We had a great week. Half down in Florida celebrating Thanksgiving with my family and half back here at home recovering from all the travel. Let me tell you, traveling with a 15 month old is not for the faint of heart 😉 But I’ll give Jack some major credit and say that it went…
I have to share these photos before we turn the calendar to December! My friend Sam and I so wish we lived closer to each other– but it’s always a good excuse for us to “meet in the middle” in NYC. We’ve been going to Central Park and it’s the perfect place to get a…
I’m trying to get ahead this year and plan out Christmas presents for Jack. I have to confess that I didn’t get Jack anything for Christmas last year. Leading up to Christmas, it felt weird to get a four month old Christmas gifts, but of course, I was so guilty on Christmas morning for not…
Happy Thanksgiving! Keeping things short and sweet today – I rounded up some of the best Black Friday sales with my top picks from each retailer. I recommend shopping on a desktop for an easier time swiping through my selections. Enjoy! J. Crew // 50% off your purchase with code SHOPEARLY J. Crew Factory // 50-70%…
This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. I love giving personalized gifts, especially to family members. This post is in partnership with Shutterfly– a one-stop shop for customized and personalized gifts. I had too much fun creating all these gifts and I can’t wait to wrap each one up and give to the various recipients. You really could…
It was a full happy week, but one with uninspired outfits. Just over here trying to keep it real. 😉 LAST WEEK’S WIN: Elsa had her baby shower on Saturday and it was such a wonderful day! I was thrilled to get to celebrate her and her baby who will be here before we know…
The pickleball craze is taking over, and I can’t get enough! I started playing a few years ago as a fun pandemic activity but took a break when I was pregnant. There are so many courts around us now, and I’m getting back into it. I signed up for beginner group lessons at our pond…
I have a sponsored Instagram with J. Crew coming out today, but I love the outfit so much that I had to give it a permanent spot on the blog. Our social calendar is starting to fill up and I’m starting to think about holiday party outfits!! Who knew my closet was missing a sequin skirt….
I may be late to the game here, but if you’re like me and haven’t taken your holiday cards yet… here are some coordinating outfit ideas. One is quite matchy-matchy, which may be a little much for some people or just right for others. (I love a good matching moment myself 😉.) I also personally…
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.
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 😛
