We had a pretty nice week over here. Nothing super interesting to report. Plus, I’m looking forward to a low-key weekend at home. I think Jack and I may go apple picking on Sunday for a little adventure. I think he’ll love bopping around an orchard. (I looked up smaller orchards with… hopefully… fewer crowds…
I was kind of terrible about documenting my outfits this last week. It’s been such a low-key vacation for us. Pretty much rotated through comfy pajamas, bathing suits, and easy outfits. LAST WEEK’S WIN: We officially have a beach baby!!! Not going to lie, I was anxious looking forward to this summer knowing we’d have…
I feel I’ve lost track of time completely, which is a sign of a good vacation. Here’s what I’ve been wearing over the past week. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Having my sister in town was such a treat! It was great to hang out with her and to see her with Jack, of course, too. We listened…
I did kind of a terrible job with outfits and documenting everything. Last week was pretty devastating and I’m still trying to get back into an okay headspace. Spending time with family this weekend helped a lot. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Have a successful weekend. Honestly, we’ve traveled so much with Jack at this point that…
I had heard the absolute best things about Harbour Island in the Bahamas. Everyone that I knew who had gone absolutely love it. Now that we’ve been, I totally understand the love. It’s almost hard to describe, but it certainly is a special little island! Mike and I have been talking about taking a beach vacation…
(1) We had such a great first Easter for Jack! Maybe other people experience this too, but I have a tendency to build very high expectations in my head. This is especially true for holidays and I can end up disappointed when reality doesn’t meet expectations. I’ve been really working on not setting expectations and…
This has been one of the best weeks of the year, definitely of the summer. We came up to Henderson Harbor to celebrate the Fourth. We’ve had perfect weather for boating and reading down on the dock. I mean is there anything more “summer” than water skiing, grilling hot dogs, and playing board games on…
During our quick visit to Nantucket a couple of weeks ago, we had one perfectly warm afternoon that was fit for a trip to the beach. Packing a bathing suit at all was wishful thinking, but it appears that it brought us good luck with the weather. It would be such a shame to visit…
There are plenty of things about summer that I look forward to: the sun being out past 9 pm, shutting down work a little earlier on a Friday afternoon, watermelon for days, weekend adventures, dining al fresco… and dresses. As much as I love my jeans and sweaters (and you guys know I love my jeans and…
… 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. 🫶🏻
