We’re (!!!) finally coming up on those hard to dress for (but oh so lovely) “in between days.” Where it’s springy but still nippy out. Winter clothes feel too wintery and spring clothes don’t seem right either. It’s a little bit of a challenge, but I also kind of love it because it’s forcing me…
I am all about a good morning routine. Mine changes every few months, but finding something that really works for me ensures that I’m set up for success for the rest of the day. I would prefer to wake up an hour earlier to make sure I had a calming morning that made me feel good…
I’m so excited to introduce Mike today! Mike and I were set up on a blind date by a mutual acquaintance. It was actually the only blind date I’ve ever gone on so I feeling pretty apprehensive. I had one photo and a brief description, but otherwise, I was going in blind. I was living…
This is slightly all over the place, but I hope you still enjoy these little tidbits from my iPhone! I was in Jackson Hole for five days, so most of my iPhone pictures between my last Diary post and this one made it into that travel post. I walked by this flower stand at a…
What a week! I got back from Jackson Hole on Monday and hit the ground running getting back on track. I forgot to include this matching photo with my mom. She went to Jackson Hole in 1972 with the Girl Scouts. My parents and my aunt and uncle traveled to Jackson Hole last fall and…
Last Thursday, I flew out to Jackson Hole to meet up with my boyfriend and two of our married friends. He went out the previous Saturday and skied Jackson Hole and Big Sky (and got stuck in Idaho Falls due to snow for two days, too). Quite the adventure! I’m always down for a ski…
I’m really feeling the mom jeans look lately. I love the higher waists and wider cut legs. It’s so funny to me how jeans come in and out of style. I remember in high school when I thought for sure I would never wear skinny jeans… and it’s pretty much what I’ve worn exclusively over the…
This year, I’ve been making little changes to my everyday life to make more sustainable choices. I’m not perfect and I have a long way to go, but I’ve found that even making one small change can snowball into another. I’m excited to partner with thredUP on this post because it’s another way I’m choosing…
I am pretty lucky to work from home and to have it pretty easy for lunch. Often I go out to a little cafe just to get out of the house. However, if I have a good option at home, I do like staying in and being extra productive. Louisa is here today sharing great…
… 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. 🫶🏻
