Last year, Stubbs and Wootton asked me if I wanted to do a shoe collaboration. Stubbs were the first pair of shoes I ever “splurged” on. They are known for their iconic smoking slippers. Each shoe has its own personality and once you get one pair, it’s hard not to want to collect all the…
As you can tell from the title… we’re having a BABY!!! Baby Riordan is due this August. Mike and I could not be more excited to welcome our first child into our family. I have felt a calling to become a mother since childhood and it feels like a dream come true. And I can’t…
Welcome to another round up of my recent iPhone pics! Kind of a fun round up of photos. I think we definitely made the most of being “at home” lately. Diary No.49 I crack up every time I pick Teddy and Hamilton up from the groomers. They get so fluffy. We love our groomer here in…
This week was kind of a hodge podge of highs and lows. I started counting down the days to the weekend early, which is never a great sign. However… I am really looking forward to this weekend. We’re not big Valentine’s Day people and the pandemic has changed our minds about it this year! And I’m…
Maybe it’s because I’m rotating through the same few wardrobe items, but I’ve been feeling like getting a few more iPhone cases. Really, it’s such a strange shopping “itch.” So many things feel totally useless right now. I have used the same handbag literally since last March– only one day did I decide to commit to…
I wanted to share a few things I’ve watched over the past couple of months in case you’re looking for something to add to your queue. I’m still slowly but surely working my way through Sabrina on Netflix and Brothers & Sisters (on Hulu)… I have been trying to read more instead of TV, but obviously haven’t eliminated the…
This round up is pretty much the same ole, same ole. I know it’s a little boring, but this is just what I’m really wearing. I definitely feel better when I get dressed… but we also got buried with snow multiple times this past week and I still have nothing to do and nowhere to…
You know when you click on one link from Pinterest or wherever and then you start seeing it everywhere? Either from targeted ads or confirmation bias?! Well when I started looking at Jenni Kayne sweaters, then I started seeing them everywhere. On Instagram, on Facebook. On blogs I read, on Pinterest. I couldn’t stop drooling over…
My friend Grace just did this post last week and I loved reading her responses. I am going to steal her post idea! After reading her post, I was sitting there really trying to dream up what I was looking forward to the most “after.” I’ve been trying to just take things one day at…
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 😛
