Jack’s second birthday is in less than three months! I can barely believe it. Where has the time gone?? He has everything he needs and more, but that hasn’t stopped me from brainstorming what to get him. I thought it’d be fun to round up some of the best gifts for 2 year olds –…
We’ve certainly had our first taste of summer here. It’s been so fun and kind of crazy already. This year feels like it’s flying by! LAST WEEK’S WIN: It felt like a really official kick off for summer this past weekend. I have to admit that as a parent, traveling just feels like such a big…
I know what you’re thinking by the title of the post. A cropped top?! But yes. This crop top is not like most though. It’s so chic and pairs well with high waisted bottoms, which happen to be available in abundance right now. I have a super long torso, so this top is extra cropped…
I am so ready to make the switch in my closet from cold to warm weather clothes! The other week I ran into Target for a quick errand and, well, you know what happens when you run into Target for one thing….. you end up with a cart load of things you didn’t plan on getting….
Someone DMed me this week about what I was shopping for. I thought I’d round up some of things I’ve recently purchased and what I have my eyes on… TOWEL TERRY POLO I want all things terry cloth! This polo looks exactly like what I want to wear for casual summer weekends with cut off…
Happy FRIDAY! Wow, I felt like we really earned this weekend after this week. I’m kind of crawling to the finish line here. Looking forward to a low-key weekend down the shore and, with any luck, we’ll be back in town for a fun day at our pond club on Monday which opens up for…
I wanted to share some of the best Memorial Day sales happening right now. Lots of great things– splurges and staples and everything in between. From J. Crew to Serena & Lily there are so many great Memorial Day deals! The Best Memorial Day Sales J. Crew // 40% off your purchase with code WEEKEND Dudley Stephens…
I just love playing with Jack. We have the best time together and it’s such a joy. The older he gets, the more I’ve been able to observe the way he looks at toys differently and discovers new ways of playing with them. It’s also so much fun being able to introduce ones that are…
It’s Tuesday again and I’m back with another week of outfits. Well, it’s almost a full week of outfits. I didn’t take a photo of my Tuesday outfit because I had a long day and didn’t have time for a shower… and it was just a hot mess. So no photo documentation of that, probably thankfully…
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
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 😛
