I’ve hesitated writing this, but it’s something that keeps coming up as a common “fear” and I wanted to kind of talk about it. Probably once a day, someone sends me a message to say how glad they are to follow me because they just found out that they’re pregnant with a boy and feel…
As you know, I’ve been swept away by the amazing fall clothes coming up. However, it’s still August and it’s still hot, hot, hot. Whew! I’ve been having a bit of whiplash while getting ready in the morning because I need to wear my summer clothes, but I’m craving the fall color palette that I love…
I have been on the hunt for a desk lamp for my new office space. I don’t really need one in terms of light– my office gets the best natural light– but I felt like my desk was missing something. Lamps add the perfect coziness vibe, too. There are so many options out there that I’m…
I had a fairly productive week, which felt amazing. I had absolutely been letting certain balls drop from a mixture of travel, exhaustion, and overwhelm. It felt good to get things done. This weekend should be nice and low-key, too. My favorite kind of summer weekend! Dress (on sale!) // Sunglasses // Phone Crossbody Here’s…
I mentioned in an earlier blog post that I am over summer. This heat has truly gotten to me and the first trimester (with an active toddler) took a lot out of me! It honestly seems to be the consensus from all of my mom friends, pregnant or not. We’ve had a great time, especially…
Since starting the 1,000 Hours Outside challenge, we’ve spent a lot less time in our playroom. And even though it’s the middle of the summer, I’ve already started thinking about how we’ll keep our energetic toddler occupied once the weather cools down. Honestly I’m more than happy with our playroom setup, but I’ve definitely caught…
A bit of a short week of outfits. I really didn’t get dressed beyond cozy clothes and workout pieces while we were vacationing upstate. So picking up this week with two outfits on Friday to sort of make up for it. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Hands down, the win for last week was Jack’s birthday. I…
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 // A Movie Era Years ago, I was obsessed with going to the movies. I had that MoviePass…
I couldn’t wait to sit down to write this post. I just put Jack to bed after one of my favorite parenting days to date… his second birthday. How he is two years old already is beyond me. I was surprisingly less sad about him turning one year older than I was as we approached his…
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!
