This post is sponsored by L’Occitane! For years, L’Occitane has been my go-to for gifting. I love their product line throughout the year and they really roll out the red carpet for holiday gifting. Their gift boxes are all beautiful, filled with amazing products, and ready-to-gift. If you have someone on your list who is…
Back today with another round up of iPhone pictures over the past two weeks! It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster in terms of emotions– so sticking to the highlight reel! DIARY No.44 Okay two things about this photo. The first is that this winter light situation has been so lovely. One of the things that…
Oh you know, just chugging along through December. Our tree is up! My freezer is stocked with peppermint ice cream! And I think I’m almost done with my gift purchasing– maybe just one more thing to get. I still have half of the decorations up and that may just have to be enough this year!…
I… have a pajama problem. I really do. Back in the Before Times (lol), we’d have our friends over for game nights and sometimes they’d bleed over into sleepovers– especially if it meant no one had to drive home late at night after dinner and drinking. Inevitably at some point in the night, we’d all…
Remember when I bought yards and yards of holiday fabric dreaming of all the things I’d make? L O L. I have not had the time and when I have the time I don’t have the energy. This holiday season has drained me. (And it’s only December 2!) I haven’t even been able to make my…
Some exciting updates! In addition to the new domain and branding upgrade that happened last week, I added a new category so you can go back and look through my weekly outfit posts. Should make it easier to navigate if these are the posts you most look forward to– or just need some inspiration on…
This month was a marathon for work. I did the most campaigns I’ve ever had in a single month and feel really good about managing my time for that. But it did mean less free time to read at night– or when I would finally get in bed to read, I’d be so tired that…
I love riding boots. A pair of riding boots was one of the first things I bought when I knew I was leaving Florida for colder weather in DC. My mom bought them for me during a Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and they have served me very, very well through the years. (I still have them!) They’re…
PS Today is Small Business Saturday! If you want to shop small, I highly recommend checking out my SMALL BUSINESS GIFT GUIDE! It seems like… pretty much everything is on sale right now. (I hate to admit it but I almost have sale fatigue right now 🤷🏻♀️ is that a thing?!) Every year it gets…
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 😛
