Hope everyone had a healthy Thanksgiving yesterday. I’m writing this ahead of time in the hopes that I can take a couple of days off from my computer 😉. So… I can’t really tell you how ours went, but I know it will be a different experience. It is actually the first Thanksgiving I’m spending…
I don’t know how else to say it…. but THANK YOU. This has been the wildest year and, while there’s much to fret over, there is still plenty to be thankful for too. I’m beyond grateful for this community and your support. I can’t even begin to describe it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU I’ve felt really…
This post is sponsored by Equilibria. I think even during a “good year,” the holidays can be a stressful time for a lot of people. Family dynamics, travel woes, financial strain, seasonal changes… You name it, everything seems to come to a head around November/December. As much as I love “the holidays,” I find this…
Here we are! Back again with another weekly outfit post. I can’t tell you how much it thrills me that this is becoming the most popular post of the week for the blog. It’s my favorite too and it has re-inspired me for how I feel about my own closet/clothes. It’s clear that I have…
I wanted to hop over here really quick for a bonus post today about the Lake Pajamas sale. This is their big sale of the year and the perfect time to stock up on the comfiest PJs. I’ll also answer some of the most commonly asked questions I’ve been getting in Instagram DMs. LAKE PAJAMAS…
I felt like I had all this time for gift guides on my blog and then, all of a sudden, I blink and it’s the week of Thanksgiving. I am slowly coming around to the holiday spirit. And I actually had a peppermint cookie the other day and I felt myself get a little excited!!…
I think because we got married this year and “officially” became a family*, I’ve been feeling pretty sentimental about the holidays. On one hand, I haven’t been in the mood to decorate just yet (feels like a lot of work and I’m in a bit of a seasonal funk), but on the other hand I…
Well hello, hello. We’re back today with another Diary post, where I show what I’ve been up to over the past two weeks, according to my iPhone’s camera roll. Diary No.43 Mike is on a mission to perfect the Big Green Egg grilled pizza and I am excited to go along for the ride!! I…
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 😛
