Oh my word am I feeling the Christmas spirit this year. Between the snowfall we had and all the decorations everywhere. I’m just loving it. I braved some big stores on Sunday (World Market, Target, HomeGoods) and despite leaving my phone behind and lines for days, I was totally loving the buzz and excitement. I’m…
Surprise! Louisa is here today with a fun roundup of holiday cookies and gifts for foodies!! The Best Holiday Cookies & Gifts for Foodies Guest Post by Louisa from Living Lou I am in full-on holiday baking mode. Once December hits, I start thinking about all of the cookies I will make this season. For…
L’Occitane has been a go-to of mine for holiday gifting (and really any gifting) for years. I’m excited to partner again with them this year to share some great gifting ideas. My mom got me hooked on the brand because she always (and I mean always) had every sink and shower stocked with L’Occitane’s Verbena soaps…
Two weeks worth of holiday fun!!! Gosh, I’m loving it this year. Seriously. We had a great game night a couple of weeks ago with Mike’s sister and brother in law. We are all obsessed with Catan– if you haven’t played it yet it could be a fun thing to do over the holidays with…
We kicked off this week with a gorgeous snowfall. The forecast called for rain but we got lucky with snow. I’m sure I’ll be sick of the snow once April rolls around (those late spring snow days are the worst), but there is something quite magical about the first of the season. And it was as…
Call me dramatic, but the window on tartan is closing! Once Christmas hits, I really believe most tartans should be “retired” until the following season. It’s such a short window where I think tartan, especially extra Christmas-y ones with red, work. And that window is closing! Time to get on it if you want to…
Confession! I almost forgot to post these photos! They somehow got buried in my pile of outfits to post and I randomly found them again. At first I almost scrapped the outfit all together because the shoes were sold out online… and I thought, what’s the point. BUT! Then I found out that there are still…
Breaking away from the normal programming because I’m just really loving this season of life. Sure, it’s lovely that it’s Christmastime and that we had our first real snowfall and that our house is decorated in its holiday best. But I’m really just happy with life right now. Not to say that life is perfect–…
For today’s Cyber Monday, I thought I’d round up ten things I have that are currently on sale!!! MY FAVORITE BOOTS, 20% Off Today I got these right before a trip to Paris and held my breath hoping they’d be comfortable. They were beyond comfortable and I walked miles and miles every single day without…
… 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. 🫶🏻
