I have more swimsuits than days I actually wear swimsuits. Hopefully, I’m not the only one with this problem. I like to have options, though. Modest one-pieces for more athletic endeavors or trips with family, flirty one-pieces when I’m feeling fun, and cute little bikinis are always a good idea. One style that I’ve been super…
Admittedly, I’m not the trendiest person. I wear what I like, even if it means wearing variations of the same things over and over again, which I am very much guilty of doing. It’s not that I don’t appreciate trends though; for the most part, I do. I look enviously at girls who can pull…
Two weeks ago, Louisa and I actually got together for coffee while she was visiting NYC. I couldn’t believe that after all these years (a stint of contributing to a digital magazine and then four years of guest posting!) we still hadn’t met. It felt like we had already known each IRL. Loved her so…
My inbox has been flooded with graduation gift ideas. My parents gifted me furniture for my first apartment. I couldn’t think of anything better. Sometimes I wish I had opted for something a little fancier like a piece of jewelry, but not having to spend money the first week of moving into an expensive (for…
I had to all caps the title of this post because, um, it’s a gingham cake. Originally hadn’t planned on dedicating a whole post to this. I’ve been trying to keep my Youtube content separate (although if you want to subscribe, please do! two new videos go up every week!) I met Stephanie Nass at an…
I’m more than a little obsessed with this outfit. There is nothing quite like a white tee and jeans in my opinion. Easiest outfit ever? Yes. But also the easiest to accessorize with because it’s such a “blank slate.” Talbots sent me these gingham bow sandals and they have just been sitting pretty. I have been…
It doesn’t matter who you are, at some point, everyone experiences a tough day in one form or another. I wish it wasn’t the case, but life isn’t always “rainbows and butterflies.” Maxie has seen me through a few rough days and I’ve seen her through a few of her own. Loving her tips here…
I can’t remember the last time I posted the books I finished, which means it’s been far too long. I’ve cut my nightly reading time in half because I am very much enjoying rewatching The Office; I look forward to watching a bit every night so I’m okay knowing that I’m not reading as much as I…
Have you guys made the switch in your closets from cold to warm weather clothes? I was a bit premature in doing it, but I had so many velvet and flannel pieces that I couldn’t wear from a seasonal perspective. So I figured I’ll be extra prepared for when we have (actual) warm weather. One…
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!
