Out of all the seasons, I like shopping for dresses to wear to a summer wedding the best. There’s usually more dress code flexibility, so you have a better chance at getting a lot of wear out of them. Plus, you can play with the colors and prints! Working on this roundup was so much…
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another post week of my outfit posts! LAST WEEK’S WIN: I started a new workout program that I’m really excited about. I have been cobbling together workouts just depending on my mood for the day since returning to working out after having Rory. It was working for me at the time…
A funny little story from Jack to get this post going… Jack is turning three in August and he is super, super curious. He’s always asking questions and trying to better understand things and sometimes it even makes me take a step back and wonder WHY things are the way they are. We have been playing a…
I have had the daybed in Jack’s room for five years (side note: how crazy is it that we moved into our house five years ago???) and it’s had the same bedding almost the entire time. Simple sheets and a light coverlet with punchy pillows. It originally lived in the third bedroom, which was my…
Happy Friday! May is cruising right along. This week was a good mix of work and fun. We even played hooky and took the boys into the city on Tuesday. We had wanted to go over the weekend, but the weather was pretty crummy. I’m glad we waited for a gorgeous day! The four of…
Effortless tops styled with jeans have been my go-to outfit most days this spring. I love a cute top that elevates jeans and makes me feel put together but still comfortable. This Doen top was a best seller for my IG last month, and I get questions about it every time I wear it! I first fell…
Happy almost-Mother’s Day! The weeks have been flying by recently and it’s hard to believe that we’re already a week into May, not to mention just a few days out from Mother’s Day. If you haven’t had a chance to get your gifts, the clock is ticking! I rounded up some last minute gifts for…
I actually couldn’t believe it was time for this post again… last week flew by! LAST WEEK’S WIN: The biggest win was probably that we had a few great nights of sleep! With an 11 week old and a toddler and a dog, this felt like a truly miraculous event. Everyone slept through the night 🙏🏻…
Kind of a terrible reading month for me in terms of amount. Between traveling, Rory waking up out of the newborn fog, and just life speeding back up, I haven’t had as much time. And I know it’s actually a time thing because I have removed and limited so many distractions on my phone so…
… 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!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
