HAPPY DECEMBER! December is, for sure, my favorite of the winter months. Plaid, holiday parties, and Christmas lights everywhere? The January hits and I’m ready for spring, ha. Decorations are already starting to pop up around here in Connecticut. Living for it! While I was in Tampa, I popped into the Anthropologie store in Hyde…
I wanted to do a little recap of my trip down to Tampa for Thanksgiving. I love going down there in November when it’s freezing in Connecticut. The day before I left we had some flurries (we couldn’t stop talking about it at the gym), and I knew I was ready for some sun. As I…
Caroline was nominated by her sister for the next installment of “1 Girl, 5 Outfits.” She included a quick bio and a photo of Caroline and let me just say, I wanted to copy her outfit and find a tree with red berries! Since she’s in Alabama, Caroline had her photographer brother snap the photos and I’m…
I didn’t get these photos up early enough! Everything is starting to sell out, but I’m kind of hoping that the retailers have squirreled away the stock to save for after these Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales. If not, it’s definitely worth checking your local stores if you can to track them down.
I’m a little late to posting the Cyber Monday sales today. I had breakfast with my grandma this morning and that was definitely more important! Anyway, better late than never. I do hope you’re reading this before noon because J. Crew has an extra 10% off right now. Abercrombie // 50% off entire store and…
There are way too many times when I’ve held myself back because I was waiting for the perfect moment to start or had a slew of excuses at the ready. The key to just getting it (whatever “it” might be) done is to stop looking for perfection, stop making excuses, and to stop waiting for…
I am ridiculously excited to share this DIY. Even if you’ve never touched a hot glue gun in your life, I think this is a craft you can still do. It’s super easy and very hard to mess up. Plus, the options are endless. You may have seen the craft already on my Youtube channel…
Did anyone feel like the lead up to Thanksgiving felt more like Christmas? I think because I’m not spending Christmas in Florida and because so many shops have holiday things up already, I was quite confused. But now that Thanksgiving is behind us, that is at least until next year, I’m 100% ready to go into full-blown Christmas mode.
I have total mixed feelings about Black Friday this year. It’s definitely more of a week, which takes the pressure off of having to do all your shopping on one day. I personally love that! The other bit of it is that I know brands and retailers are going to continue to have great sales…
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
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 😛
