Whew it was a hot week here! Nothing crazy to report one way or another… just like a nice summer week at home! We have a nice looking weekend ahead. A friend is coming into town with her little guy and we are hoping for good pond weather. Honestly can’t wait. Here’s what’s been on…
I have been on a summer shoe kick lately and have added a few new pairs to my closet. With summer in full swing I wanted to pull together some of my favorites and share the best summer shoes to refresh your closet. Jack Rogers // Block Heel // Cognac Leather Slides // White Bamboo Heel…
I’ve been collecting coffee books for a while (at least 11 years). It was the “thing to do” in the early-mid 2010’s and honestly, I still love the look of stacked coffee table books. Plus, flipping through them is always inspiring! I noticed there’s been a lot of new releases this year and wanted to…
Whew! A full week at home and let’s just say we are in the full swing of things! So many plates in the air, but making it all happen. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Honestly, lots of wins! A pretty easy drive home from vacation, seeing what Clare was up to in my office space IRL, going…
We really don’t plan many things for our trip to Nantucket. To me the beauty is relaxing into a slower pace, visiting favorite spots and trying new ones, and just seeing where the day takes us. One thing that I really wanted to do though was go out on a sailing excursion with Endeavor Sailing. I’ve…
In an effort to explore my personal style more, I have been trying out new clothing brands. Specifically for dresses. Some of these I’ve already shared before, but I wanted to make it a full blog post because I know more of you are also in the same style journey. There are just so many brands…
These posts are always an accumulation of fun pictures from my Camera Roll over the course of two weeks…. and this week’s installment lined up nicely with our two week vacation on Nantucket. I snapped soooo many pictures that I had a hard time narrowing it down, so I did my best to represent our…
We are back home and diving into our everyday routine. We had a blast on Nantucket and I could have easily stayed another two weeks. Our return to reality was fun though… I came home to a lot of updates on my office space, it’s hot hot hot, and our backyard hydrangeas popped while we…

Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep.

✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
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.usa
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.
