I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what to pack for daycare. I don’t know if there’s a season for starting daycare, but it definitely feels like there’s a lot of babies starting according to my DMs! (And if you want to know more about why we chose daycare, I go into our thought…
We had a great week– one of those weeks where I just thank my lucky stars and feel grateful for everything. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I went out with a few of my neighbors last week. We are so lucky for our street. When we moved here, we were the youngest couple and over the course of…
I only somewhat recently invested in my first designer bag. They’re definitely extravagant purchases and not totally necessary. Is my life better because I have a designer bag (or two), no. But with that said, I really do enjoy my two handbags. Just prefacing this post with that, because I recognize it’s not an everyday…
Easter was such a fun part of my childhood, and I love carrying on and starting new traditions now that I am a mom myself. It makes me so happy to think about Jack and his cousins running around our backyard hunting for eggs, and I love picking out his cute pastel outfit for Easter….
It’s been over a YEAR since I put together this post about finding my personal style. I think I’m finally starting to feel better about my personal style…. Not that I feel like I have great style, lol, but I really feel comfortable with what I’m wearing and that alone is a huge win. I…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’ve had a relatively normal week over here, which is honestly a relief! A nor’easter did roll through early in the week, but thankfully we were spared the worst of it! The wind was more intense than the snow, but it could have been a lot worse. A highlight of the…
Have you been following my jeans try-on situation? Last month I shared a jeans try-on on Instagram stories, although I usually hate trying jeans on, this has been a surprisingly fun experiment trying out new brands and styles. I saved a highlight to my IG story in case you want to catch up. So far these are my…
This such strange timing to make a blog post about needlepoint stockings. It’s March! Everyone is counting down the days until spring! Well, maybe it’s because it feels like a winter wonderland as I’m writing this (we are getting the tail end of a nor’easter) or because I’m in the thick of stitching Mike’s stocking…….
LAST WEEK’S WIN: How can I choose?! My cup overflowed last week. Lots of fun with Jack. A new, great schedule for us. Time with friends. Hours and hours outside. The most fun pickleball lesson we’ve had to date. A spontaneous sleepover with our nieces. (I even saw and met some celebrities?!) It was just a…
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_us!
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.
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
