Maxie nails it yet again (I mean, when doesn’t she though?). One of my biggest fears is being lost. Remember MapQuest? I used to print out five versions just in case I got lost along the way– Google maps is my favorite thing ever. And I definitely avoid feeling “lost” generally speaking. However, Maxie is…
Maxie’s back today with a timely piece about Valentine’s Day. It can be a dreaded day for single girls or even a stressful day if you’re anxious to have the perfect plans. But it’s really about L-O-V-E, in all sorts of ways, not just the expected. I love Maxie’s tips for making the most of…
When she sends me the Google doc with the draft of the post, I always am at the edge of my seat to see what it’s going to be about! It’s like Maxie reads my mind every week. I’ve been trying to wear more makeup, and to wear it better, but the lipstick thing makes…
Ugh! Feeling FOMO is not fun– I love Maxie’s tips for dealing with it. I personally feel it so much more with Snapchat around more than anything else. I wish I was better about it, but I definitely succumb to that feeling of “ugh, so and so looks like she’s having the best night ever.”…
Whoa! Where did 2014 go?! With the New Year right around the corner, Maxie has some really great advice to wrap up this year. I know I’m excited for new beginnings, but it’s definitely worth checking off everything from Maxie’s list! Your Final To Do Before the New Year Guest Post by Maxie McCoy What if…
After six years of guest posts from Maxie (six years!!!!), today is the last. It’s very bittersweet! I’m forever grateful to Maxie and I’m so proud of what this bi-monthly column has done over the years! How to Deal with Bittersweet Goodbyes Guest post by Maxie McCoy Everything ends. At some point – whether in…
I will say that I love all of Maxie’s posts, but I especially love this one! I’ve been toying with some things and going back and forth with a few others. And still, I have yet to make the first moves. Totally taking Maxie’s suggestions here to get the ball rolling! 3 Ways to Actually Make your…
Maxie is back today with some great advice about new situations. I’ve been finding myself in more and more situations where I don’t know anyone (on trips, at the yoga studio) and, while it used to be one of my greatest fears, I’ve been embracing it with an open mind. Maxie provides some great, tangible…
Maxie’s book You’re Not Lost comes out TOMORROW. I got an advanced copy of it and finished it this weekend. It was amazing and I’m not just saying that because I’m her friend. I feel like everyone experiences the feeling of being lost or directionless in life. I’ve preordered it for so many of my friends already…
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!
