One phrase that I often have to remind myself is “don’t measure your progress against someone else’s ruler.” Just like everyone else, I can find myself in the trap of looking at people next to me (friends, acquaintances, strangers on the internet) and then feeling woefully behind. It’s something I’m constantly having to work on!!…
Bringing back one of my favorite dresses from last spring & summer. I loved this dress last summer and it’s BACK ONLINE! Guys it’s such a great dress and you don’t want to miss it. It’s also under $30 right now, so it’s pretty hard to beat. The dress itself is a faux wrap dress…
Happy Saturday my friends! Sharing a little peek into my last two weeks via photos from my iPhone: I popped down to Charleston for a too-short visit for Julia’s baby shower. I thought we were going to be in the middle of a move that weekend, so when I booked my flights, I went for…
Despite the cold and rain we’re still experiencing, I’ve been getting pretty excited for all things summer. Thankfully (hopefully!) things are finally starting to settle down here and I’m able to get my head above the water. The next two weeks are gearing up to be a little crazy, but the best kind of crazy!…
There is a major trend right now for raffia shoes. I spotted a few online this week and kind of fell in love. I’m a huge fan of white and nude shoes throughout the summer, and these raffia styles are even more summery and lovely. I will say though, woven raffia is definitely on the…
Last week, I had quite a few events in the city. On Friday, I met up with Carter before one of the events to shoot my outfit for the day. It has been pretty cold this May, but it was actually pretty warm (and humid) that Friday so it was nice to wear a seasonal…
I’ve always been a disciplined person. I think it’s written in my internal code. I mean, I was waking up on my own with an alarm clock in second grade and packing my own lunch for school because I wanted to no deviation of when I woke up and no surprises of what I would…
We have friends over quite a bit (well, at least once a week which feels like a lot for an introvert). And I’m absolutely terrible about hosting– I usually just defer to Mike when it comes to the food. Although, I’m really great at desserts like chocolate chip cookies and s’mores. I’m going to have to file these recipes…
Can we just talk about how darling this dress is? The Tuckernuck team is the best at curating their online boutique. When I heard they were starting their own line of clothing, I knew it was going to be good. I knew they’d be creating just the very best items that represented their brand and, ultimately,…
… 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. 🫶🏻
