Hi! Popping in with a post I already had in the works and wrapped up during some downtime…. Clearly I’m looking forward to wearing dresses again, especially now that I’m postpartum. While putting together these spring outfit ideas, I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of the pieces are actually pretty budget-friendly – $120…
Rory Patrick Riordan was born on February 14, 2024 in Morristown, New Jersey. I have always loved reading birth stories. I wrote my own for Jack’s birth two and a half years ago and I can’t believe it’s time to share the birth story of our second son Rory, who entered the world on Valentine’s…
Today is my due date! I fully intended to keep my foot on the gas until now, but this year so far has been a lot. Losing Hamilton last week was my breaking point and I just…. couldn’t do it anymore. I’ve really just been trying to take it as easy as I can and…
Tuckernuck’s new arrivals are making me so excited for warmer weather. Lots of effortless mini dresses, spring layering staples, and cute sweaters. Here are a few of the things that caught my eye! Navy Cardigan Sweater // Raw Hem Jeans // Olive Green Jacket // Cream and Black Knit Dress // Grey Sweater Dress // Slate…
I’m overdue on rounding up Valentine’s Day gifts for guys! I tried to focus on the “greatest hits” in our household and then added in a few things that come highly recommended by friends and family. P.S. If you haven’t yet, check out my Valentine’s Day gift ideas and Valentine’s Day gifts for kids! Valentine’s…
I felt a burst of energy and filmed a Reel with my hospital bag packing list this time around as a second time mom. Before I had Jack, I personally found the lists by “seasoned” moms to be the most helpful– they’d already been through delivery at least once and packed more simply after. Even…
I’ve been an emotional wreck lately. Pregnancy is never easy for me and this pregnancy has been no exception. As we near my due date, along with just a lot of additional stress, I’m feeling extra emotional and extra sappy. I’m so excited to meet this baby and I’m just feeling a lot about becoming a…
A fresh year, a fresh start of reading! My big goal for right now has been to read a book every night. I very frequently listen to an audiobook at some point throughout the day, but I had been falling off the wagon of committing to sitting down to read every night. It’s not even…
Here’s what life has looked like the past two weeks according to my camera roll: We had a fun sleepover with our nieces one weekend! So grateful to live near them– Jack had a sleepover at their house and then the next week we hosted the girls so they could have a date night. What…
… 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. 🫶🏻
