While I soak up this precious newborn time, I’ve asked a few of my friends if they wanted to contribute a guest post for my blog! Today I’m excited to introduce my Insta-Turned-IRL friend, Sam. I have been following Sam on Instagram for a while and we recently met for the first time (though it felt…
It’s been a full week trying to get tie up loose ends here before heading back to Florida for the holidays. Teddy and I are flying to Tampa Saturday afternoon and will be there for a full week. Really can’t even tell you how excited I am… especially for the warm weather and sunshine! Packing…
I discovered Diane Hill’s artwork in 2020 and I have been a major fan ever since. I purchased one of her cases for my phone and keep rebuying it every time I get a new model, I love it that much. Diane is also ridiculously talented. I am blown away by her creations. There are no…
I’m slowly but surely adjusting to living in Connecticut. Actually it’s going really well, it’s just a little different and there are tons of lose ends from the move. Balancing the usual workflow, tying up those loose ends, and prepping for our trip to Bonaire (tomorrow!!!) I’m feeling a little loopy crazy. Let’s jump right…
In September, my sister in laws and niece went to The Claremont Hotel in Maine. It had been on their travel bucket list for a while and they said it more than lived up their expectations. When they arrived, they both immediately started texting me photos and videos of the property and interiors telling me…
Our friends are hosting a little get together tonight for Cinco de Mayo. I’m excited to kick off the weekend with friends and, hallelujah, it looks like we’re going to have beautiful spring weather to enjoy. Woo! Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Eco-Adventure Passport Micro Kickboard hooked Jack up…
Hi! How are you guys doing? Did you have a good week? Bad week? Up and down? Just wanted to send some positive vibes your way. And below is a picture of Teddy perched on the sofa looking as charming and sweet as ever. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE //…
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like;
- it’s easy to put on!
- it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!)
- the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻
