I have been on the hunt for “cute tops” lately. I have plenty of dresses, and more sweaters than one girl could ever need. But cute tops?! So difficult to find. (At least for me!)
This eyelet bell-sleeved top caught my eye while out shopping. I loved the eyelet and the sleeves, of course.
Happy Saturday! My friend is coming out to CT to spend the day with the pups and me. We have our eyes set on chips and guacamole and tacos. And we’re taking the dogs to the beach too. (I can’t even tell you how fun it is.) I’m getting some work done on Sunday since I’m taking the majority of next week off for a trip out to San Francisco!
I just had to look at my calendar to see what on earth I’ve done all week. It’s been such a blur. On Monday I felt like I was in a fog all day, although I tried to keep doing my regular “life” stuff. I feel like I say this every week, but my workouts…
Ah, it’s officially my favorite time of the year… I love this cooler (not cold) weather. Beyond wearing boots and sweaters, I love this time of year because it’s ideal for outdoor activities with the dogs. I spend a lot of time outdoors with the dogs between our daily walks and trips to the park…
My mom was always baking the best things when we were kids. (She still bakes daily actually!) She has a few tried and true recipes that became hits with family friends, and they’d be in heavy rotation throughout the year. I think each of our family friends has a particular favorite that they request whenever…
A couple of years ago I found the perfect plaid scarf at Target of all places. I actually think my sister found it if my memory serves correctly. It really was the perfect plaid, and I’ve been searching for a similar option ever since I put it on my blog. Every fall, I start to get inquiries about where to get that particular scarf. I have tried to find similar ones throughout the years, but they’re never quite as cute.
I found a super similar one today though! (It’s the “Ivory Multi Plaid” option and I also love the “Bright Scarlett Plaid.”)
Every September, I start looking forward to apple picking. I don’t even know why it makes me so happy, but it does.
This year, I went with Carter to take some fun photos and to bring some apples home, of course. I actually had so many apples that I had bags to give away to my friends! (Don’t worry, I saved quite a few for myself!)
Oh gosh, YES. This guest post from Maxie is something we should all be considering. When I think about what I have time for and what I don’t, I’m really saying, these are my priorities, and these are not. I’ve personally been doing my own exercise of priorities this year and I realized where I had…
HAPPY OCTOBER. How on earth is it October already? I swear it feels like it was May about a week ago. October is one of my favorite months for outfit planning because #plaid. But also because I can dip into my cool weather wardrobe without having to bundle up. To celebrate the new month, I’ve rounded up twenty…
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 😛
