We had a lovely, lovely week here. Just so many good things all crammed into one week! My mom was here and we just had the best time and then we had a good weekend at home filled with lots of play and family time. Sometimes life moves so fast, and I try to cherish…
This is one of my favorite outfits as of late. Julia took these photos while we were in Maine shooting my ChappyWrap collection. It features everything I’m loving right now: flats that are comfortable enough to chase a toddler but cute enough to feel like I tried. A beautiful cashmere sweater from a new-to-me brand….
While my mom was in town, she helped me really tackle a huge project. (She’s always up for a project and I’m so thankful.) We turned the semi-finished portion of the basement into a proper playroom and it looks AMAZING. I’m going to do a whole reveal of it once it’s finalized…. the only thing…
I love love Susan Gordon Pottery. I first discovered her pottery pieces on Etsy years ago and I’ve quickly become a big fan. I have to stop myself from ordering something from every drop because I love them all so much. I am signed up for very, very few retail emails, but I always get SGP’s…
I had such a great week with my mom in town! Mike was traveling for work, so I called my mom to see if she wanted to come hang out with us. It was so nice having her just here for our “everyday life.” No holiday to celebrate, no party to throw, no grand adventures….
My travel schedule has picked up over the last couple of months. Between a wedding, a trip to Maine with the ChappyWrap team, and a Bachelorette trip in Nantucket, I’ve been on the road quite a bit. I wouldn’t consider myself a great traveler by any means, but after not being able to travel for…
You might have seen the big news on Instagram last week…. I have a collection of ChappyWrap holiday blankets coming out in November!! This has been in the works for about a year now and it’s so thrilling to see everything come to life. I’m a huge, huge fan of ChappyWrap (have been for years– here’s…
This week has been a fun one– so many fall activities and it was so nice to be home. As much fun as I’ve been having traveling and going into the city, it’s also nice to get caught up and be in a normal routine too. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Our town’s big festival was this weekend after…
Something that’s been on my mind lately is friendships. Specifically friendships as an adult. It’s a question I get a lot and I have to admit, it’s something I myself question. I do find that I’ve done a relatively good job of making friends, but it’s not exactly easy or something that I’m naturally inclined…
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
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
