It’s raining again here in DC. Yuck. I had a mini debate this morning about whether to wear Wellies vs. Bean Boots. I chose my J. Crew Wellies, because I plan on wearing my Bean Boots to crew practice. I hate having to walk to class balancing my laptop, cellphone, tote bag, umbrella, etc. Speaking…
The other day, my Grandma emailed me a picture of herself from when she was younger. First, let me tell you that she is extremely technologically advanced for any generation. I get text messages… Yes, TEXTS… from her throughout the day. Clearly, my love for ribbons and bows is genetic! -College Prepster
I love Soccer Mom. She knows me way too well! She bought me the absolute cutest Lilly dresses and shipped them up to me! They’re a smidge too big, but nothing a couple of darts can’t fix. She also bought a vineyard vines halter top in the cutest pattern and bermuda shorts. Unfortunately, they’re both…
I’m not used to the weather still being cold. I mean, hello: It’s almost April! Friday was even the first official day of Spring, but it was still so cold! I really was in the mood to wear a springy dress, preferably Lilly. Instead, I had to opt for a sweater and jeans. Again. I…
Yesterday was the first glimpse of spring! It was a little windy, but the temperature was definitely in the “warm” category! I was planning on writing my next blog on the cutest croakie that one of my best friends gave me for graduation. Of course, it’s monogrammed. For practice, I normally have my hands…
I was going to post this earlier, but I haven’t had time!!! Tucker Blair is having a St. Patrick’s Day sale! I posted about them earlier and love love love the headbands! Type in stpatty for 25% off! -College Prepster
I know, I know.. I’ve been gone for so long! I’ve really tried to keep up with everyone else’s blogs though. I cannot begin to tell you how crazy this past week has been. Spring training is an intense week of eating, sleeping, team bonding, and, of course, rowing. I won’t go into all of…
I’m been a bit out of the blogging loop. I’ve been so busy! I last posted on Thursday. I was exhausted Thursday night and didn’t have the energy to study for my spanish quiz, but that meant I had to wake up extra early to study before class. It was a bit more difficult than…
I just love love love Lilly Pulitzer bathing suits… I’m typing this as I eat Girl Scout cookies… Hmmm… Anyways.. First, let me say how I am not a fan of the beach. I have very pale skin and the sun is not my friend. My family always ends up going to the beach for vacations…
… 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 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
