A month ago I splurged on the Hatch Restore. It’s an alarm clock, reading light, sound machine, etc. It’s supposed to increase your quality of sleep, which I’ve been working on for a while. This had been on my personal wishlist for a bit and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Finally went…
I typically share these top sellers on Instagram, but thought I could start rounding them up on my blog too. Typically these end up being questions I get a lot, too, so hopefully you find this helpful! BEST SLIP UNDER $20 // STRAW MESSENGER BAG // BLUE FLORAL DRESS // STRIPED SHIRT // BASKET FLARE…
One of my goals this month is to squeeze in more date nights! Now that Jack is getting a little older, Mike and I have been focusing on carving out more time to spend just the two of us outside of the house. Usually, we’ll get a sitter or Mike’s sister to come over after…
After traveling so much and feeling out of a routine, this week was a welcome change. I decided to get in the car with Jack extra early on Monday. It sounds lame, but I was just ready to get home and get started on our laundry 🤣 The pond club we belong to had their…
This post is sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond and ShopStyle Collective. You know you’re an adult when upgrading kitchen appliances gives you the biggest thrill! Personally, I find going into a Bed Bath & Beyond store akin to a kid being let loose in a toy store. (Except better because I have my own disposable…
I apparently got through a ton of books this month. Between vacation and reading books on my phone in the middle of the night while nursing, I’ve found myself in a really good reading groove. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about reading. COME AS YOU ARE by Emily Nagoski…
I did kind of a terrible job with outfits and documenting everything. Last week was pretty devastating and I’m still trying to get back into an okay headspace. Spending time with family this weekend helped a lot. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Have a successful weekend. Honestly, we’ve traveled so much with Jack at this point that…
I wanted to share some of the “best of” Memorial Day sales happening right now. Lots of great things– splurges and staples and everything in between.

Not even really sure how to kick off this post other than to say I’m not really okay. Before I had a baby, in my mind, I thought I’d still be “me” but also a mom. Well, having Jack changed me. Every cell transformed inside of me and I am just simply not the same person I…
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart
Year after year, I keep coming back to @shutterfly for personalized gifts that feel truly thoughtful. There’s just something special about custom gifts—they really say, I was thinking of you.

#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours

I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
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.usa
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
