Happy Friday! We’re ending the week on a great note having gotten some positive health news. Long story short, after my clogged duct cleared, I happened to be feeling my breast to make sure it was gone and found a lump in a different area. I ended up going to the doctor who prescribed an…
Fall wedding season is approaching, and choosing the right dress for the occasion can be challenging! I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite styles to help you look and feel your best. Fall is the perfect time to embrace rich, jewel-toned hues. Think emerald greens, deep sapphires, and rich burgundies. This merlot jacquard dress, for instance, is…
If there’s anything we can all agree on, it’s that Nancy Meyers is iconic. She’s behind so many of my comfort movies– The Parent Trap, Father of the Bride, Something’s Gotta Give… I love the plots, but what I REALLY love are the set designs. It might just be the TikTok algorithm, but I’ve noticed…
Last week was an absolute blur. We’re at the point of the summer where I’m losing track of time and days. I was talking with my friends and we all agreed that this has been the longest August on record! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Biggest win was truly just how productive I was. I haven’t gotten…
Listening to audiobooks has revolutionized how I consume books… and I’m not the only one! More and more people are turning to audiobooks, which has led to a fantastic boom in the industry. Publishers are taking note and have been investing in creating better and more entertaining audiobooks, which makes the whole listening experience that…
After I wrote yesterday’s blog post, I was inspired to start looking for fun fall fashion finds for toddler and baby boys. Rory and Jack are almost exactly 2.5 years apart so they’re different sizes in different seasons. I realized I’m going to have to get him some warmer weather items and Jack is growing…
What a nice week here in NJ! We kicked things off celebrating Jack’s third birthday and it was everything and then some. Toddlerhood is a full contact sport but oh my gosh is it fun and Rory is a classic second child right now just trying to keep up. Here’s what has been on my…
I love browsing J.Crew whenever they add new arrivals and they just dropped a pre-fall collection earlier this week with a mix of transitional pieces and fall staples. It’s making me very excited for cooler weather and I wanted to round up a few of my favorite finds. Merino Crewneck // Cotton Poplin Shirtdress //…
I’m a denim girl through and through. My time is usually spent either parenting or working from home, so once the weather cools down, it just makes sense. I’ve tried a lot of jeans through the years and have a pretty good idea of what works for me: high waisted with only a little bit…
… 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
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. 🫶🏻
