We’re back from the lake! We had a great time, but I am very happy to be home! Service is really spotty and we mostly unplug and disconnect up there anyway, so I didn’t get a lot of links for today’s post. It’s almost all shopping posts, but I think they’re worth it. ONE //…
I have been reaching for effortless dresses on most days lately! It’s so hot right now that I just want to be comfortable but still feel put together. It’s been a while since I last shared an under $100 dress round-up, and I found so many good options available online right now. Most of my…
August will be here in just over a week, making fall a hop, skip, and a jump away. Cardigans are, in my opinion, one of the easiest ways to prepare for cooler summer nights and create transitional fall outfits. While I have my go-to’s— this one immediately comes to mind!— I wanted to round up…
This is going to be a hodgepodge kind of outfit post. We are having a great time in upstate New York, but I have not had any down time to grab my laptop really to work with the two boys’ schedules being off while on vacation. I also really haven’t worn outfits, more like throwing…
This dress is absolutely perfect, in my opinion. I love linen dresses and this one is especially beautiful. It’s a little heavier than your typical summer linen, which makes it feel a bit more polished and structured. I love shirtdresses all the time, but they are my workhorses while breastfeeding! I can make most shirts…
Loving these late summer finds from J. Crew Factory. I popped onto the website to buy a few new polos for Jack (they’re our go-to right now) and, naturally, found myself doing a little personal browsing too. I’m already seeing the fall finds creep onto retailer websites (I just spotted Halloween pajamas!!!), but there’s still…
Hello, hello! We have had quite the week here. Mike and I went out on a double date with our friends this week. We have been dying to go to Blue Hill at Stone Barns. It was so fun and a nice night out in the middle of the week! On the other end of…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opened to the public this week and runs through August 4th. It’s a great time to stock up on staples you already love or splurge on items you want to invest in. This year I’m seeing a lot of great deals on homeware, beauty, and beyond. We’ve had our Le Creuset…
I went back through the archives and found the first post I wrote about scallops from 2013. 11 years later, I love them even more! And luckily, so do retailers. They’re such a darling detail and I wouldn’t mind scooping up all of these scallop home decor finds for our house. SCALLOP HOME DECOR BALLARD…
… 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
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. 🫶🏻
