Last year, Mike and I made a couple of updates to our backyard. We knew we were going to be spending a lot of time back there (and felt especially grateful to have the green space to enjoy). Our backyard is teeny tiny, but we make the most of it and it’s served us well. But…
I have been in the MOOD to clean. I go through phases where I’m into it and not into… and after a bunch of months of letting disorganization take over, I’m ready to get things back in order. The “stuff” is hands down one of the most frustrating parts of this job. It accumulates even when…
This was a “busy” two weeks. I know busy is an overused term, but I have to say… in this case, it’s all GREAT stuff!!!! Finally starting to feel like there’s light at the end of the tunnel. If nothing else, we are now able to fully enjoy being outside. Mike and I have been…
How was your week? Overall it was a fantastic week of productivity and fun. Balanced all the stuff I needed to get done with some fun stuff too. Now that I’m two-weeks past my second vaccination, I felt comfortable booking a few things that I am *so* looking forward to. I got a haircut yesterday,…
This is one of my favorite outfits of the year! If I’ve learned anything so far during this pregnancy, it’s that if I’m not physically comfortable in my clothes, it’s going to be a miserable day. From head to toe, this is a winning look from a comfort level (!!!), but it also feels very…
On one hand, I know I’m watching way less television than I was before during the height of the pandemic. With nicer weather and longer days, we’re less inclined to sit on the couch (in a good way). BUT, now that I’m in the mood to needlepoint again, I definitely have been indulging in shows before…
I can’t believe it’s time for another weekly roundup. Time has been flying by; I genuinely can’t believe that we’re already in April??? It can’t just be me thinking we’re in turbo speed. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Hitting a big deadline!! Woo! I have another, bigger one at the end of this month so it was kind…
I’ve been deep into research for what to put on our baby registry. It started with a middle of the night panic over carseats and just went from there…. There is so. much. baby. stuff. I almost didn’t even know where to start. The carseat turned out to be a great starting point (decided to…
Is it too early to start thinking about bathing suits? Am I being overly optimistic that this summer will feel slightly more “normal”? Mike and I have one beach trip on the calendar and we are planning on joining a local social club that has a water element for the summer. I’m trying to just…
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
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 😛
