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…
We had such a nice week last week. Honestly, it’s never easy coming home from a great trip but we are actually going back out of town next week! It was a proper summer week at home though. Super hot, lots of time outside applying sunscreen and bug spray (well it’s not spray!) and popsicles…
I am prefacing this post by saying I’m the farthest thing from a travel expert. So consider this post with a grain of salt. I’m just a mom, and a relatively “new” one since I only have an almost three year old and a five month old. Oh and I also have a difficult time…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
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.usa
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
