Back with another Diary post… here’s what I’ve been up to the past two weeks according to my camera roll! Meal prepping for Jack is one of my least favorite mom-tasks. I’m always trying to think of things he’ll like to eat, that are healthy for him, that aren’t too complicated to make. We were heading…
I’m not even sure what happened here but apparently I was just blowing through books?! And I’ve got some great ones to recommend this month! But, as always, I’m always on the hunt for more books to read. Would LOVE your recommendations, too…. Happy reading! EASY BEAUTY by Chloe Cooper Jones 4/5 Stars This was a…
It’s so hot outside this week that shorts and lightweight dresses are all I can think about wearing right now. So I’m sharing a few outfit ideas for how to style denim shorts this summer. I’m picky when it comes to denim, and this pair of mid-rise shorts have been my favorite for the last…
Oh, a special edition “Week of Outfits” post! These posts have are one of the most popular ones I post every week (“On My Radar” always takes the cake!) and it makes me so happy. It started as a way to force me to get dressed every day during a time in my life where I…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! KINDLE // I started my last “10 Things” post inquiring about the Kindle and I’ve since purchased…
Spoiler alert: I LOVE my Kindle. When I asked your opinions about the Kindle, you delivered. I was so on the fence about going with an e-reader, but I knew for my lifestyle (at least right now), it’s the best option. I had all but switched to reading books on my phone. I loved the convenience…
Growing up, our summers started the first week of May and ended the first week of August. It’s hard to switch gears now that I’m in NJ where school just got out and won’t go back until September. I feel “late” to posting this summer reading post, even though the first official day of summer was…
I fell off my schedule for this a little bit, so this one is going to cover a bit more ground than usual! Also can’t believe I’ve done 75 of these diary posts so far. They’re one of my personal favorites to write because it feels so old school blogging. Sometimes the everyday doesn’t feel…
A bit of a stream of consciousness post again! Here are the first ten things that came to mind… KINDLE // I think I may have talked about Kindle before. I used to have a Nook (do they even make those anymore?!) and absolutely loved it. Then I went back to reading “real” books. And…
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!
