Today’s post is all about first birthday gift ideas. This has been a surprisingly popular request! I wanted to share some of the things we gave Jack and things Jack received from friends and family. He is one lucky guy! I’m including some different price points for first birthday gift ideas. Whether you’re a grandparent…
I did one of these a few (one in 2018 and another in 2019) and I was kind of thinking about how I needed to do another updated one. I had been savoring every last drop of summer, but we recently had some chilly mornings and days where I almost turned on the heat even!)…
This week was a bit tough as I pulled my back out!!! Jack is getting so heavy and I’ve been trying to be so good about engaging my core and it just took one time of lifting him out of the crib in a rush! Of course I didn’t do a good job of taking it…
Costumes have always been my favorite part of Halloween. Growing up, my mom would sew my sister and me the best costumes, which would make their way to our costume box that we’d pull out for various shows we put on for our parents. I will forever appreciate the time and detail poured into a…
This post is sponsored by Pipette & ShopStyle Collective. I was first introduced to Pipette from one of my mom support groups online. Someone was raving about Pipette’s Mineral Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen and after hearing more people chime in, I ordered a bottle. We are big fans. There are so many things to…
Here’s my last week’s worth of outfits. I didn’t even realize until I put the outfits together for the post that I essentially wore the same thing twice. Felt different at the time, but obviously not 🤣 LAST WEEK’S WIN: A celebratory one… I finally got my period!!!! Never in a million years did I…
We went apple picking this weekend! My sister in law and I planned to take Jack a few weeks ago and I was counting down the days. It’s one of my favorite things to do every year. It just never gets old for me and it’s even better to experience it with a child. (Look how…
Some of my most recent purchases from Amazon: ELECTRIC LIGHTER // I was sick of searching for matches in our house to light candles and the lighters we usually have on hand are just ugly (ha). I found this amazing rechargeable lighter in a pretty blue and it’s so cool. It is great for lighting…
Back with another Diary post… here’s what I’ve been up to the past two weeks according to my camera roll! Meal prepping for Jack is one of my least favorite mom-tasks. I’m always trying to think of things he’ll like to eat, that are healthy for him, that aren’t too complicated to make. We were heading…
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 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
