My holiday collection with ChappyWrap is LIVE!!!! Thank you all so much for the support. I cannot wait to see you with your blankets!! We have five blankets in this collection: TARTAN PLAID // HOLIDAY HOUNDSTOOTH // MERRY BOWS // VINTAGE SKI // CLASSIC GINGHAM
I’ve been dying to share this post, namely because I read what I think (so far) is my favorite book of the year!!! So let’s dive right in. Here’s what I read in October 2022: TOO PERFECT by Allan E. Mallinger & Jeanette De Wyze 4/5 Stars This is alllllll about perfectionism and what happens when…
Spent the last week soaking up the last bit of October…. today starts the mad rush of the holiday season. It’s always fun, but also crazy. We’ve just had the most glorious fall weather this past week, even with a touch of spooky fog! Totally got me in the Halloween spirit. LAST WEEK’S WIN: It…
Here’s what my last two weeks looked like according to my camera roll. I got a late start to decorating for fall, but I had so much fun doing it once I got around to it. I went to multiple places trying to get the perfect pumpkin set up (see below for the final look)….
I’m excited for the holiday season and to kick off my 2022 gift guide series today! I thought it would be fun to start by highlighting the top gifts from 2021 to gift for 2022. I’m always curious about what gifts were most purchased the year prior, and it can be helpful to see what…
Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and I’m looking forward to it more than ever! We’ll be heading to Tampa this year, and I’m so excited since it’s been a few years since I last went home for Thanksgiving. I always enjoy the additional time with family around the holidays, and it feels even more…
We had a fun week over here! Nothing too crazy. (Unless you count the transition to one nap! IYKYK.). One thing I’m trying to do is to walk more. I usually use the weather as an excuse to not walk and it’s a bad habit… but with an active baby and two pups, the weather can’t…
This post is sponsored by Hunter Douglas. We have lived in our house for over three years, and I finally feel like we’re making progress on making this house our “home.” I have a hard time figuring out anything when it comes to interiors. A big problem is that I need to really live in…
As I write this post, we have fully weaned and my boobs (hallelujah) feel a little bit more like “mine” again. It’s been a long, amazing, difficult fourteen months of breastfeeding though. Highs and lows. I loved and I hated breastfeeding. It was the best thing and the worst thing… all. at. once. Before I…
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 😛
