This was a great week with activities with Jack, an impromptu midweek date, a trip into NYC, and a fun meeting with our interior designer. and I’m really looking forward to this weekend. I am trying very hard to be present and mindful and soaking up every minute of these last summer days!! Here’s what…
Mike loves to cook and entertain, and it’s undoubtedly rubbed off on me! We spend a lot of time in our kitchen, and it’s become one of my favorite spots in our home. Before moving into our house, Mike and I dreamt of hosting friends and family for fun dinner parties and low-key get-togethers. We’ve…
This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. It doesn’t matter how old I get or how digital my life becomes… I cannot resist new “school supplies” around this time of year. Nora Ephron said it best, “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a…
A full seven days worth of outfits! I feel like recent weeks I haven’t been as diligent as getting dressed let alone documenting what I’m wearing. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Celebrating Jack’s first birthday was obviously the biggest win! Surrounded by our family with three birthday cakes?! What could be better. Loved having my parents in…
I wanted to do a quick recap of Jack’s first birthday party on the blog for the memories! I really didn’t want to do some big birthday party. I’m not a great host and he’s also turning one 😉. (Plus it’s summer and I feel like it’s hard enough to get everyone on the same…
As much as I love putting Jack into cute outfits, realistically…. we spend a lot of time in PJs around the house! Especially once he started crawling, our pediatrician advised doing just shirts and a diaper so he wouldn’t slip as much while he figured it out. When we’re not out and about, we just…
What a fun week here! It’s been scorching hot and instead of being miserable about it, I’ve been trying to make mental notes about how it feels so I can refer back to this feeling in February when I’m miserably cold. (Feel free to check in with me then to see how it’s going 🤪.)…
Jack is ONE! When people tell you that the days are long and the years are short, I don’t think I could completely grasp just how short. I feel like I blinked and an entire year went by! This has been such a special and wonderful year! And just so. much. fun. It is absolutely wild…
When I worked in an office, I remember deciding what to wear to work was particularly tricky during the summer. Between the scorching heat outside and frigid air conditioning inside, I felt like I could never win unless I layered, ha! Although the idea of layering in summer may sound a little crazy, it makes…
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. 🫶🏻
