Currently writing this while my little one-week old Jack snoozes in a bassinet next to me. I’m going to work on his birth story blog post (they’re always my guilty pleasure to read and I’d love to write it while it’s still pretty fresh in my memory!). This past week has been one of the…
I have REALLY gone down an Etsy rabbit hole over the last year or so, and you guys seem to share my love for Etsy equally!! I’ve bought everything from wrapping paper to pillow covers and even the custom shades we used in the nursery. I could honestly spend hours scrolling and love discovering new…
I’ve been reluctant to share workwear in the past since every office has a different dress code, and it’s challenging to make a generalization that applies to everyone. Then if you take the last year into account, when most people transitioned to working from home, it adds a WHOLE other layer of complexity. But I…
This post is in partnership with Bloomingdale’s! I very, very rarely wear pink. Typically I wear the same colors (as you probably know) over and over again. But whenever I do wear something a bit brighter, like today’s dress, I always sit there and wonder why I don’t do it more often?! This dress is the…
Gardenia is one of my all-time favorite scents and I’ve been thinking about it quite a lot. Is there something about “nesting” that makes a pregnant person want to, like… what would I say…. re-fragrance the house? (This is definitely not a real thing, yet I’m over here wanting gardenia candles, gardenia diffusers, gardenia perfume…….
This week went by incredibly fast in some ways and inched along in others. My due date is one week from today (!!!), so baby really could come any day now. (Or it could be a couple of weeks too…. it’s becoming harder and harder to remain patient!) I had one day this week where…
Initially, I planned on sharing an under $100 style edit for today’s blog post, but I ended up finding so many cute pieces under $50 that I decided they deserved a dedicated post! I tend to shop from a mix of high and low retailers. I’ll be the first to say that I love many…
Wanted to round up some of the things I’ve recently purchased… and what I’ve got my eyes on. I put a “pause” on clothing purchases until I have the baby and figure out what I need nursing/comfort/size-wise. A lot of new factors getting thrown into the mix. It hasn’t stopped me from doing a little…
Another week, another week where not much fits. I’m doing something I try to avoid because it never ends well, but to the one person who keeps messaging and commenting that I should just wear maternity clothes…. trust me when I say, the bump has gotten so big that even the maternity clothes I purchased…
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
