I’m a little in denial about the year coming to an end! One great thing about having a blog is that it serves as a nice reminder of where I was (mentally and physically!) at any given point in time. Documenting my life can be weird at times, but I can’t deny that I love looking…
Being nice takes just as much energy as being negative. I try to remember this everywhere I go…. saying hello to the barista at Starbucks, holding the elevator for someone down the hallway, or letting someone into the lane on the highway. You never know what someone might be dealing with in their life, even if…
Maxie and I are very different in a lot of ways, but we also have some of the same quirks. I think that following rituals is one thing we both do– and love. For me, it’s all about taking a few small moments throughout the day to slow down, decompress, and gain perspective. 5 Rituals That…
There are way too many times when I’ve held myself back because I was waiting for the perfect moment to start or had a slew of excuses at the ready. The key to just getting it (whatever “it” might be) done is to stop looking for perfection, stop making excuses, and to stop waiting for…
As I read this post from Maxie McCoy to queue up for today, I kept nodding and nodding and nodding. I’ve let fear hold me back and have used these tactics too. They work. I’d even add that they work for asking for something, but also translate to just getting sh!t done. Scared to Ask For…
When I watched the Apple presentation in September, I was blown away by the new Apple Watch. The thing is, I have an Apple Watch already. I wear it frequently, but not every day. The new watch though has cellular, which means you can walk away from your phone and still be “connected” without feeling tethered….
Valentine’s Day can feel super commercial and cheesy (although I still find that fun). Regardless of the pomp and circumstance, it’s a good reminder just to celebrate love. Celebrate Love, Coupled or Not Guest post by Maxie McCoy It’s that time of year again! The shelves are brimming with pink and red candies. Flower shops…
My mom and sister and I all hopped on the universe train a few years ago after reading this book. I mention it from time to time to other people and they either look at me like I have three heads or they nod in complete agreement having experienced the moments themselves too. It drives…
Okay, so the truth is that when Maxie went to India, I was so jealous of her Instagram photos. They were incredible and she looked cool, calm, and collected. Like she was having the absolute TIME OF HER LIFE. She also looked like a true professional travel in her beautiful and flowy outfits. So glad she…
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!
