Another week of outfits here! TUESDAY It was a full work from home day, but Mike and I had time to get lunch together! We definitely had more time for lunches together at the beginning of the pandemic but work and life have been picking up so we don’t have as much overlap we’re both…
Our heat is officially ON for the season. (Very proud of myself for getting the furnace to cooperate… last year I had to call someone to help!) The temperature has also dipped pretty low, the leaves are starting to disappear from the trees, and with the time change it’s dark!!! So, its officially time to…
So I wouldn’t say this was my best month of reading in terms of number of books, but I’m happy to report that I read what I believe will be my favorite book of the year (spoiler alert: Betty). I also went into a bookstore for the first time and, ugh, it made me so happy….
Guys… I did it. I found an official Pleasant Company American Girl costume on eBay last December with the full intention of wearing it for Halloween 2020. Yep. Having the real life girl costume was a DREAM of mine as a kid and, yea, whatever I’m no in my thirties, but that childhood dream never…
It was a pretty normal week here and I’m looking forward to this weekend. We are doing a family fun day with outdoor games. Last year we did the same thing and it remains one of the most fun days. I’m also curious to see how Halloween plays out. Our town didn’t cancel Halloween but…
We’ve been having very, very fall-y days and it’s making me so in the mood for Halloween. (I’ve also been watching Sabrina on Netflix and that’s *definitely* getting me into the spooky spirit.) Our mornings have been dark, the days have been drizzly and foggy, and I kind of love it. Normally it wouldn’t be…
Yesterday I did a second post with Factory’s plaid finds and then, naturally, J. Crew refreshed their website at some point during the day and they also released their tartans and plaids. With November officially starting this weekend, I’ll probably whip out my tartans to make this season feel special. It’s going to be a…
As I get my ducks in a row for holiday gift guides (don’t worry I’m waiting until November… otherwise it’s going to be a LONG eight weeks of content, yea?), I wanted to open up space for a post of small businesses owned by blog readers as a gift guide. I know a lot of…
Call me crazy but I feel like everyone is antsy for Christmas to be here. I legitimately keep thinking Saturday is Thanksgiving not Halloween, because the retail world bopped right into the holidays. It’s a little confusing yet… I don’t think I hate it? Usually I wait a bit to put up the holiday decorations,…
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 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
