I didn’t know what to title this. Alternative choices: Why we chose daycare. Why I needed childcare. Why I opted to not have a nanny. Working from home with a baby is not a sustainable option. In a dream world, I would be able to work from home seamlessly during baby’s long naps… and then…
Last week was such a big “milestone” week for us as it was Jack’s first time in daycare. I’m going to write something longer about childcare and why/how we made our specific choice. Leading up to his start date, I was a ball of nerves and excited as I was getting pretty desperate to get my…
A bunch of great reads for the month of April!!! I’ve been so excited to do my monthly book round up because I really liked so many of the books I read. (It doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, especially lately.) Without further ado… HUNT, GATHER, PARENT by Michaeleen Doucleff 4/5 Stars I haven’t read…
Here are a few things I’ve recently purchased and a few more things that I’m eyeing. It’s kind of a lot… but I’m having a weird mental block about getting my clothes out of storage right now as I work through some body image things. And I think it’s best if I just don’t… at…
We had a nice week here… Mike, Jack, and I went into the city for a little staycation. It was only one night and it was actually for work, but felt like a mini vacation. The best part was just leisurely strolling through Central Park. Kind of made me wish we lived in the city…
Now that the weather is getting nicer, I’ve felt inspired to do a bit of spring shopping these last few weeks. There are lots of cute pieces available I want to share, so I thought I’d put together another fun roundup of some cute things under $100. I think it’s safe to say my life…
I love a J. Crew New Arrivals day 🥳 With summer on the horizon, I’m adding a couple of fun pieces to my wardrobe. Especially since last summer I was rocking a bump and had limited options (and the year before that was 2020, enough said), I’m excited for a few new things THAT FIT…
We had a beautiful week, but it was a little cooler. I thought I looked at the weather and it was going to be in the 70s… but it decidedly wasn’t. BUT, listen, the leaves are coming out on the trees so I can forgive mother nature 😉 LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had one of…
There are a lot of things I love about my job. One of the things that I’ve grown to appreciate over the years is the value of having special moments documented with photos and videos. I definitely have too many photos of myself, honestly, it can be a little disturbing. BUT, I am so, so grateful…
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. 🫶🏻
