(I’m bumping up this post on our basement playroom design because our mat is 20% off and I needed you all to take advantage of the sale because it is a crucial, game changer for the playroom!) Guys I can’t even believe this is in our house 🤣. Our house is perfectly sized for us, but…
I love an excuse to get dressed up during the holidays! Whether it’s a celebration with friends, a night out to see the nutcracker or a holiday work party, there seems to be no shortage of festivities during this season. However, it can still be a struggle to find the right dress. I’ve definitely put…
This past weekend, Elsa and I went to a holiday fair called Fine Day Fair. It was the perfect mini road trip (about 90 minutes away). We both felt like we were able to escape and get away without committing to a huge trip. It ended up being a beautiful day out too. A little…
Last week was filled with fortunate and unfortunate events. I have nothing to complain about because everything worked out in the end, but whew I am tired. Launch parties! Live television! Dinners in the city! But also getting locked out of my house accidentally! And misplaced wallets! By Sunday I was drained and just needed to……..
This post is sponsored by Printique! I have always been “snap happy” taking photos. The more the merrier. Burst mode please. Every angle is great! Horizontal, vertical, portrait! iPhone photos and digital cameras. I’ve been like this for as long as I can remember. (I brought a cool 3 megapixel camera with me on a field…
Thanksgiving is a couple of weeks away, and I can’t wait to spend the week with family in Tampa. I’m deciding between a couple of dresses to wear for Thanksgiving dinner. Obviously, comfort is a priority, but I still enjoy getting a little dressed up. I’ll most likely wear a midi dress with a pair…
Before we get into the thick of the holidays, I wanted to share my favorite gift wrap. I love these sheets for any time of year, but especially for the holidays. My favorite thing is to do is create a gift wrap “suite” to lean on through the holidays. Over the top? Maybe. But it brings…
What a WEEK!!! I just need to start things off by telling you just how grateful I am for every single one of you. I don’t think I say it enough, but I mean it from the bottom of my heart. This week has been a true demonstration of how incredible you guys are as…
Personalized pieces are one of my favorite holiday gifts, and I’m happy to see so many retailers making it even easier to add personalization to holiday orders! Although I’ll never get tired of a classic punchy monogram, I’ve gravitated more toward minimalist monogramming over the years. Adding initials or a name is a simple addition…
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 😛
