It was a return to normalcy for our family this week. Regular daycare and preschool days for the boys, back to work for Mike and me. I spent some time planning out my schedule for the next few weeks and then trying to look ahead (as much as I can) to goal set and kind…
I usually share my top sellers on Instagram, but I thought it might make sense to start rounding them up here on the blog monthly. I always enjoy seeing the products you all were most interested in, and since these products tend to also be things I get asked about most, I’m hoping putting everything…
I wasn’t planning on talking about Valentine’s Day quite yet– there’s still so much I’m going to share about 2024! But brands started launching their collections right after New Year’s and it’s all just darling. What’s great about this holiday is that because hearts are such a universal symbol, a lot of it can be…
Easing back into my outfit posts this week! Not only did I take some time off from working, I also kind of took some time off of getting dressed. Did I put clothes on every day? Yes. Was it pretty comfy clothes every single day? Yes. Did I wear somethings more than one day in…
HELLO! I’m back after quite an extended break from blogging. It wasn’t exactly a relaxing break with all of the holiday festivities, regular parenthood life, and the 4,000 illnesses that were circulating! Regardless, it was nice to step away from work! I’m writing this on Sunday night and I will say that pretty much up…
This post is sponsored by Audible! This year, I completely fell in love with audiobooks all over again—and I owe it to Audible. As someone who’s constantly juggling kids, work, and everything in between, I don’t always have time to sit down with a book. Audible has become my secret weapon for fitting reading into…
This holiday season has been one of the busiest for me yet. I’ve been juggling staying on top of work and wanting to squeeze in as much magic for the boys as possible while also trying to check off all the usual things from my to-do list. Needless to say, it’s catching up to me, and…
We are SO CLOSE to the finish line! I’m looking forward to taking some time to recuperate after a long year, spend some quality time with my boys, and maybe (if I’m lucky!) even sneak in a nap or two. Heading into a new year, I’ve been reminded about the phenomenon that is guided journals….
This past week was an absolute doozy. We got through though and we had lots of sweet moments to enjoy, which makes it all worth it. (At least that’s what I’m telling myself right now…) LAST WEEK’S WIN: I saw Wicked! Jack had his first school performance! We went to the holiday train show while my…
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL. Right now, eligible new subscribers can sign up to get your first 3 months of #Audible for $0.99/month! #AudiblePartner #amazoninfluencer @amazoninfluencerprogram
Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
Moisture rich balm + Ritual Oil + Balancing Mist
(Why has no one been using this song for this trend? Literally all that I hear whenever I see another “ins and outs” trend 😆)

Yes, I’m an iPad adult now ✌🏻 I have been feeling all over the place with how I stay organized. In a dream world, I’d have a good ole fashioned paper planner, but I need something digital that I can access wherever I am and set alarms and reminders and appointments in my digital calendar. Kicking the new year off with a fresh iPad in the hopes that it helps?? Kind of felt like back to school shopping with fresh school supplies (but more expensive lol)… here’s to an organized twenty twenty five!! 🥂
PS I am trying out @goodmondayspaper on @goodnotes.app and went with an 11” iPad Air!
