This was a FULL week. Full in every sense. Lots of family time. Work projects. House updates. Trips to the city. I never feel like I’m “doing it all,” but this week got pretty close. Or at least as close as I can possibly get. It really did take almost fourteen months since Jack was…
I’ve been a fan of the utility trend lately, and as much as I want to get behind a jumpsuit, it just isn’t me. That said, one take on the trend I can easily get behind is a utility dress, and this one felt like the perfect match. It is great for styling with layers during…
This post is in partnership with American Girl– an absolute dream for me! It’s no secret how influential American Girl was for me as a young girl. I credit American Girl, and especially the historical character series, for my love of reading and, honestly, sense of self. As I’ve gotten older, I have reflected heavily…
Full steam ahead into fall clothing over here. We are having real fall weather… the leaves are even starting to change around here and after spending a couple of days up in Maine, I’m ready for my cozy season. (You know, it still feels pretty new right now, I’ll be sick of it in a few…
I’m so sorry to say I think this round up is going to be a disappointment. Not every month can be a rockstar month of reading. I put a lot of pressure on myself to read a lot. In part because I enjoy it, but also because I share what I read with you guys….
Happy October! It kind of feels like September was over in a blink of an eye, so excited to share some of the snaps from my camera roll from the last two weeks: We are going out for a walk almost every afternoon before dinner as a family. It’s been such a nice way to…
I’m writing this quickly from Maine. I’ve been here with ChappyWrap for the past couple of days and I can’t even begin to describe how rejuvenating it’s been. I’ve loved meeting new people and collaborating with talented friends. Sometimes I’m so in the groove of working by myself that I forget how nice it is…
I’ll admit, I’ve struggled a little to get excited about fall this year! Even though I’ve always looked forward to this season, I found myself holding on to every last minute of summer, trying to soak up all that it had to offer well after Labor Day. I think part of me is apprehensive about…
Well, as the kids say, I’m in my podcast era! You know I love a good audiobook, but lately I’ve been leaning so much harder into podcasts. Throughout my day, I just love listening to something at all times. Whether it’s a book or a podcast, it keeps me company. (I actually go a little…
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
