Cookies
After seeing some of my earlier posts about my cookie creations, some of my friends wanted me to make cookies for them! Obviously, being so obsessed lately, I happily agreed to. I made these fun pink & green cookies for my friend’s surprise party! The pink bucket is from Michael’s… and I took seersucker fabric…
How do you Moms do it???
Oh my lord, I have had quite the week. I am absolutely exhausted. “Camp Carly” started on Monday. I had agreed to babysit a family friend’s 10 year old boy while she drove her oldest son back to college in Massachusetts. I drove to his house before his dad and other brother left for work….
Shopping Theme Park
Soccer Mom and I love to shop and decided to check out some stores we hadn’t visited. A few days ago, we went to Home Goods. There was a Home Goods near where we lived in Massachusetts, but I hadn’t been to the one here. It’s about 25 minutes away. I considered it more of…
Not much to post about…
I don’t have much to post about… I’ve just been hanging out without any cares in the world. To beat the heat, SM & I went to the movies on Saturday. We saw “My Life in Ruins.” Not an award winning movie, but a great summer chick flick nonetheless! We cracked up the whole time!…
SURPRISE GIVEAWAY!
Well… it’s just a baby giveaway… But… This could be yours! Nautical wooden frame with your monogram! Here’s the deal! Who: You, silly! What: I want to see everyone’s favorite BEACH photo. Where: Any beach (lakes count, too!) When: The deadline for this mini is on next Friday, June 12th. Why: I’ve literally been craving…
Monogrammed Hospital Gowns
I don’t know how many of y’all get Daily Candy emails, but they highlight some really great finds! This morning I had an email for DK Kids. It featured a brand called Dear Johnnies. I clicked the link and was so surprised! CUTE HOSPITAL GOWNS (and they can be monogrammed)! Rachel Zinny started making the…
Sweet Summertime
Summer afternoon – summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James I could not agree more. This week has just been wonderful. I’ve let my mind get a little bit too much in “summer mode” and I had to start writing down all my…

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!
