A couple of weeks ago I went to Target for the first time since the beginning of March. I’ve really been forcing myself to go into stores to get over the fear of it (yikes) but I have to admit that wandering through Target was actually nice and it was also 10am on a Thursday…
I saw this on Instagram last week and keep coming back to it. I really love pretty much everything Rupi Kaur writes, but truly this one has stuck with me. So much so that I really wanted to share it here. I’ve had many thoughts around this once we went into quarantine back in March….
Draper James so kindly sent me this dress last week. It was such a thoughtful surprise and I wore it the next day. I really love anything eyelet. I didn’t notice it at first, but this eyelet is actually a bunch of pineapples. It’s subtle but very cute. I love a good shift dress during…
One thing that has really been sparking joy for me lately is printing photos. I keep a folder on my phone with favorite pictures I want to print. I don’t do it nearly enough, but I am trying to get in the habit of printing one here and there versus feeling like I need to…
I’ve been spending so much more time at my desk. I know this sounds weird considering I have a dedicated office space. But here’s the thing. I usually end up working downstairs, particularly at our island, but now that Mike is working from home for the foreseeable future, he takes over the first floor. (Not actually,…
I’m feeling super drained this week. Can’t even pinpoint it to one thing but I’m just feeling exhausted. We’re heading back up to Mike’s family’s lake house next week and I may end up taking a few days off of blogging just to have some time away from my phone and computer. Going to play…
Like a lot of people, spending so much time in our house has made me go into a bit of a nesting mode. For the first couple of months, I was more into the organizing and deep cleaning side of things. And then most recently I went into “let’s finish some of these rooms” mode….
This is going to be kind of a funny post (at least to me!). I logged into a personal Pinterest account and discovered a private wedding board I made when I was in college/first living in NYC. It’s not that robust, but it was funny to go back through old images during what was PEAK…
I bought this dress before I got engaged but now that I have it, I’m loving it even more. I’m not sure if Mike and I are planning on doing engagement photos or not, but if we do, this dress is a top contender for wardrobe. I really wish I were at the beach wearing…
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!
