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! 1. SOUP SZN // I am in my soup season right now. I don’t know what it is…
We had a cozy week! After a mad rush in December with the holidays and trips and bopping around everywhere, I feel like we’re really settling into our routine with fun mixed in. It’s kind of hard to describe, but I feel like we’re just hitting a really good groove as a family. LAST WEEK’S WIN:…
As luck would have it, around mid-December I ran out of a lot of my beauty products. I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get every last drop of moisturizer and conditioner out and then moved onto to some travel-sized samples that I had. But once I was back from visiting my…
It’s been almost a month since my last diary post! Some fun things to catch up on: Before Christmas and once the kids were all home from preschool, school, and daycare we had everyone over to our house to decorate some cookies for Santa! It was such a fun afternoon. (This is the recipe we…
We had a nice family-oriented week with lots of activities, dinners together, and time outside! (One of Jack’s new words is “outside,” which he says over and over by the backdoor to go out and play…. no matter what the weather is, he is ready to get outside!) Here are some things on my radar…
I’m trying to spend as much time as possible outside. Honestly very hard for me in winter when I want to hibernate. Taking Jack on evening walks around the neighborhood has been a great way to clear my mind at the end of the day and get some steps in. Playing pickleball is another great…
Finishing up my 2022 recap posts with a list of favorites. Since I’m late already, instead of breaking this up into separate posts, I’m just combining everything into one! Kind of makes it more fun that way anyway. (And this is a good place to catch up on the blog if you’ve recently come from…
Hello, hello! It’s been a while since my last Week of Outfits post! LAST WEEK’S WIN: I finished my bookkeeping for 2023 in record time. I had a couple of major (😩) issues so I was trying to get it done early to resolve everything ASAP. It was not fun and it was a huge hassle getting…
(I’m now realizing I think I skipped last year! Whoops!) I read a lot of great books last year and, while I do monthly recaps, it’s fun to look back at the year as a whole. I thought I’d share a few of my reading “wins” too, before diving into my favorite books. The biggest…
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!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
