If you’ve been a longtime TCP reader, you’ll definitely remember my friend Victoria, also known as “Little V.” She and I were great friends in college and roomed together my junior year. She graduated a year before me and my senior year was 100% not as fun without her on campus!!! Victoria was overseas getting…
We have lived in Connecticut for just over a year. This year has flown by!!! I’d say it’s gone by too quickly, but I think it went so fast because it was filled with so much good. It feels like living in the city was a lifetime ago. I remember feeling a little apprehensive about…
As I’ve learned a lot more about cooking and realized how much I really enjoy it over the past year, one of my regrets is that I didn’t pick it up sooner. I always seemed to have an excuse for why it wasn’t possible, when in reality it definitely was– including my years in college!…
I’ve honestly been pretty bad with my shopping lately. Normally this is my least favorite time of year to buy things because it’s peak heat, but fall stuff is coming out. (Why people… WHY!?)
Well, I’ve still managed to find a few things I just couldn’t resist. Some practical and some just for fun:
After meeting Kiel and Sarah’s new puppy Bennie while on Nantucket, I knew we had to get a puppy playdate on the calendar ASAP. I wanted Bennie to meet Ham and Ted before she outgrew them (which is going to happen in, like, two weeks). Somehow we found a date that worked and so the four of us– plus the pups– met up in Westport for an afternoon of dog fun.
If one more person says they’re ready for fall weather, I’ll scream. Yes, this week was miserably humid and hot. (I think it was worse than Florida at certain points… Suffocating really.) But still. Summer is my favorite. And as much as I love fall, I know I’m going to miss these hot summer days…
I thought I’d give a little update on the pups today. I’ll be upfront about two things… One, I love little Hamilton in a way I didn’t think was possible. I was apprehensive about a second dog, mostly because I wondered how I’d love another dog as much as I loved Teddy. But… two, the…
I’m kind of dying over all the school supplies available right now. I have a surplus of notebooks and notepads and pens, so I would love to live vicariously through you. ?
Here are some of my favorites:
The minute I saw this dress I knew I had to have it. Shirtdresses are my go to style, especially during the summer. I wear one at least once a week. They’re just too easy to throw but make you look put together.
I have a closet full of plain white or blue, striped, seersucker, etc. shirtdresses. I had to add this popsicle print into my collection. It’s “fun” without being over the top. Just a warning, if you wear this dress, be prepared for everyone to exclaim, “Omg, are those popsicles?!” throughout the day!!! (I secretly love it.)
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
