Believe it or not, Easter is right around the corner! Instead of being in April this year, it’s happening on March 31, which is just crazy to think about. I wanted to round up the best Easter baskets today so you have plenty of time before the monogramming deadlines pass– top of mind for me…
Back with another week of outfits, postpartum edition. I will say, I’m feeling a bit more normal. Still can’t fit into most of my clothing (and I doubt I’ll fit into most of my shoes ever again 💔) so I’m working with a limited selection of clothing for the time being. And, I really having a…
Not the greatest month of reading for me, but it was a short month (😉) and I had a baby smack dab in the middle so I think I have a good excuse for not reading quite as much. Nevertheless, some good recommendations coming your way. THE ENCHANTED HOUR by Meghan Cox Gurdon 4.5/5 STARS The…
Rabbit, rabbit! HAPPY MARCH. When I first moved to NYC, I will never forget my first (very long) winter…. I thought surely we would have spring weather by March 1 and I remember looking out the window in my office at snow and thinking, “wait where’s spring?!” and then realizing that we were very much…
I’m two weeks into this postpartum period with Rory and I thought I’d round up some of the must-have products I’ve been relying on. Postpartum is a super personal experience though, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt. These are just the postpartum must haves have worked for me in my journey! I’ve…
I don’t know how I’ve been able to post so much since having Rory, but I have to say, it feels good! After rotating through the same few outfits at the tail end of my pregnancy and now navigating my postpartum body, I’m looking forward to the weather warming up so I can wear dresses…
I thought I’d share some of the recent things I’ve worn since giving birth nearly two weeks ago. I mostly have worn comfy clothes while home, but it’s been nice to put on the occasional “real” outfit here and there. Even though I physically feel soooo much better after my second baby, I am experiencing…
It’s taken me a bit to sit down and write this post out. I’ve been in a bit of denial that it’s real, I think. A week before Rory arrived, we said goodbye to Hamilton. Honestly, even just typing this out is making me cry all over again. Hamilton, who just turned eight at…
I don’t think I’m back officially, but I will be popping in a little bit here and there as I can for now. This year has already really tested me and I realized that I just had to pump the brakes a bit on work, especially now that Rory is here! I am so grateful…
… 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. 🫶🏻
