TURNING THE PAGE I couldn’t let this day go by without acknowledging it here. Back in November when Biden officially won the election, I sighed the biggest sigh of relief and felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. When talking with friends, we all collectively agreed that we hadn’t realized just how much…
Another round of my favorite post of the week… a look at my daily outfits! Another wintery week of cozy outfits that very few people saw in person. Since I imagine that most of my weeks for a while are going to look similar, I wanted to add a fun layer into these weekly posts…
I think starting fresh with a new year inspired me to eat better lunches. I totally got lazy during this pandemic and just started doing English muffins and eggs almost every day… or leftovers from dinner the night before. So I kind of started to get sick of it honestly. This chicken arugula salad couldn’t…
An outfit post!!!! I have not been in the mood to shoot an outfit post. This happens every January– so it’s not totally a pandemic thing. I just find retail is quite boring during January. Other than “resort,” it’s mostly old items left over from fall/winter on sale. And resort is not very inspiring to…
I barely have any photos on my camera roll right now from the last two weeks. It’s just been a lot of the same so nothing too interesting to note. I had a large number of screenshots from Instagram to send to friends for inspo, too many photos of our TV because I just couldn’t believe…
Just a lot more of “the same” around here this week. Mike and I are definitely starting to feel a little stir crazy. Trying to get out as much as possible– walking the dogs, just going for a walk, driving through to get a coffee. With the excitement of Christmas behind us, I think the…
Guys! Louisa from Living Lou is back today with a guest post. I selfishly reached out to her and asked if she wanted to do a recipe round up for the new year. Now that it is freezing out, dining out (during a pandemic) is harder than ever. Mike and I would try to go out…
(Had to push this a day for yesterday’s sponsored post, but back to the usual Tuesday schedule next week 🥰) Another week, done. Does anyone else feel like we’ve already lived through a good chunk of 2021? I’m in denial we’re only under two weeks into this year. I’m already tired. Anyone else? WEEK OF…
This You Need a Budget review is sponsored by You Need A Budget. Remember how I just talked about how proud I am for setting up my life with my financial advisor? Well I have a confession to make. While I work with him for my savings and retirement planning and overall “big decisions,” my…
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 😛
