Last week was a little bit of everything! I pulled my back out, but it got better (thankfully) every day and I went into the weekend feeling just about 100% better. Nothing like hurting yourself to better appreciate a healthier body! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Mike and I went down to Delaware for his cousin’s wedding….
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…
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
