I think a good 40% of my stress around traveling revolves around packing. (Another 50% is usually from having to leave my pups behind!) I am, for sure, a homebody by nature. I like to be in my space with all of my things. A mantra I repeat to myself over and over again is…
I was in the city a few weeks ago for two meetings. I try to coordinate it so everything I do in one day is in relatively the same area (or at least easy to take a subway to/from) so it’s easier to get around. My worst nightmare is something in the West Village followed…
Thank you ZYRTEC® for sponsoring this post! I have been pretty open about my feeling overwhelmed by the transition from Connecticut to New Jersey. Living with my boyfriend has been the best, but we had so many troubles with the apartment that I thought I was going to lose my mind at more than one point. Thankfully…
I LOVE a great salad in the summer. One year while I was home for the summer, my mom and I decided that we were going to make salads at home every day and perfect our recipes. For some reason, I feel like salads always taste better when other people make them. But they also taste…
If fall lasted longer than two weeks, it would be my favorite season. There really are only a handful of days that are perfectly crisp, where the evening sun hangs on for a few extra minutes, and the leaves are gold but still have life in them. But since fall’s so fleeting, I think I…
I have had Amazon Prime since I was in college and I have remained a member ever since. There have been years where I didn’t utilize it enough, but now that I’m in Hoboken, I find myself placing orders all the time. One thing I really miss about Connecticut was being able to easily drive…
Hello Friday! I don’t know if it’s something that happens in other parts of the country, but Fridays in/around NYC are dubbed “Summer Fridays” and things shut down early for the weekend. We kind of did this at my old job, but I know some of my friends have the entire afternoon off or they’re…
During our quick visit to Nantucket a couple of weeks ago, we had one perfectly warm afternoon that was fit for a trip to the beach. Packing a bathing suit at all was wishful thinking, but it appears that it brought us good luck with the weather. It would be such a shame to visit…
One of my favorite quotations is, “Friends are family you choose for yourself.” Remember when making friends was just… easy? You’d show up to first grade and it seemed like friends were everywhere. Maybe you sat at the same table, or were in the same soccer program, or (if luck would have it) your moms…
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!
