I’m feeling a little all over the place lately. Life, work, motherhood. Trying to find a rhythm while also trying to just go with the flow and then trying to find the rhythm of going with the flow 🤣 We are definitely in summer mode, which I have been craving, but there’s just a lot to…
I am hooked on Soto Method, and just had to give you my official Soto Method review. A friend of mine recommended it to me when I was lamenting feeling out of shape postpartum. I was really struggling, with body image, yes… but also just feeling so weak. My body went through it during my pregnancy…

This week nearly did me in! We had a great weekend down the shore, but it’s just so much more exhausting as a mom. I would love to sit on the beach with a book…. but motherhood has different plans! Like a lot of the country, we also had a heat wave hit us and,…
We leave for Nantucket next week on our annual family vacation, and I am so excited to be spending the 4th of July on island again! This is always my favorite place to be and this year is no exception. I’m slowly starting to pack for our trip and have been thinking about what to wear,…
Seeing pictures from friends’ vacations has me counting down the days to our annual Nantucket trip!! Jack has been loving the water lately and I’m looking forward to introducing Rory to our happy place. This is also the time of year my daydreaming of a second home on Nantucket goes into overdrive…. Decorating with a…
Welcome back to another post of my outfits from last week! It’s a little short because we went down the shore for the weekend and I didn’t document my outfits at all. Really kept it casual. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Finishing my 75 Soft challenge as definitely my biggest win. It was a long two and…
This past winter, especially around the new year, I was seeing so many videos about the 75 Hard challenge. The 75 Hard is truly a challenge; it includes doing the following for 75 days straight (and restarting the clock if you fail one day!): This is actually a 75 Soft challenge recap, first I’m going…
Here’s what I’ve been up to the last two weeks according to my camera roll: My sister in laws and I went out for dinner and had the best time. The restaurant didn’t have the a/c on though (it was warmer inside than it was outside!) and we were all melting. I 100% had the…

Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche.usa
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
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.
