Whoops! SO delayed in posting this. I held off on posting what I read in July because it was such a bad reading month. (Usually vacation is a great time to read… with an infant and toddler? Not so much!) Here’s what I read in July & August: JUST LAST NIGHT by Mhairi McFarlane 3.5/5 Stars I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to the past couple of weeks, according to my camera roll! These huggies are turning into my favorite pair of “fun” earrings. I’m usually just so boring with my earrings on an everyday basis. These feel wearable and not too over the top but a little more visually interesting! (Here…
This was a big week for us! I celebrated my 35th birthday, we closed out summer, Jack started preschool, Rory had his first day of daycare, and Mike and I celebrated our fourth anniversary. It felt so good to get back into a routine, honestly. Especially with work picking up ahead of the fourth quarter,…
One of my goals as a mom is to make sure we’re not only making memories as a family, but that we’re also staying on top of capturing the memories, too. I love taking photos of my family, both big special moments (like vacations) and also the everyday moments (like the boys playing together in the nursery)….
I’m excited to be heading into fall and craving routine and organization after a very fun and full summer! Here’s a look at what I bought on Amazon last month. What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking Cookbook // I have been in a cooking rut lately and am trying to branch out! I…
Brown is having a moment right now, and I’ve been seeing a LOT of all brown outfits! I don’t think the color is necessarily flattering on me, but I’m inspired by what everyone’s been wearing. If I were to hop on the trend, I’d go with beige and brown outfits– the combination just looks so…
Summer is (un)officially over here and I know the whole family is craving routine again. Normally I find that summer flies by, especially after the Fourth of July. But wow, this felt like the longest summer. It was FULL, it was FUN, but it was also exhausting. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Whew, it was our last known…
I’m looking forward to a nice long weekend! Lots of changes hitting our family next week with preschool and daycare. It will be a big week for everyone, so I’m soaking up the last bit of summer (and getting the last of the daycare supplies labeled and organized). Hope everyone has a happy weekend! Short…
As summer comes to a close and we get back into our normal routines with school and work, it’s fun to refresh your workwear with a few key pieces. I’m a big fan of filling your closet with staple pieces that you can mix and match. Whether you’re heading into the office or working from home,…
… 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!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
