This week was good for the soul. I extended my Nantucket visit by a day and packed in as much sun and fun as I could with some of my very favorite friends. I did get some work done so I don’t feel completely overwhelmed opening my laptop again… but I didn’t collect as many links…
It’s not Friday!!!! I’m putting this week’s On My Radar post up a day early because I have a sponsored post queued for tomorrow! (It’s about my #1 insecurity 🙈.) I know I did this to you guys last week too and I felt bad at how many people messaged me saying they thought they missed…
Is everyone excited that it’s officially fall? The days are shorter, and the temps are dropping, and the leaves are changing. (Well at least it’s chilly in the morning… and then it’s 90 degrees by lunch, ha.) I switched over my closet to my fall/winter wardrobe and started to get excited about all my plaids and flannels…
There are going to be back to back Thursday On My Radar posts. Apologies for the break in tradition. Tomorrow I’m sharing one of the dresses from Julia’s new collection (you will LOVE it) and next Friday is a sponsored post (another dress you’ll love!). I am going to have to schedule in a post next…
So many highlights from this week… starting with the fact that I took my first yoga class in forever. I stopped going when we got Hamilton, and then I just kept putting it off and off. Before I knew it, I was too afraid to get back going. The same fears I had when I…
The first week back after a vacation is always the hardest, isn’t it? Sheesh. And this cold front again? PERFECT. Just, perfect. Plus, my sunburn is in that itchy all the time and peeling in the most disgusting way. Here are some of the things that have been on my radar this week: ONE //…
Another week, another On My Radar post. Some fun stuff this week: – I took my first tennis lesson and loved it. I’m really excited to spruce up my skills. (I need it.) – Next week I’m going to a press event with Renée Zellweger next week and was invited to see the new Bridget Jones’s Baby in preparation….
This week was AWESOME. Just so much fun from the very beginning. The fun kicked off with a trip to the US Open. I have never been, and when Chase reached out with an invite, I said “yes!” as fast as I could. After having so much fun, I’m kicking myself for taking four years…
Ah! So much to say this week, I don’t even know where to start. But I’ll start with something I’m excited about. The response to my post about homesickness was amazing– thank you guys so much for reaching out and letting me know you love it! After I had published it, the emails switched to “how…
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻
