HELLO 2021 I’ve made it a tradition to create intentions for every year. Last year, I wanted to focus less on comparing myself to others and the year before that it was focusing on getting into good habits and breaking bad ones. (I also set goals every year, which I’m going to recap how I…
I don’t do a lot of deep diving on my analytics anymore. I used to be obsessed– keeping the live tally on my computer at all times but it started to stress me out. So I outsource it now and it’s so nice to just get monthly reports where I don’t have to think about…
This is my last post until after Christmas! I’m going to take some time off from daily posting. I may be on Instagram here and there but for the most part I think I’ll be stepping away for at least a week. Usually I come back on December 31st to share my favorites of the…
I cannot believe Christmas is at the end of this week!!! After such a crazy year, I have very little sense of time anymore. Especially right now while we’re basically back down to early-pandemic safety protocols– the days are blending together. Despite it being a different season of celebration, I’m still really looking forward to…
I was really excited that Sezane wanted to partner with me for a couple of Instagram posts. I have a running list of “dream partnerships” and Sezane has been on it ever since I discovered the brand. And I love everything that the French brand does. The styles are simply perfection. (And they have a…
Back with another batch of photos from my camera roll! Honestly, it’s been pretty boring around here in a nice way. Not doing much other than working and needlepointing apparently. I was going through my phone and the two most exciting things were the snow day we had this week and all the needlepoint. DIARY…
The countdown to Christmas is on!!! I can’t believe it’s only a week away. I’m really looking forward to some time off of work and being cozy at home. Just as a heads up, I’ll have a posts through the 22nd and then I’ll be back around the New Year– I haven’t quite decided what…
I am obsessed with the Theragun Mini! I ordered one a few weeks ago when it was on sale during Cyber Week and I’m so, so into it. Let’s rewind though. This is not my first Theragun! Two Christmases ago, Mike gave me a Theragun. (I’m pretty certain he bought it knowing he would be…
This is going to be my last gratitude list post of the year. I have a feeling I’ll do more in 2021, but I only have a few more posts to go live before I take a week off from posting. Putting together gratitude lists has been a bright spot throughout the year. Especially when…
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 😛
