Oh, man… details. I’m normally a pretty detail-oriented person, but occasionally I let things slip. It usually happens when I’m tired or have too much on my plate. One week, I missed a flight because I went to the wrong airport and missed a train because I had the stations reversed. It made me take…
I have a confession right now: I’m so sick of my phone. And the really sad part about this? I have a number of friends who feel the same way. I recently talked Maxie off of the ledge as she was tempted to trade her iPhone in for a flip phone. I 100% understood where…
Maxie texted me the other week about a “mistake” she had made. (I use the word lightly because I don’t even consider it a mistake so much as a learning lesson!) She was sort of beating herself up over it and totally didn’t have to. Was it an ideal situation? Nope! But she made the…
You know how people say that hindsight is 20/20? This is the reverse. I’m so on board with Maxie’s mantra here. I personally use it frequently! One Question That REALLY Helps When You’re Stressed Out Guest post by Maxie McCoy There’s not a human on this earth that doesn’t get completely frazzled, overwhelmed, or stressed out…
I think Maxie may have been reading my mind when she wrote this. I’ve been in my own way for a major project… for six months. I let one thought sink in and it spiraled to downright paralysis. Only this past week have I been able to get out of my own head and it…
One thing that I think is a big struggle for our generation (and even more for the younger generation) is feeling lonely or alone, despite being more connected than ever. (At least, “on paper” at least there’s more connections happening through social media and the internet.) But once you start to take stock of who is…
As we move into the last month of the year (!!!), don’t feel like you’ve run out of time to start something or to finish strong. It’s easy to think of starting fresh on January 1, but think of how great it would be to have a head start on that. Loving Maxie’s tips on…
Ugh! I love this guest post from Maxie so much. I find myself wondering about decisions I’ve made and whether or not they were the right ones. I actually worry before, during, and after I’ve made the decision about whether it’s the right one to be making. That’s no way to go through life! How to…
This is SUCH funny timing for this post. Maxie always sends me drafts and sometimes I’m good and queue it up early… and other times I’m lazy (like now!) and put it off until the night before. So I’m writing this intro on Sunday night and tomorrow is Day 1 of a training plan I’m…
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!
