinch about it, but had to get it set up early this week for an upcoming campaign. I’m…
With the season for holiday parties in full swing, I wanted to share some fun and festive outfits you can wear to holiday events this year. I’ll take any chance to get a little dressed up and spend time with close friends, especially after last year’s lack of festivities. Although I have a pretty good…
We took these photos a couple of weeks ago and I’m sad to report that almost all of the leaves around here have already fallen. We’ve even gotten some great little flurries! It’s helping me embrace the impending winter. Anyway, it’s just hard to believe how much has changed in such a short period of…
I am in denial that tomorrow is December. HOW. Remember when school years would stretch on for eternity??? Third grade never seemed to end…. And now? I feel like I blink and entire month has gone by. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I had such a great time having my parents and sister here for Thanksgiving! There…
I had a different post queued up for today, but this has been on my mind quite a bit. I’m a very, very competitive person. While being competitive has its perks, it’s actually something I wish I could shed. There’s no “off” switch for me. It’s great to be competitive when you need to push…
After getting a little taste of all the fun to come with Jack over Halloween, I’ve been thinking a lot about his first Christmas. While he may still be too young to understand, I’m excited to watch him discover this season for the first time. I’ve been having way more fun shopping for babies and…
I feel like retailers start their Black Friday sales earlier and earlier each year. So I decided to publish my blog post a little earlier for those interested in shopping early this year— for yourself or Christmas gifts. I rounded up some of my favorite retailers’ Black Friday sales with my top picks from each….
This past week was a bit of a whirlwind. It’s such a different type of holiday season in terms of work as things move towards Cyber Week(s) versus Black Friday/Cyber Monday… then add in the whole global supply chain issue and, well, it’s just different. I’m also personally relying on my team more than ever…
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. 🫶🏻
