Jack and I are heading to Florida today after a couple of days in Charleston. Even though this isn’t a very long trip at all, it has felt like a genuine vacation!! So happy we were able to escape the snow for a bit. Here’s what has been on my radar: ONE // Humans of…
Last weekend we had a nearly 70° day that was such a treat after what has felt like another never-ending winter. I put on a cute spring outfit and made a day of it by going on a walk with Jack and grabbing coffee with Elsa. This week I’m in Charleston for my book signing…
I have been having the hardest time with memory. I don’t know if it’s pandemic brain, mom brain fog, or just getting older… but man, if I don’t write something down and add an alarm to it, there’s a 50% chance I’ll forget. I used to be great about remembering things and I always felt…
Another week of outfits and for the first time in a while, I actually love them all. Maybe it’s that the days are getting longer (I cannot wait to “spring forward” this week) or the warm weather we’ve had. But getting dressed in the morning feels a little more manageable. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Mike and I had…
I’m taking a page out of my friend Kelly’s book. She does a blog series where she writes about ten (or more) things that come to mind when she sits down at the computer. I love reading those posts of hers and I’m currently sitting here at 9pm on Sunday night with writer’s block. So…
It’s been…. over a month since the last time I did a diary post?! Honestly not too much to catch up on as I’ve been sharing the exciting bits as they come. And life when we’re home is just nice and low key, so not too much to report. But I thought I’d share some fun…
I’m pretty proud of myself for this week as I tackled a few bigger things on my to-do list (like getting some documents together for my accountant and prep work for a trip next week). Morgan Harper Nichols’ team sent me an extra copy of her new book Peace Is a Practice for my Little Free Library….
My recent needlepoint camp with Maddie at the Mayflower Inn is still at the top of my mind, and it felt like a good excuse to share a few cute canvases. After having Jack, I took a bit of a hiatus from needlepoint, but I’m glad that I’m getting back into stitching again. Getting in…
I haven’t taken proper photos in a while. I feel very rusty and I’m trying to get comfortable again in front of the camera! Part of the problem is that I haven’t had too many clothing items that have really made me feel good. It’s hard to muster up the energy during nap times when…
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. 🫶🏻
