As you guys know by now, I love thredUP. It’s one of my favorite places to treasure hunt for great clothes at great prices. I’ve actually felt a little un-inspired for summer shopping, until I started going through thredUP for a few summer staples. I added so many things to my cart– I just kept…
It’s time for another round up of what I read! I did read quite a bit in June. It’s notoriously a slow month for me, pandemic or not, so I try to just relish the slower days. THE KNOCKOUT QUEEN: 5/5 Stars This one surprised me. It’s about two teenage neighbors who become unlikely close…
You guys know by now how much I LOVE audiobooks. They’ve become my favorite way to consume books… which is a huge change for me. The production quality has gone up significantly lately and I know publishers are investing in making audiobooks as engaging and entertaining as possible. One of my favorite ways to listen…
Even though I’ve never pictured myself having a big wedding, I have saved some images on Instagram. Mike knows I’m Team Elopement and he’s Team 400 Person Wedding. (I’d like my parents, sister, grandma, and a handful of my closest friends to be at my wedding and Mike’s the kind of guy who has fifty…
Time for another round up of iPhone snaps. I have been on a sewing spree. I can’t stop! I actually am finding it to be such a great thing to do at the end of a long day. I’ve been popping headphones in and listening to podcasts or music while I sew away. It’s very meditative…
Ducked away from the most wonderful week in upstate New York to write this. I just have been on cloud nine. It’s been nice to mix up our routine in a safe way and it’s been so fun to celebrate our engagement with Mike’s family. Lots of reading and lawn games this week!! ONE //…
Mike proposed last Friday night! I think I’m still in a little bit of a daze because it caught me so off guard. Most of the night is kind of a blur because I was on cloud nine, but it was a perfect night. I knew Mike was proposing this summer, but I really didn’t…
With gorgeous summer weather here in full force, we have been ALL ABOUT dining al fresco. We still haven’t ventured to restaurants yet (our town just started allowing outdoor seating), but we have been cooking a lot at home to eat outside, or when we’re feeling ~fancy~ ordering curbside pick up to bring home to eat….
Anyone else in the mood for a new playlist? I don’t really have a method for making these playlists, I just add songs that I like as I hear them and try them to around an hour… This one ended up a little more mellow than they usually are. It’s a great one to put…
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL.

Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
Moisture rich balm + Ritual Oil + Balancing Mist
