I know it’s a smidge early for gift guides, but I wanted to get a head start on this monogrammed gift one. Due to the nature of monogramming, it’s always a good idea to get a head start on personalization. Some items can take a few weeks to deliver, so I always recommend ordering as soon as possible to ensure they are tucked away under the Christmas tree in time.
I’m breaking away from what I was going to post today because we finalized the details of a meet and greet Sarah Vickers and I are cohosting in DC. It’s going to be at Tuckernuck’s new store and should be a blast. Hope to see you there!! Thursday, November 10 5-8pm 1053 Wisconsin Ave Even…
After last week’s popular pasta round up, I’m glad Louisa is back this week with some of her favorite soup recipes. Soup, for me, is the perfect lunch on cold days when I’m working from home. But unless it’s a chili, I’m generally not making it from scratch. I can’t wait to try Louisa’s soup picks…
I know I shared a lot of sales yesterday, but I had to come back to share what might be sale I look forward to the most… PATAGONIA IS ON SALE. I repeat, Patagonia is on sale. Select styles are 30% off right now and it’s current items. Current Patagonia items rarely go on sale, so…
I finished three amazing books this week. I typically get one or two duds for every great book I read, so having three books in one week that I absolutely love is a rarity that should be remembered and documented and celebrated. The three books are pretty different too: The Lost Wife was a book…
There’s a hodgepodge of sales happening right now and I couldn’t resist sharing them here. Tory Burch Riding Boots TALBOTS // 30% off with “FRIENDS30” at checkout Talbots has their Friends and Family promotion happening right now which is great news if you haven’t purchased your tartan flats yet!!! Actually, all the shoes right now…
You know what I have to say about this week?! Go Cubs go! I’m not sure that I’ve ever watched as much baseball as I did this week. I hopped right on that Cubs bandwagon and didn’t look back. It was so much fun to watch every game, even if they were nailbiters! Although I did…
Ever since this dress arrived, I have been dying to share it on the blog. This is a home run dress. The fit is quite flattering without revealing too much. The sleeves, though. Those sleeves. I was immediately drawn to the bell sleeve and feel like royalty with them!
With the holidays around the corner, I always like to have a few outfits ready in my closet to go for parties. This dress would be great for going out with friends and could work for Thanksgiving with some booties and is, of course, perfect for holiday parties.
My hair has always and continues to be a source of stress for me. Every girl I know struggles with their hair at least a little bit and the consensus seems to be that the grass is always greener. I only know one girl, she’s my sister’s friend, who has beautiful hair without touching it. Frizz-free,…
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
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
