October isn’t quite over, but I’m bumping up my recap of what I read because I’m posting a Halloween costume tomorrow. An amazing thing happened this month… I hit my yearly reading goal of 52 books! This has been my favorite year of reading. So many incredible books. I know my life is better for…
With the holidays coming up and already being a month into the fourth quarter, I wanted to write this behind the scenes post. I am going to be as transparent as possible. Obviously it can be tricky since some things are contractual and I don’t want to roll specific brands under the bus. And I…
UM! This may be my most favorite outfit in Prepster history. I love it so much and feel amazing in it!! Leave it to one of my favorite bloggers (and friends!) to create a perfect clothing collection. I was so happy to see that Blair is BACK with a line at Nordstrom. Blair totally one…
We’ve been having the LOVELIEST fall days. Between the peak foliage and the crisp cool (not cold) air, I am one happy lady. Every afternoon, the dogs and I have been going for extra-long walks. We have our normal loop, but I’m taking advantage of these perfect afternoons and going the extra mile. (I know…
Back today with another iPhone recap of the past two weeks. There’s a bagel shop within walking distance of our house that I love. Not going to lie, I almost always go just for the hazelnut coffee– which is amazing. I popped over there with Meghan before her train back into the city and decided to…
My sister is here for a few days! I’m so excited to show her around town and to just hang low. I think we’re going to do a Halloween type movie night– maybe throw it back to Halloweentown or one of the Harry Potter movies. Popcorn, candy, pizza. Just an old fashioned girls’ night in. (Isn’t that…
This is a little bit of a follow up to this post from the first week of October. I mentioned how versatile I thought this leopard skirt was and I totally stand by that. It’s a great skirt. The longer I have it in my closet, the more ways I think about styling it. (I’m going…
I am so excited for Halloween this year. I don’t think I’ve been this excited since high school. After we outgrew trick or treating, we had this tradition with one of our close family friends’ that we would go to their house to hang out. In middle school, that meant Razor-scootering on the sidewalk (with light-up…
Shopbop just added a TON of product to their sale section. I almost titled this, “I went through 45 pages of the Shopbop sale so you don’t have to.” LOL. I often wish when these big department stores would have a “Carly filter” and just show me what I’d actually like. That’s basically what this…
… 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. 🫶🏻
