It feels funny to be writing this right now. It’s currently chilly and rainy outside and dark and cozy inside my apartment. It certainly doesn’t feel like the time of year when you should be making summery purchases. BUT, the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale launched this morning!!! Even though we’re close to fall, this…
Oh, these quick and easy recipes from Louisa this week sound delicious! Despite my belief that we still have a couple weeks left of summer, fall temperatures crept in this weekend. (I legit had to wear a coat two days in a row 😩.) It was so chilly and rainy yesterday that we did sandwiches…
I have been pretty great about taking care of my skin lately. I drink plenty of water. I get enough sleep. I never go to bed with makeup. I (pretty much always) moisturize before bed. But last week, my skin was not great. At all. I didn’t have breakouts necessarily (my usual skin culprit), but it…
I was looking through a list I had made about things I wanted to do in NYC during the summer. One of the things that I have been dying to do but just hadn’t gotten around to it was visiting DŌ in New York City. The bakery “went viral” in the past couple of years for…
Happy Friday! This has been such a fun week. It’s always nice to kick off with a holiday on Monday. We hosted a backyard barbecue, which was quite fun and forced me to deep clean the apartment. (Nothing like having friends come over to be inspired to clean, ha.) I spent Tuesday playing catch up; I…
I attended a fun event with Nordstrom’s 1901 brand a few weeks ago. I got to meet some of the team behind the brand, which is always such a treat as a blogger. We got a sneak peek of what’s to come (fall styles look amazing), but I wanted to share the skirt I wore before…
I read some amazing books this summer. I love to read year round, but there is something extra great about sitting down with a book during a slow summer day. (Probably only second best to a snow day spent reading.) In today’s post, I’m going to share books I read, what I’m currently reading, and a…
Now that Labor Day has come and gone (😢), summer is on its way out. I will say though, that I am staying FIRM in the camp that summer is still here for a few weeks. It’s still hotter than ever here and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to change anytime soon. It feels…
Ugh, how many times have you felt like you had NO clue what you were doing? Whether it was feeling stuck in between things, feeling inspired with where you were, or (the worst, in my opinion) feeling like a complete imposter! The thing is… it’s okay. It’s NORMAL to feel this way and it doesn’t…
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… 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!
