Because I’ve been going down the shore (haha, I think I’m using that correctly 😂) nearly every weekend, I have actually been donning swimsuits a lot more frequently than I’m used to. Literally two or three times a week now I’m in a swimsuit at the beach. It’s actually making me not feel quite as…
Well hello there Friday! Last weekend I was supposed to be on Nantucket, but we had to postpone our trip. I ended up going down the shore with my boyfriend’s family and it was just a nice and low-key couple of days. I wasn’t totally feeling like myself for various reasons, so it was just…
I LOVE the Fourth of July. It has a pretty special place in my heart because we used to spend the holiday with a week vacation at my grandparent’s house on Oak Island in North Carolina. That week was always the highlight of our summer. The entire family would spend hours at the beach, participate…
This skirt might be my favorite item from J. Crew this year. They nailed absolutely everything about it. It’s truly a closet staple for summertime and can be dressed up and dressed down. Wear it to work or over a bathing suit at the beach. I really, really hope they bring it back in solids and…
Posting to Instagram is a big chunk of my job. I have a love/hate relationship with it, mostly because as a user, you’re at the whim of another company and your KPIs are broadcasted out in a public manner. Now, there’s a lot of buzz about Instagram these days because of the ~algorithm~. Yes, I…
I love this post by Maxie for more reasons to count! I also just have to brag on her for a second… I listened to a snippet of her audiobook and, ugh!, it gave me goosebumps! If you’ve ever “felt lost” with your path, it is FOR YOU. Ever since I learned that she was…
Are we surprised that I found another gingham dress that I love? These photos are from a few weeks ago actually and I’m just now getting around to sharing them. When I did a little boomerang on Instagram, I had quite a few questions about where the dress was from…. and the shoes I’m wearing!…
Somehow the post I wrote for this disappeared! I’ve never had a post get deleted so I’m wondering if it somehow got published with a different date… If you see if floating around my blog somewhere, please let me know 😉 Regardless, I still have to make sure it gets up in time for Fourth…
I flew to Nantucket yesterday morning for a girls’ trip with Ashley and then, sadly, flew back home. Something came up and so we decided to postpone the trip. I was thankful for fog-free conditions so each of us could get on our respective flights home problem-free. Can’t really share more, but I didn’t want…
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!
