Helllllllo! After a much needed extended break, we’re back to our regularly scheduled posting! Hope you guys all had a great holiday season. More from me later, but for now, Maxie is sharing her tips for what you need to do before heading into the new year. 3 Ways to Reflect On Last Year (Before…
I’ve been writing this post in my head, as I do for most of my long-form posts, for the better part of the year. Of course, now that I’m sitting down to actually write it, my mind is drawing a blank. In a way, I think it’s because I know there’s no way any post…
I’m officially going on a blog break after today’s post! I usually take a full week off, but I will be back on the 26th for my blog’s 10 year anniversary which will include a HUGE giveaway (seriously, you won’t want to miss it!). This has been THE BEST holiday season to date… and it’s…
It’s as cliche as it comes, but I’m just shocked it’s the end of the year. I feel like I was just writing last year’s recap… and here we are again. This has been a big year for a lot of reasons. I feel like I experienced some of the best of the best, mixed…
I’m totally spoiling a little bit of the surprise of my Christmas gifts this year. I usually pop in after Christmas gifts have been open to share what I got everyone. (Which I’m totally doing again this year because I LOVE the gifts I bought.) But I have to share the ones I’m most excited…
I am completely obsessed with this outfit I put together. If you can’t tell… I’ve clearly been watching the first season of Gossip Girl. Blair’s style definitely is rubbing off on me when I reach for things in my closet currently, ha. It’s a mix of new items from this year with some pieces I’ve had…
OMG… how good do all of these recipes from Louisa sound?? I think the overnight eggnog French toast tops my list of things I want to try. (I’ve actually never had eggnog before, now that I’m thinking about it.) But I’ve never met a French toast that I didn’t like! 8 Classic Holiday Treats Guest…
I have very limited drawer space, so I keep all of my pajamas in my nightstand. There are two shelves inside the stand, so it actually works perfectly… I think the only problem is that I have too many pajamas. A friend was over recently, and we somehow got onto the topic of pajamas. He had…
I’ve been tapping into all of my favorite holiday wardrobe pieces lately and went super heavy into reds… but you don’t have to be fancy or stick to just reds to feel festive. In this case, I’m really wearing an outfit I would wear (aka do wear) on an everyday basis… and with the black…
… 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. 🫶🏻
