I got off schedule with these diary posts again! Had a bunch of days to catch up on, but thought I’d still share some of my favorite highlights. I was so excited to get the birth announcements out the door. I love how they turned out. As soon as I saw this design, I knew…
This week was the first week where I sort of went back to work. It’s a very reduced capacity still and it feels/looks different than what I’m used to, but we’re doing it! Honestly I feel insanely (!!!) grateful that I can work from home with an incredibly flexible schedule. And having Mike home since…
What is it about baby clothes that I find to be so fun to shop for? I can’t put my finger on whether it’s because of the size, adorable patterns, or the excitement that comes with being a first-time mom. Regardless of the reason, it brings me joy! Lately, some of the brands I like…
Jumped onto my laptop really quickly to share Tuckernuck’s Friends and Family sale! It started this morning and runs through the end of day tomorrow. Tuckernuck, as you know, has been a go-to shopping source for me over the years. In addition to carrying incredible brands and styles, they’ve also expanded their own collection recently….
This was a highly requested post… What baby products did we use/need during the first month. It’s actually a question I asked myself a lot while pregnant, especially while putting together a registry. What exactly do you need for a newborn. Surely over time we’ll need more things, but what do you need in those first…
I’m a little late to posting this outfit, but this dress is too cute not to share. And I still totally wear white after Labor Day. (In fact, I think white dresses in the fall and even winter are pretty chic with the right accessories!) It’s also pretty crazy to look back on these photos. So…
While I soak up this precious newborn time, I’ve asked a few of my friends if they wanted to contribute a guest post for my blog! Today I’m excited to introduce my Insta-Turned-IRL friend, Sam. I have been following Sam on Instagram for a while and we recently met for the first time (though it felt…
I’ve been down the shore with Jack, Mike, and Mike’s parents this week. We skipped actual Labor Day weekend to avoid the crowds and we’ve just been having a lovely, low-key week here. I was pretty anxious about leaving our house and getting out of our “routine” (I use that loosely lol), but Jack adjusted…
I was blown away by your response to the summer capsule wardrobe I shared back in May. The number one request I got without a doubt was to make one for every season. If you haven’t heard about them already, a capsule wardrobe is essentially a curated set of clothing. The idea is that all the pieces…
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
