Okay, hands down, the major highlight from this week was Sunday. Mike’s family is so much fun– we celebrated his older sister’s birthday with good ol’ fashioned fun and games. Sack races, bobbing for apples, and velcro ball tosses. I can’t remember the last time I laughed so hard. Things, naturally, got competitive, and I was…
Today’s post comes with a bonus pic from the year 2000. (At least I’m pretty sure 2000, maybe 1999?) I just had to include it 😉 I have been pretty into leopard accessories (namely in the form of shoes) over the past few years, but haven’t quite ventured into the clothing department. In large part due…
I have been doing quite a bit of shopping for our house on Etsy. I probably go on there three times a week looking for something specific. Because I’ve been on there so frequently, I have been getting served a ton of ads for Etsy all over the internet. I have no idea who or what…
Whew! We’re flying into the fourth quarter. I am shocked at how fast this year has gone by and I feel like the holidays are going to be here before we know it. I’m trying really hard to stay in the present moment, but since this is notoriously the craziest quarter for me, I’m already thinking…
This may be one of my favorite fashion collaborations yet. Gal Meets Glam designed four exclusive shoes with Margaux. Both are brands I wear all the time. In fact, I wear a lot of my GMG dresses with Margaux shoes as it is. So as far as I’m concerned, it’s a match made in heaven! I love all…
Another end of the month, another round-up of what I read. I was all over the place book-wise. I actually am in the middle of five (?!) books right now for a bunch of random reasons so I’ve read more than the list suggests. I have a feeling October’s round-up will be extra long because of…
A day late for this one! Lots of fun things happening over the past two weeks. I was so, so excited to decorate our stoop for fall. I probably did it a little too early, but I was eager. Two straight days of 90 degrees took a toll on my orange guys so….. whoops. I’ve been…
This post is in collaboration with Serena & Lily! When Mike and I were searching for our home, having a great kitchen was pretty important to us. Mike loves to cook and entertain (and he’s rubbed off on me– now I love it too!) and every time we toured a new house, we’d dream up…
What a week! I’ve really thrown myself into various things around town to feel more “at home.” This week alone, I went to a tennis clinic with a friend, tried out a new book club, went into the city yesterday with a friend for a shopping event and dinner, and tonight I have a French…
… 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. 🫶🏻
