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…
We had a pretty nice week over here. Nothing super interesting to report. Plus, I’m looking forward to a low-key weekend at home. I think Jack and I may go apple picking on Sunday for a little adventure. I think he’ll love bopping around an orchard. (I looked up smaller orchards with… hopefully… fewer crowds…
The Tuckernuck Friends and Family Sale just launched yesterday. I’ve been in a shopping mood lately and everything seems to catch my eye. It’s a major practice of self-restraint not to buy one of everything, but I plan to pick up a few fall staples. Tuckernuck is a go-to shopping source for me – I…
I am obsessed with this outfit. I keep reaching for the basics in my closet– I think I’m craving simple outfits that feel good with minimal effort. This has become one of my go-to formulas for getting dressed lately. A white top (like a white tee, sweatshirt, or crisp blouse), comfortable jeans, and a pair of…
This was a great “normal” week. Felt good to be home and fully enjoying it. Our neighborhood, our activities, our space. Sometimes when life gets hectic and crazy, it’s easy to forget about all the nice small moments. So it felt good to kind of get back to a baseline and just “be” in our…
If you’re reading the title and thinking I’m talking about the hockey, think again! This is all about “The Stanley Cup” aka Stanley’s 40 ounce quencher. I’m answering the big question here: Is the Stanley cup worth it? Stanley is probably most known for their thermoses and I’m not really sure how it happened, but…
Shoes are one of the first things I switch to when the seasons are starting to change. I’m usually still in the mood to wear some of my summery clothes, but swapping in preppy fall shoes can make my outfit look more seasonally appropriate– even if the weather is still warm! As I mentioned earlier…
Happy Friday, friends! It has been a full week of getting in the swing of things! Big grocery trip runs to stock up on pantry items, coordinating our calendars, getting my office back in order, starting all of Jack’s new fall activities… feels good to get back in a groove, even if we’ll miss some…
I’m leaning into the changing of seasons and ready for a new fall wardrobe. I’ve decided I’m overdue for a heavy edit on my closet first, but the temptation to purchase a new wardrobe is there, ha! Target recently added some new fall arrivals online, and I wanted to share an under $50 roundup. There…
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
