Oh last week was a good one!! So many of my friends, including myself, have been feeling extremely burnt out this summer. It’s crazy how it doesn’t matter where we live, how many kids we have/if we have kids, what their ages are…. we’re all having the same feeling of burn out. Maybe because I…
My friend Fran just did this blog post ahead of her own birthday and I thought it was such a clever idea. I already bought myself my birthday present because I couldn’t wait, this is just a list totally for fun– and let me tell you, it was fun to put together. Dreaming up a totally…
It’s been so nice to have a beautiful space to go to work. I’ve been going almost every day while Jack is in daycare and I haven’t felt this inspired in a while, and forgot how nice it is to have a dedicated office space! On that note, it got me thinking about workwear. I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to according to my camera roll the last couple of weeks! I love going on little dates with Jack. We’ve been doing this since he was a baby and I think it really helps with restaurant etiquette. (Or at the very least easing my own nerves dining out with a…
Happy (almost) weekend! I’m having a solo weekend (just the dogs and me) and I really can’t wait. I plan on tackling some big organizational projects around the house that are hard to do with a little toddler in tow. Excited to roll my sleeves up and get to work. And maybe sleep in…. although…
Hill House just gave me a code for readers of my blog! You can use CARLY20 to get 20% full priced items. USE CODE CARLY20 FOR 20% OFF FULL PRICED HILL HOUSE STYLES. I received some questions about this nap dress after I shared it, so I thought I would add more thoughts. I think…
I love a Tuckernuck new arrivals day! With fall on the horizon, I’m adding a couple of transition pieces to my wardrobe that I can wear as the temps cool down. They have definitely leaned into the chic outfit vibe and, considering my personal fall vibe ideas, I’m here for it. The cozy sweaters and cute jackets…
I know it’s still hot out, but…. fall is so close I can taste it. I’ve already posted about fall outfit ideas (I’m SO impressed with J.Crew’s assortment) but I’m in the mood to cover some fall wedding guest dresses too. Depending on where you are in the season, the weather can be drastically different,…
Only five outfits this week. I’m feeling a lot better now that I’m in my second trimester, but some days I’m still pretty drained. I’ve been leaning into leggings and t-shirts more than I actually want to. (Putting on a cute outfit does help mentally… sometimes I just don’t have it in me 😜.) LAST WEEK’S…
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!
