I’ve recently been making a concerted effort to really be who I want to be. I think between years of the pandemic and simultaneously becoming a mom during that time, I kind of fell off the tracks. Especially now that I’m pregnant again, I realized I had been cutting corners in so many places in my…
This is my uniform right now. I’ve always been a “jeans and sweater” kind of girl and I wasn’t sure how this would work or even translate while pregnant. I lived in smocked dresses while pregnant with Jack and postpartum (who was born in August) but this fall/winter pregnancy is going to be different. Thankfully, I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to over the past couple of weeks, according to my camera roll. After an unlucky start to soccer, it’s in full swing now and it’s been a blast! Jack is loving it way more than I could have imagined and it’s a bright spot in our weekends. It’s incredibly muddy…
I am feeling quite fulfilled at the end of this week. I feel like I had a good balance of everything in my life– which rarely happens! Getting an even balance across the board is pretty impossible, but every week, I really aim to fill each of my cups up in a meaningful way. Jack…
Jeans are an absolute staple for my wardrobe and I couldn’t imagine going through the fall and winter without a few solid pairs of jeans I can rely on. I have grown to love a wide leg jean and think they are an absolute must have and also very much on trend right now. Over…
Up until five years ago, I hadn’t dressed up for Halloween since sixth grade (except in the case of a college party or two). I wouldn’t say I’m a big costume person, but over time I have had fun putting together some of the best Halloween costume ideas for women. Plus, now that we have…
Can you tell it’s sweater and jeans season for me… And my feet are already swollen so lots of sneakers! After kind of a rough week, we had a much needed nice weekend. I got to see my best friend (and “get away” for a night) and also had some fun fall activities with Jack,…
Did we go apple picking again? WE DID. My sister in law and I made it happen with four kids in tow. She was really the miracle worker in getting all three girls to agree to wearing matching outfits 😉 Jack and I rushed over to the orchard after an OBGYN appointment and it was…
The perfect dress doesn’t exi–…. We need to talk about Doen’s fall collection. I swear everything they touch is just magic. I have worn a few of their dresses this year in particular and just love how they make me feel. Well-made with dainty details. Somehow they strike the perfect balance of easy femininity. Most…
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!
