Growing up, our summers started the first week of May and ended the first week of August. It’s hard to switch gears now that I’m in NJ where school just got out and won’t go back until September. I feel “late” to posting this summer reading post, even though the first official day of summer was…
Here’s another Diary post featuring a handful of fun photos over the past twoish weeks… I am absolutely loving my new kindle. I am going to do a longer post about it, but thank you to everyone who encouraged me to get one. I keep thinking, “What took me so long!” Jack celebrated his cousin Olivia’s…
As you read this, we are settling into our family vacation. (I’m writing this before we leave so I can be a little ahead and I’m hoping we are having a great time 😉.) This has been a short week for internet/social browsing between packing, my sister being in town, and then trying to cram…
This post is sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond and ShopStyle Collective. I’m not a natural host, but I married one! Mike loves having people over and when we first started dating I was so overwhelmed. We had people over at our apartment multiple times a week for all kinds of events. Big barbecues, small dinners, rowdy…
The Fourth of July is one of the highlights of my summer and brings back a lot of nostalgia. Growing up, my family took the Fourth very seriously. We’d travel to my grandparents’ house for a week at the beach and go all out. I loved the parades, fireworks, sparklers, and dressing up in red,…
What a week! I have been taking care of myself and carving out a little bit of time every day for myself and feel so much better. It’s so not groundbreaking, but I don’t know why it’s been so hard for me to really just do it. Working out on the Peloton or even just a power…
This is one of Tuckernuck’s best dresses they’ve ever done. I am obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. I posted about it on my Instagram stories a few times and each time it’s sold the dress out…. right now it’s sold out of most sizes, but I wanted to still post on my blog in case they do a…
It’s graduation season and I feel like I’m experiencing my own version of graduation. Jack just turned 10 months old and… he doesn’t look like a baby to me anymore. I also don’t feel like a new mom. Maybe it’s because a handful of my friends have recently had their first babies in the past…
I discovered Diane Hill’s artwork in 2020 and I have been a major fan ever since. I purchased one of her cases for my phone and keep rebuying it every time I get a new model, I love it that much. Diane is also ridiculously talented. I am blown away by her creations. There are no…
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. 🫶🏻
