Yesterday I did not post on here and on my social. Instead, I took the day to reflect and learn and listen. As a white woman, I know I have more to do to help amplify Black people, voices, and businesses, but I also think it’s important that it doesn’t become a “performance” or just…
Today’s the day! I have been working on creating fifty face masks to fundraise for No Kid Hungry and making even more to donate locally. When it became clear months ago that hospitals wouldn’t have enough PPE for medical professionals, my heart broke. How horrible to have doctors and nurses helping people without proper protection to…
How is it already the end of May? I finished four books in May. Not terrible, not great for me… but I’ve been calling my mom during walks instead of listening to books and my new sewing habit has taken over the free time I’d otherwise be reading. I will say, I have LOVED Book…
Since summer is right around the corner, thought it’d be a good time to let you know about my fave sunscreen Supergoop. I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens over the years. I highly, highly recommend Supergoop. (Pretty sure I first tried it while skiing once– the resort had giant stands filled with sunscreen and it…
Another week down, at the very least? Mike and I had a low-key Memorial Day at home. It was actually nice to just be here and not have to drive anywhere or deal with traffic. I worked on sewing a dress, which was a great distraction. I had so much fun sewing it though, I think…
I have been semi-expecting this rollercoaster to feel easier, but it’s not exactly. I will say I am having more days that feel “normal” (as in I’ve adjusted to the new normal), but the lows are worse. I thought things opening back up would help but it really hasn’t, for me at least. It’s so strange…
About twice a week, I have the energy and motivation to put on “real” clothes. Other than that, I’m hanging out in casual things. Because of this, what I’m buying clothing-wise has changed quite a bit. I’m not buying much at all, but if I do buy something it falls under the “cozy” category. With…
This is a very 2020 post for me. I’ve been on a major DIY/crafting kick. It started last year but now that we’re in quarantine, it’s only increased. It’s my favorite way to keep busy. Mostly because it gives my hands something to do besides endlessly scrolling through my phone. Things are slowly starting to open…
Now that the unofficial start of summer is here but typical summer plans are likely on hold, Mike and I have been trying to make being at home feel like a vacation. It doesn’t always go perfectly, but it’s nice to try and it still feels like a nice break. Here’s what we’ve been doing and…
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!
