Our friends are hosting a little get together tonight for Cinco de Mayo. I’m excited to kick off the weekend with friends and, hallelujah, it looks like we’re going to have beautiful spring weather to enjoy. Woo! Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Eco-Adventure Passport Micro Kickboard hooked Jack up…
Graduation season is here, so I’m rounding up a few fun and practical graduation gifts for the grad in your life. My biggest tip to graduates and parents is to opt for the practical. It may not be as much fun, but it will help set you up for success in the future. When I…
Here’s what I read last month. Honestly one of my better reading months and I hope you find a title or two you want to add to your TBR pile. ADELAIDE by Genevieve Wheeler 4.5/5 Stars This was an excellent book that felt very “real.” I can actually see people finding the characters, namely the partner…
This week was filled with fun things! Mike was out of town this past weekend so Jack and I held the fort down… and naturally we had the worst weather. It rained so hard for so long… we were feeling cooped out but still tried to get outside. (I was going stir crazy.) LAST WEEK’S…
With wedding season in full swing, I’ve started receiving more requests for wedding guest dresses to wear this spring and summer. Finding the right dress to wear as a wedding guest can be a challenge. Wedding invitations often have hard to interpret dress codes, and finding an event dress on a budget can be time…
We’re a few weeks away from Mother’s Day, and I’m already starting the hunt. Although Mother’s Day is not about gifts, it’s hard to resist when you find something that feels like her! There are so many fun things to shower mom with love. And whether you’re spending the day with your mom or celebrating…
Happy Saturday! It’s another month which means another round of new arrivals from J. Crew. A little bit of spring…. but also the first taste of summer. I can’t lie, this has me excited. I always love J. Crew’s navys and blues (of course), but I’ve been particularly vibing with the greens, pinks, and (!!!!) the…
I had a glorious week of catching up on work. There’s this crazy phenomenon that happens all the time… there will be this “dead week” where no no work is coming in, so you kind of panic thinking, “okay it’s over,” and then boom everything comes all at once and everything is due all at once….
This post is sponsored by Haverhill. One of my very favorite pieces of jewelry is my personalized 1 letter 1 birthstone necklace from Haverhill. I wear it every day and, in fact, never take it off. That’s one of my favorite things about jewelry from Haverhill. Every piece is designed to be lived in no matter…
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 😛
