This is my annual reminder to stay safe with the sun. I’m always pretty aware of my sun exposure, especially during the summer. But this year I am feeling even more determined to stay as safe as possible. I’m guilty of saying “ugh I’m so pale,” but I’m really trying to stop. Do I wish I…
Oh what a week it has been! I’ve been so overwhelmed with the home buying process that I can’t believe we actually live here now. Every morning I wake up (bright and early because we have temporary paper shades, ha) just feeling so excited all over again. This has been nothing short of a dream and…
All of last week’s outfits are from our trip to Nantucket. It was a perfect trip and in true Nantucket fashion, we got a little bit of everything weather wise. Each day was a little different: hot and humid, hot and windy, chilly and drizzly, rainy and breezy… You definitely have to pack for a…
I can’t believe that we’re officially in the second half of the year. When I think back to where I was on January 1… it wasn’t pretty. Carter came to my parents’ house to shoot some stock photos for my blog, and the minute I got into her car, I broke down in tears. I was crying…
Ah! I had a few rugby dresses back in the day and I’m so happy to see that they’re coming back. I had a Lacoste one that I wore all the time in high school. It’s fun to see trends come back around! This dress is from Nordstrom’s new 1901 line. It’s very J. Crew-esque with…
I’m writing this as a public service announcement for all women who have a period… my life will never be the same, haha, and I just had to share the best menstrual cup and my DivaCup review because I wish I had tried it sooner. But first some backstory. I was a very late bloomer. I…
This house has me excited for a lot of things and organization is, naturally, at the top of my list. It was way harder to keep things organized in my last two apartments. Namely, because they were small so everything was more like “hacks” than anything else. (Under the sink in my last apartment was so…
We had the best low-key vacation in Nantucket. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better week. Morning family dog walks, long beach days followed by a cool outdoor shower, and a warm Something Natural chocolate chip cookie before bed. I pretty much rotated through comfy pajamas, bathing suits, and easy dresses for the two…
We have been having the best time in Harbour Island this week as a family of three, and I think it’s put me in a summer state of mind. As much as I don’t want our vacation to end, I’m looking forward to all the fun things this summer has in store. In the peak…
… 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. 🫶🏻
