I feel I’ve lost track of time completely, which is a sign of a good vacation. Here’s what I’ve been wearing over the past week. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Having my sister in town was such a treat! It was great to hang out with her and to see her with Jack, of course, too. We listened…
Growing up, our summers started the first week of May and ended the first week of August. It’s hard to switch gears now that I’m in NJ where school just got out and won’t go back until September. I feel “late” to posting this summer reading post, even though the first official day of summer was…
Here’s another Diary post featuring a handful of fun photos over the past twoish weeks… I am absolutely loving my new kindle. I am going to do a longer post about it, but thank you to everyone who encouraged me to get one. I keep thinking, “What took me so long!” Jack celebrated his cousin Olivia’s…
As you read this, we are settling into our family vacation. (I’m writing this before we leave so I can be a little ahead and I’m hoping we are having a great time 😉.) This has been a short week for internet/social browsing between packing, my sister being in town, and then trying to cram…
This post is sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond and ShopStyle Collective. I’m not a natural host, but I married one! Mike loves having people over and when we first started dating I was so overwhelmed. We had people over at our apartment multiple times a week for all kinds of events. Big barbecues, small dinners, rowdy…
The Fourth of July is one of the highlights of my summer and brings back a lot of nostalgia. Growing up, my family took the Fourth very seriously. We’d travel to my grandparents’ house for a week at the beach and go all out. I loved the parades, fireworks, sparklers, and dressing up in red,…
What a week! I have been taking care of myself and carving out a little bit of time every day for myself and feel so much better. It’s so not groundbreaking, but I don’t know why it’s been so hard for me to really just do it. Working out on the Peloton or even just a power…
This is one of Tuckernuck’s best dresses they’ve ever done. I am obsessed, obsessed, obsessed. I posted about it on my Instagram stories a few times and each time it’s sold the dress out…. right now it’s sold out of most sizes, but I wanted to still post on my blog in case they do a…
It’s graduation season and I feel like I’m experiencing my own version of graduation. Jack just turned 10 months old and… he doesn’t look like a baby to me anymore. I also don’t feel like a new mom. Maybe it’s because a handful of my friends have recently had their first babies in the past…
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
