I went back and forth on how to set up this post– whether it should be one or two posts. I actually drafted this twice and I think it’s going to make the most sense to break it up into two parts. This part will have all of the details of our wedding… and the…
If you haven’t seen the news from my Instagram… Mike and I got married last Saturday! We spent the weekend with our families and it was absolutely perfect. And then we scooted off to Nantucket for a quick little honeymoon. Honestly it was everything I could have dreamed of… but putting together the post is…
Just wanted to give you a little heads up that I’m going to be taking about a week off from everything. So you won’t see blog or social posts from me until the week of the 14th. I’m trying to be better about normalizing time off for myself. I’m usually so regimented about churning blog…
Nothing groundbreaking here today, folks. It’s me in another sweater and in my favorite skinny jeans again. Surprise, surprise. It’s really my standard uniform for when I’m working from home, year round, pandemic or not. This summer I definitely opted for a lot of “nap dress” type dresses because it was so flipping hot inside…
I struggled to get in the mood to read this month. I usually am pretty good about reading consistently, every day. But for whatever reason, I found myself reading in bursts… unable to put a book down for an entire weekend afternoon and then not being in the right mindset to read for days. It…
Today’s my birthday and I really can’t believe how fast the past year has gone. I was thinking about what I wanted this post to be about… because 31 is kind of a boring birthday. Not that exciting, but I still like to reflect on the past year and look forward to the next. I…
I am really excited about today’s partnership with Olay. I’m back to talk about Olay’s Retinol24 Night Moisturizer. I LOVED it when I tried it last year and fully believe it’s the best drugstore retinol. I couldn’t believe the transformation my skin had– it felt smoother and brighter and my actual skin tone appeared much…
I mentioned that I purchased these jeans when I did my “favorite jeans” round up a couple of weeks ago. They arrived and they are even better than I imagined they would be. I love the fit, the wash, the crop, the cut. The pocket placement is just right and the buttons are very in….
Is it too soon for another round up of masks?! This is a “life and style” blog and, frankly, right now I think masks are the most important “accessory” you can buy right now. Right now I’m realizing how much easier it is to have an arsenal of masks. I had been cycling through a…
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!
