This week was AWESOME. Just so much fun from the very beginning. The fun kicked off with a trip to the US Open. I have never been, and when Chase reached out with an invite, I said “yes!” as fast as I could. After having so much fun, I’m kicking myself for taking four years…
I’m 27 today! I’m not a birthday person; I say it every year, and it honestly hasn’t changed. I do like to do a little reflection though, on the year past and the year to come. 26 was not my easiest year. It was one of the harder ones. Not for anything super major or…
I’ve been carrying my Longchamp backpack a lot lately. It’s just big enough for an iPad, a camera, and my phone. Basically, just the essentials I need while I’m out and about. There’s something so convenient about having a backpack over a handbag; it makes life so much easier just to toss everything in and be hands-free. (Plus it’s easier on my back when it gets a little heavier!)
I rounded up a few really great looking backpacks. Some would work for school (like the Kate Spade bow one, which also comes in a gorgeous hot pink) and others are perfect for travel (like the satchel backpack) and others are a great option for work (like this leather backpack that fits a laptop).
None of these backpacks would look like you’re off to kindergarden– they’re chic!
I’ve been dying to go to Hamilton, you know, along with the rest of the world. I’ve been low-key searching for a good time to go, but couldn’t find a good night between the dogs, my schedule, planned trips, and Garrett’s work schedule. BUT, I was in the city this past weekend taking over The SmartFlyer’s Instagram…
More often than not, by the end of the day, I’m downright exhausted. I feel like I could fall asleep as I brush my teeth, and on really extreme days, I feel like I could rest my head on my dinner plate for a little snooze. I change into pajamas, slip into bed, try to close my…
I have had so much fun making videos for my Youtube channel. It’s something that I have wanted to do for a while and would occasionally dip my toes into. A little over a month ago I decided to challenge myself to doing a new video every week. I honestly love it. The filming part is…
Garrett’s good friend from college got married last weekend and we road-tripped out there to help them celebrate. I love Indiana. So many of my favorite people have ties to the state. After visiting last summer, I have been counting down the days when we could return. There’s so much I love about Indiana– like the…
Ah! So much to say this week, I don’t even know where to start. But I’ll start with something I’m excited about. The response to my post about homesickness was amazing– thank you guys so much for reaching out and letting me know you love it! After I had published it, the emails switched to “how…
When I saw this top, I knew I had to have it. It doesn’t matter that we have a few short weeks left of “official” summer. It’s a great look-alike option for the crazy expensive Tibi top and it’s still cheaper than the $78 Free People version too.

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
