I got back from Copenhagen Sunday afternoon and was sooooo excited to be reunited with Jack. Mike is still in London for work, so Jack and I had some extra one-on-one time. We also had our first proper snowstorm of the winter season!! All of the youngest kids in the neighborhood got together for sledding–…
Excited to introduce a new monthly series! I love discovering other people’s Amazon favorites and don’t always have a reason to share the random gadgets and things I order, but I thought this could be a fun way to share some of the things I bought on Amazon over the month. Kids Yeti Tumbler // Our…
Kind of a hit and miss month with reading. TO RAISE A BOY by Emma Brown 5/5 Stars The full title is To Raise a Boy: Classrooms, Locker Rooms, Bedrooms, and the Hidden Struggles of American Boyhood. It dives deep into what it’s like to be a boy growing up and the unique challenges they…
Back with another week of outfits! I was kind of hoping it would be a more exciting week of outfits with our trip. But it ended up being a super rainy and very cold few days, so nope! Nothing too exciting. I will say, I was so comfortable and warm, despite the weather so overall…
There are plenty of weird things about being a content creator. Something I’ve experienced for years is people reaching out to me with in depth questions. I’m always happy to share my personal experience, as appropriate and as long as I’m comfortable sharing, but I always try to make it clear: I am not an…
I got my ears pierced in November while I was in Florida for Thanksgiving! It was my second piercing and, honestly, felt like a big deal to me. I had my ears pierced originally when I was a toddler so I only have a very, very vague memory of getting them pierced. (If you’re curious,…
Happy Friday! I pre-wrote this before our Copenhagen trip. Can’t wait to share everything we did while there– fingers crossed for a great trip. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Cable Cardigans I have two similar cardigans from J. Crew that sold out within a couple of weeks. But I…
I’ve had a lot of success with my Amazon clothing purchases recently, which feels like a small win since Amazon can be such a hit or miss for me! I find I have the most success when I have something specific in mind and read reviews. Amazon’s in-house brands, like The Drop and Amazon Essentials,…
I have a feeling we’re about to see more people take to blogging– or come back to it. I obviously have a vested interest in blogging “coming back” since I, duh, blog. But I’m not even coming from this as a blogger exactly, but more as a consumer of social media who happens to also…
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
