What a week! We had a few fun plans and also just a lot of family time– and great weather to enjoy! It was a little bit of a tease for what’s to come. Jack is as rambunctious as ever and Rory has been waking up a bit more as he grows and grows. I am…
Whew! This second pregnancy did a number on my body. Now that I’m a month out of pregnancy, I’m feeling more at “peace” with my body– but I’m definitely facing the reality that my body is forever changed. It was already changed after having Jack… but even more so now. I’m trying not to stress about…
This week FLEW by in large part, I think, due to the fabulous weather we’ve been having. It’s been gorgeous and just so sunny and warm. Our town has come back to life! It’s the best feeling. Jack has been thriving with all the great outdoor time and Rory is also starting to “wake up” a…
I almost forgot how much of a difference an extra hour of sunlight in the evening makes! Having daylight savings back, has been so nice this week. Somehow my work day feels shorter and I love getting to squeeze in an evening family walk after dinner before the sun sets. We’re supposed to have some…
Another Easter post! After posting about Easter dresses and the best Easter baskets, now we’re diving into children’s Easter outfits. (How many times can I say the word “Easter” in a sentence?!) Although I love a theme, I don’t typically lean into the holidays too literally. Some of these picks are more on the nose,…
Another week, another batch of outfits I wore. I am so glad I’m doing these posts again because it’s pushing me to put on regular clothes every day 😉 I definitely feel better when I like what I’m wearing! LAST WEEK’S WIN: The biggest win is just realizing that we’re doing the whole “two kid”…
I was graciously invited to stay at Boram, a Korean-inspired postnatal retreat in NYC located in the Thompson Hotel in NYC. I was asked to share a Reel and stories on Instagram in exchange for my stay, but I had so many DMs about how it was from followers that I wanted to write a…
There’s nothing quite like having a newborn to make time absolutely FLY by. It’s kind of funny how slow time felt towards the end of my pregnancy– January felt like a whole year! And now I’m trying to dig my heels in the sand to make time slow down…. 😭 My needlepoint for beginners tips!…
I’m continuing with the Easter theme on the blog this week and rounding up some of the best Easter dresses for women in 2024. There’s just something about Easter that calls for floral prints and pastel hues, don’t you think? I came across some adorable pastel dresses while browsing online, which immediately excited me for…
… 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. 🫶🏻
