I have a slight obsession with grammar and have been known to send textbooks letters explaining what they said or did was wrong. Oddly, I’m not really that great about my own grammar and I NEVER re-read my own posts because most of the time I’m in a time crunch. There have been incidents, however,…
Thank goodness we’re getting out of town this weekend. I am incredibly sick of this rain!!! Even if it rains while we’re at the beach, it’ll be better than being cooped up in the house. Sporty Sister is in Spain… I’m so jealous! We’ve been getting the occasional Facebook message. (Mine today: “I had something to tell…
A few days ago, my family went out to dinner. There was the cutest little baby sitting in a high chair right by our booth. We thought she was just cute as a button. My dad thought she had dropped a toy, so he picked it up and handed it to her mom. Well, it…
I bought watercolors a few weeks ago, but I gave up trying to figure it out after about 30 minutes. I put the paint, brushes, and paper away and sort of forgot about it. Yesterday, though, I decided to try it out again. With my new determination, I set out to recreate some of my…
Friday was Soccer Mom’s birthday. Stacy had a “Bon Voyage Party” (she left for Spain yesterday) with her friend’s family. I made a cake to bring along for dessert. I went through so many pages of Martha Stewart cakes, but none of them were right for SM’s cake. I finally found a picture of a…
As I have posted before (here and here), Soccer Mom found a bunch of Lilly’s at a fabulous consignment shop around the corner from my house. It is literally fantastic. We pretty much bought them out of all the best patterns. We’ve been using the fabric to make all sorts of projects. (Making the first…
Yesterday, Soccer Mom and I went to my absolute favorite shops. Kate McKenzie is my NUMBER ONE favorite because it carries the absolute BEST brands: Lilly, Vineyard Vines, Lily Pad, Molly B, Just Madras, Lacoste, and more! The owner is just an absolute sweetheart. She always calls my mom or me to let me know…
Julie & Julia looks amazing! Check out the trailer HERE! Can’t wait to see it…. My two favorite things: Cooking & Writing! -College Prepster
Last summer, I was hooked on Desperate Housewives. I watched every episode over the course of my vacation… This year, I am OBSESSED with The Partridge Family. I’ve been watching full episodes on Hulu.com. They are hilarious! Oh goodness, I might have to check into rehab… David Cassidy= LOVE. I really was born in…
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 😛
#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!
