It’s been a hot minute since my last diary post. I skipped a week to announce that we bought a house in the suburbs. So lots to catch up on…. I will definitely miss being “neighbors” with Maddie and her husband Ryan. Our summer schedules are kind of exactly opposite right now (when we’re in…
Interior design is not one of my strengths. It never has been. I can appreciate good design (even if it’s not my taste) and I can easily spot what I do and don’t like. But getting there? Not my forte. I really struggle with paralysis when making decisions for design, especially since it’s not like…
Currently in major limbo with our living situation. Hopefully, good news is coming (and if not it’ll at least be an epically ridiculous story to tell anyway) but because so many things have been up in the air, I was extra drawn to reading this month. It was the only thing before bed that would…
Writing this from Hilton Head! This is my first time here and I’m really looking forward to spending some time at the beach and disconnecting a little bit. I had to dig into my bathing suit drawer for the first time this year, which got me super excited for upcoming summer travel. I’m considering this an…
I’m calling it now, this is going to be my official uniform this summer. I know it’s not quite June yet and I’m sure there are warmer days ahead, but I’ve still been pretty chilly for nearly half the week. This sweater has been an absolute staple in my wardrobe for years now. When I took…
Elena sent me an email about how her personal style has evolved over the years and I related in a lot of ways having moved a lot throughout my life as well. She’s sharing five outfits as for the 1 Girl, 5 Outfits series: Hi everyone! My name is Elena, and I’m a 23-year-old law…
Can we just talk about how darling this dress is? The Tuckernuck team is the best at curating their online boutique. When I heard they were starting their own line of clothing, I knew it was going to be good. I knew they’d be creating just the very best items that represented their brand and, ultimately,…
I’ve been SO excited to share my April reading list. I almost posted it early because I just couldn’t wait. But before I get into what I read (and what I highly recommend), I have to confess that I am just loving reading right now. I made a commitment to myself to read 52 books this…
Today I’m flying up to Boston for Nicole’s bridal shower. Crazy that just a year ago we were celebrating her engagement.. and her wedding is at the end of the summer. It’s been nice for me to get to connect with some of her friends (and in some cases my friends from first/second grade!) before…
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!
