With no snow to be found, it’s been kind of nice to enjoy some extra time outside. Especially with a two year old pup who needs lots of exercise, I’m pretty grateful for these afternoons outside.
We typically take Teddy to our favorite dog park (it’s like heaven on earth, I swear!), but the beach was calling our names this week! There’s nothing cuter than seeing twenty dogs sprinting back and forth on the beach! Teddy dipped his toes and nose in the water… while other dogs did their own polar bear plunge.
There are around a million reasons why I love living in Connecticut so much… and being so close to the water is right up there as one of the top reasons.
I’ve had a few pieces of Patagonia clothing from my college rowing days and always loved them. Working from home and being a little more outdoorsy than usual, I’ve collected a few more pieces this year that I wear way too often. This quilted snap-t is one that I wear at least every other day! It’s super soft and a little less puffy than the fleece version.
While it’s not an official “resolution” I do intend on spending more time outdoors this year. I always feel stress melt away and my overall happiness go up after being outside even for a few minutes.
I love Patagonia as well! I just started collecting it about three years ago and already have several pieces. They're just so well made, it's easy to fall in love 🙂
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
… 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!
I love your outfit. I'm always love reading your blog.
