Anyone else get in the mood to change your iPhone’s look? I used to change it all the time but now I stick to one for a while. There are so many cute options out there right now though that I’m tempted to start switching it up more. Right now I’ve been all about this monogram…
This was supposed to be a big week of moving but everything has come to a screeching halt. I’ll share more when I can, but you know life. Never goes quite like you planned 😉Despite the frustration and some disappointment and plenty of eagerness, I’ve been looking for silver linings and this week was chock full of…
I live pretty close to a park where a lot of kids go after school. Now that it’s warm out pretty consistently, the ice cream trucks have descended onto the park. One afternoon there was a line down the block with eager kids (and parents). The temptation is real. Mister Softee just brings me back all the…
J. Crew just launched a new line of sneakers and omg they are cute. I actually bought them and before the pair I bought arrived, J. Crew had sent me a pair as a surprise. Made my whole day! I live in white sneakers all summer long so I was excited to try this new pair. (My Supergas…
This is not going to be an entirely comprehensive post of money management tips. Of course, with just about anything, there is always more to learn and know. I did want to share my thoughts on personal finances though after writing the post about loving my car. I also have to put the disclaimer out…
Quitting has a bad rap. Most of the time, I agree. It can mean giving up, and giving up for the wrong reasons is not the best way to move forward. Quitting the rowing team in college was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make. I knew I needed to quit and that it…
Somehow we’re a week out from Mother’s Day and I’m clearly behind. (In my defense, April seemed to fly by, right? I’m in disbelief that it’s already May!) Rounding up a few things that I think would make perfect Mother’s Day gifts: Slip Silk Eye Mask // White Tea Vanilla Orchid Perfume // Ceramic Canister …
Bonjour ! Back with another Diary post today. One fun thing I’ve noticed about doing this every two weeks is that it makes me reflect on how much fun stuff happens. I, like everyone else, gets caught up in the mundane aspects of life. But going back and collecting positive moments from the past two…
This week didn’t go as planned. We were supposed to be moving, but things have been delayed (wah!) and we’re now on hold. I’m so excited that being patient is proving difficult. The silver lining is that I hadn’t planned a single thing for this entire week so I’ve had so much more “free” time…
… 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. 🫶🏻
