I wanted to share some of the things currently making me happy. As you know, I’ve been trying to take things one day at a time as part of my yearly intention. I’ve been definitely feeling a little off lately– fully related to the weather (cold, snow) and the pandemic. Nothing major, but enough to…
After scrolling through the J.Crew new arrivals section every Tuesday for weeks, we finally get some new stuff to pore over. Obviously this is not like real breaking news, but I found it pretty thrilling during an otherwise boring week around here. (It’s the little things nowadays, right?) J.Crew has definitely leaned into this more relaxed…
Tuckernuck’s first ever online sample sale is currently live! They usually do it in person in the DMV area, but opted for a virtual one. I’ve never been able to attend their in-person ones, so I was excited to get to shop it online this year. Right now there is no wait and it seems…
A super casual and cozy week of outfits, bare feet and all! We barely did anything this past week… which definitely seems to be the new winter normal. It felt VERY cold too with lots of on and off flurries. No snow accumulation, but we’d get these dark clouds move over and then flurries almost…
I’ve been experiencing a case of the “winter blahs.” Besides getting out with the dogs and taking them for extra long walks during the warmest part of the day, putting on cute outfits really helps lift my mood. I think it’s a bit of a mental trick because we have nowhere to go and nowhere…
It’s high time for another playlist! I’ve been spending so much time on my computer lately. I typically spend a lot of time on my computer but my screen time has been through the roof while I work on a big project. I’ve been rotating through this latest playlist and I just love it. It’s a…
I was thinking about how Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It’s not a holiday I feel compelled to celebrate, but this year I’m feeling like we should. I want to send cards to my girlfriends, maybe do something special with Mike, put together something cute for our nieces, and who knows, maybe I’ll…
What a WEEK. I really don’t have anything personal to add, other than to say that I watched the inauguration with tears of relief streaming down my face. I have had the hardest time focusing though between the days leading up to the inauguration, then I barely got anything done (whoops) on Wednesday, and now…
I’d love to know what your work set up is right now. I know some professions don’t allow working from home and I do know some people who were working from home are now back in the office. Or some kind of hybrid situation. Or work from home indefinitely. I have friends and family who…
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 😛
