Packing seems to be one of those tasks you either love or loathe. I’m pretty sure we’ve all waited until the last minute to start packing at some point, only to throw in the towel five minutes in and grab random things from your closet. Or those times when you overpack but still somehow forget…
A bunch of great reads for the month of April!!! I’ve been so excited to do my monthly book round up because I really liked so many of the books I read. (It doesn’t happen as often as I’d like, especially lately.) Without further ado… HUNT, GATHER, PARENT by Michaeleen Doucleff 4/5 Stars I haven’t read…
I was SO excited that my Hill House swim order arrived just in time for our trip to the Bahamas. (Full trip review coming up soon…) When I saw that Hill House, the creator of my beloved Nap Dresses, was coming out with a swim line, I was thrilled and when the previews came out,…
With wedding season in full swing, I’ve started receiving more requests for wedding guest dresses to wear this spring and summer. Finding the right dress to wear as a wedding guest can be a challenge. Wedding invitations often have hard to interpret dress codes, and finding an event dress on a budget can be time…
Happy Friday everyone! We are heading down the shore either tonight or tomorrow morning (tbd on how we feel after work!) for the weekend. I usually dread Labor Day weekend because it means summer is over, but I’m weirdly feeling okay with it right now. A few of Jack’s activities start back up and I’m…
We’re going down to Tampa to visit my parents– fingers crossed for easy breezy flying! Above being tired from the actual travel, the one thing that drains me the most is packing. I don’t know why I find it so overwhelming, but I do. Spring weather can be tricky to pack so having a packing list…
I’ve talked about doing the 1,000 Hours Outside challenge this year a bit… But now that we’re more than a quarter into the year, I wanted to share something very interesting that happened. Some background first: I saw this 1,000 Hours Outside challenge all over TikTok at the end of last year. The challenge is as…
Oh! 11/11/22! Feels like a good omen kind of day, right? This week has been a weird week– I think because I’m recovering from a lot of fun last week (laid it all out in Tuesday’s post!). I am usually rather affected by daylight savings and it was a little jarring to pick Jack up…
I actually brought my big camera to Nantucket last weekend. I love that taking photos has actually become something I enjoy… and I was excited to have my camera with me to snap some candids throughout the bachelorette. We got lucky with the most beautiful fall weather, which also meant the most beautiful fall light….
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!
