It seems like I’m constantly being pulled in different directions these days, and I’m SURE I’m not the only one. In case you’re not quite ready for Sunday, I pulled together some last minute Father’s Day gifts you can shop on Amazon. (Frankly, I don’t know what we ever did without Amazon. I always seem…
This week of outfits could be alternatively titled: closet staples I plan on rewearing all the time this summer. I love the thrill of new clothes, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just something really nice about the tried and trues. LOTS of repeats this week! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had such a nice family…
The Pomander Place Navy Stripe Bardot Dress is one of the best things that has entered my closet in 2024 and I need you to know about it. I’ve been trying to be very intentional as I work on adding new things to my closet in this postpartum period. Maybe it’s just being in my mid-30s…
I’m doing a campaign with J. Crew on Instagram today and I wanted to share the photos here because I just love how they turned out and I wanted to talk about the inspiration behind it. I think I’ve talked about the process of collaborations on here, but often you get a lookbook with pieces…
I wanted to do a fun round up of summer family photo outfits. These have been so fun to put together and I’ve been getting requests for more family photo outfit ideas, so I’m more than happy to oblige. It kind of feels like the old school blogging days! With our own family photos, my…
I started shopping for an upcoming trip and was having way too much fun. Needed to pull everything into a post for you guys, too! I have a feeling I’m not the only one looking for red, white, and blue ahead of the Fourth of July! TOTE // CREAM FLAG SWEATER (also love this $30…
What a fun week over here! Jack had his last day of preschool, we went to the pond every day that they were open (it’s still pre-season), we celebrated our niece’s birthday. There were dance parties, trips to the book store, special ice cream cones, and many (many!) rides down the froggie slide. Hat //…
I think there may be an unintentional theme with my Amazon purchases last month… bubbles! Bubbles have been a big hit in the Riordan household lately. We are obsessed. Santa brought Jack a toddler-sized bubble leaf blower for Christmas, and he got the classic lawn mower for his birthday, so we’ve been playing outside with bubbles a lot. I’ve been…
Fall is my favorite season, but summer is definitely the easiest to dress for. I love a dress you can throw on and go (I’ve been wearing this one the most) and the bags are always the cutest!! Adding any more to my wardrobe would be excessive….but that’s not stopping me from rounding up the…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
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
