This week was… just another week here. I definitely spent too much time watching the news, but was also kept pretty busy with work. I’m grateful for a full plate right now as it’s keeping me busy and distracted. Here’s what’s been on my radar this week: ONE // Super Simple Chicken Tikka Masala I…
Mike and I have had the Samsung Frame TV for two and a half years. It was one of the first things I ordered right when we moved into our Hoboken apartment! It remains one of the best “buys.” (I say “buys” because I actually used credit card points to purchase on Amazon– my Chase…
This is not going to be a post that resonates with everyone… but I wanted to share some of the fall fabrics I recently purchased. I don’t have a ton of time to sew right now, but mid-September I plan on getting back into the saddle. I have a couple of pillows I want to…
I bought this dress in both colors– navy (of course) and the yellow. Not all yellows are the same and this is a good one. Bright and warm. Feels perfect for late summer and will look cute with sneaks and a denim jacket into the fall. It’s such a colorful dress and honestly when I…
In high school, our “dry” workouts were held in a loaned Sunday School classroom in a very hot church. So many, very uncomfortable, hours were spent in there. It wasn’t the biggest room so ergs, the rowing machines crews train on, were kind of on top of each other. (If you’ve ever taken an Orange…
Thank you Shopstyle and Nordstrom for sponsoring this post! I’m partnering with Nordstrom today to share my beauty buys from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year. My philosophy when it comes to sales is to stock up on things you know you use and use it as an opportunity to splurge on something you’ve been…
Another two weeks for the books. These flew by even faster than normal. Summer really seems to be slipping away… I’m just not really ready for fall. I have a tiny collection of Susan Gordon pottery. I love her little dishes. When I saw that they were launching a line of hydrangea dishes, I set…
I can’t even tell you how relieved I am that it’s Friday. The week started off strong and then took a dip. It was an emotionally draining week to say the least. By Wednesday night I was at a 0% energy wise. I’ve been working out but haven’t even been in the mood to read…
I hate to admit it, haha, but I’m a full blown Peloton convert. I’ve been getting a LOT of questions regarding the Peloton (from current users and maybe-future-users) so I thought I’d put all my initial thoughts into one blog post. If you’re looking from advice from a spinning-pro, this is not for you. But…
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!
