Why is shopping for jeans SO hard? I always feel like I have an idea in my head of how I want jeans to look and feel and getting there can be such a challenge. Thought I’d round up my most worn jeans. These are the same styles and I linked to as similar of…
I’ve had my espresso maker for just about a year now and, let me tell you, it was worth EVERY penny. I bought it for myself for my birthday last year and hemmed and hawed over whether it was going to be worth it. It’s definitely a lot of money for a kitchen appliance. Even…
I have been getting a LOT of questions about my Invisalign on Instagram and I figured it would be beneficial to do an update here. Outfit in this post I’ll do a before/after once I’m all the way done but sharing my improved smile so far! How much longer do you have? I am still…
A reader named May recently reached out to share her wedding with me and agreed to write a guest post for the blog today! I’ve been hearing from a lot of you guys about rescheduling and/or planning weddings during the pandemic and May and I agreed that it was helpful to hear how other couples…
Even though we can’t really entertain right now, I have been going down weird rabbit holes related to hosting. I do hope the weather starts to cool off a bit so we can be more comfortable for backyard dining… but in the meantime, I’m just lusting over online listings. I’ve been trying to hold back…
This week was overall a great one, all things considered. I was doing a virtual talk with members of Black Girl Ventures on Tuesday, but our neighbors are having work done on their house and 45 minutes before I was supposed to start, the hammering had really increased. So I sent out an SOS text message…
I know it’s the state of the world right now, but I have been craving some kind of daily reassurance. I follow someone on Instagram who posts daily devotionals, but I’m not religious so while I love the idea, they don’t really resonate with me. I LOVE the idea though. (Frankly, I’d love a non-religious…
I don’t really have anywhere to wear any of these things (besides the mask) but, well, I’m eyeing them nonetheless! Blue and White Shoulder Tie Dress Tiered Dress Face Masks Short Floral Dress Floral Pajamas Blue and White Floral Maxi Hydrangea One Piece Yellow Rain Jacket Shop the Post
My mind is just blown that we’re already 1/3 through August and this year is half over. Honestly it is a bit of a relief, even if this summer was one that slipped through our fingers! I’ve been trying to relish these summer days– mostly because I can’t even begin to think about going into…
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!
