I’ve been kind of in an anti-shopping mood. Other than trying to get my hands on the comfiest loungewear, I haven’t felt inspired to buy “cute” things. After last week with the great weather… I’m genuinely feeling hopeful! And I know we’ll be able to start socializing outside again…. or maybe I’m just being overly…
Here’s the past two weeks according to my camera roll. It’s been such a nice, sunny stretch and it has done wonders for my mood! DIARY No.51 Hamilton really loves to snuggle and get comfortable. I love finding him around the house in just the funniest, cutest positions. Just thought these vegetables looked so beautiful…
Happy Friday! I wanted to give a big plug to the Whole Foods’ tulip selection. They were on sale this weekend and I picked up a couple of bunches on a whim. They didn’t look that special in the store, honestly, but they have been blooming in the most beautiful way!! The picture below was…
I’ve been sharing quite a bit of my needlepoint obsession over the past couple of years. My friend taught me right before a trip to Nantucket. I was hoping for one project to relax with while vacationing… and ended up with a full-blown addiction. Especially with the pandemic last year and not having a lot of…
My latest Dudley Stephens turtleneck arrived and it was love at first sight. This is a Tuckernuck exclusive color and let me tell you, it’s hands down my favorite one so far. I don’t wear a ton of color, but I do love a good green. This sage is absolute perfection!!! It’s also a great choice…
Wow! How is it another Tuesday already? I have some big deadlines hanging over my head right now and it’s crazy how quickly things fly by when you have to get a big task done. I’m not mad about it because I do hope it helps me survive these last weeks of winter! I will…
Becoming a mom, no matter how that looked, has always been something I wished for. It sounds dramatic and maybe not even the most “2021” thing to say, but I genuinely feel like motherhood is a calling. I vividly remember going to visit my mom in the hospital to see my little sister Stacy for…
This review has been a long time coming. It’s one of the most frequently asked questions I get over the past year…. Is the Hill House Nap Dress worth it? I’m going to do this as a Q&A set up based on a lot of the questions I get: IS THE NAP DRESS WORTH IT?…
I’ve been so bored with my wardrobe. Like, so bored. I’m struggling a little bit with body image during pregnancy (apparently very common and working with my therapist on it) and I think that’s playing a large part in how I feel about my clothes… and how I feel in my clothes. (But honestly whoever…
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 😛
