Remember last week when I said I was feeling a little “holiday dread”? Well, I don’t know exactly what happened but I am SO excited now for the holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas. All the decorations, all the traditions! My sister helped me shoot a big campaign and I was hemming and hawing over whether or not…
Between Mike’s family and mine, I have a lot of special women on my list that I’m shopping for this season. Finding the perfect gift can be quite a hunt, so I wanted to create a carefully curated guide to take away some of the heavy lifting when it comes to holiday shopping this year….
My sister helped me shoot a holiday campaign last week while she was in town. (Can’t wait to share! I’m really proud of how it turned out.) Dare I say it may have helped me get in the holiday spirit?!?! At least a little bit. This is my busiest time of year and I’m also…….
Not exactly a groundbreaking week of outfits, but I am leaning hard into comfort lately. I mostly dress Jack in what I call “soft clothes” for comfort and movement and this is what I’m feeling for myself right now. I almost put on a button down one day and then was like, “why?” 🤭 LAST…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! ONE // Needlepoint Camp Maddie and I did our first “needlepoint camp” together right before the pandemic hit. We…
I struggled with reading during the month of October. I felt like I spent a lot of time reading… but I actually lost track of the number of books that I quit. I kept searching for a cozy October autumnal book and everything I was trying was just too cheesy to continue 🙈 And of…
Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past two weeks according to my iPhone’s camera roll… Our town’s fall festival was supposed to take place in early October but was rescheduled. The weather looked iffy, but it cleared up by the afternoon and we had a great time! It’s one of the best days…
I am having a little bit of a “Halloween Hangover” mixed with “Holiday Dread.” Dread maybe isn’t the right word. But I’m almost in denial that it’s November and Thanksgiving is around the corner and then Christmas will be here before we know it…. Work is kicking up and so is this pregnancy and I’m…
How is it November already! The year is flying by, but the start of a new month means another roundup of what I bought on Amazon last month. Wooden Tabletop Paper Roll // This has been a great addition to our playroom and can keep Jack entertained for hours coloring. The dispenser makes it easy to…
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 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
