JANUARY Q&A HOW DO YOU CHOOSE WHAT BOOKS TO READ? In my head, I’d love to say I choose books based on reading publisher news and industry press releases. You know, that I’m super on top of new releases and know the next “hot” book before it’s hot. In reality, I go willy nilly. When…
I’m a little late to posting this, but better late than never right? Is anyone else trying to read more this year? I’m not trying to read more volume wise (I made no goals this year), but I am trying to end every night with reading. I fell into a bad habit last year of opting…
I foresee another year of living in comfies. Nowhere to go… not much to do besides working from home. I also just feel emotionally on edge and the last thing I want to do is put on anything that remotely gives me discomfort. (Thankful to be able to work from home where I really can…
How are you guys doing? This week was rattling to the say the least. I’m truly just at a loss of words. I feel so tired. So drained. Disturbed. Angry. Frustrated. Sad. Terrified. Mike and I were both working in the living room so we could have the news on to watch the electoral count….
MY 2021 GOALS Ready to know what my 2021 goals are for this year??? First let’s rewind and see how I did for 2020. Considering I set 2020’s goals before we knew what 2020 would turn into, it wasn’t so terrible. First, I’m still killing my 2019 goals. My 2019 goals were mostly all about fixing my…
This isn’t a full week of outfits. Honestly? I’ve not been in the mood really at all to put on real clothes– especially while I was taking a break from work, I was ALL about being cozy at home. The big outings of the day were mostly walking the dogs so I was either in lounge…
I usually do these yearly roundups before the new year, but I didn’t quite get it into my calendar. Better late than never. It’s one of my favorite traditions– this is my twelfth year doing it– and I love looking back on past years to see how things change. Here are my favorites from 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017,…
I did more reading during the month of December than I expected to. You’d think that most of it happened after I stepped away from work, but nope! I actually wasn’t in the mood to read as much during my break at all, which was strange but I just rolled with it. WHAT I READ…
The past two weeks feel like a blur!! I feel… underwater. That’s the best way to describe it. I came into my break feeling super burnt out and, if I’m being totally honest, taking time off didn’t exactly do the trick. I still had some things lingering over my head due in January and 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 😛
