When I worked in an office, I remember deciding what to wear to work was particularly tricky during the summer. Between the scorching heat outside and frigid air conditioning inside, I felt like I could never win unless I layered, ha! Although the idea of layering in summer may sound a little crazy, it makes…
This post is sponsored by National Pork Board! Now that we have a baby, Mike and I have been trying to be way more intentional about our nights at home. We love going out, but there’s just a lot more coordination involved. We also both grew to appreciate how nice it was to enjoy our…
I am entering my floral era, apparently! I usually don’t gravitate towards prints (other than stripes, of course) so it’s kind of odd that I am like, “Hi give me all the florals” right now. I don’t hate it though. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Jack is sleeping through the night!!! After the worst week of sleep…
Jack turns one on Friday. I’m going to have a whole post dedicated to him, of course, but I wanted to talk about what it means for me too. This special milestone birthday also means that I’ve been a mom for a year. (Or, you know, almost since this is a few days ahead of…
A hodge podge of my recent Amazon purchases! WOOD PLAYPEN // I was looking for a playpen that wasn’t totally ugly for our basement. This one is great and it was super easy to put together. It’s already been a game changer for our indoor playtime. Keeps the baby safe and doesn’t look horrible. Win/win. LOBSTER…
Here are some highlights from the past two weeks…. according to my camera roll! I went crazy with photos and videos this trip. It felt so special to bring Jack to Mike’s favorite place!! We were both hopeful that he would like it…. and he loved it! The water is freezing and there aren’t a…
I’m not even sure which way is up as I write this. We are coming back from vacation– and I am finally feeling settled again. Jack and I both spent this week catching up on sleep and gearing up for his birthday!!! I cannot believe it’s already been a year. Have I been spontaneously getting…
While browsing online last week, I noticed J.Crew Factory added a bunch of new arrivals to their site. A few of these pieces are more on the transitional side, but they were too good not to share! I’m pretty confident that I own a similar version of all of them and can vouch that they’re…
I don’t really have a particular point to this post, other than to try to describe something that’s been on my mind. I have essentially dedicated the last year of my life to being a mom and, as I start to wean Jack, I’m ready to carve out more time for myself again. We haven’t…
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
