After I wrote yesterday’s blog post, I was inspired to start looking for fun fall fashion finds for toddler and baby boys. Rory and Jack are almost exactly 2.5 years apart so they’re different sizes in different seasons. I realized I’m going to have to get him some warmer weather items and Jack is growing…
What a nice week here in NJ! We kicked things off celebrating Jack’s third birthday and it was everything and then some. Toddlerhood is a full contact sport but oh my gosh is it fun and Rory is a classic second child right now just trying to keep up. Here’s what has been on my…
I love browsing J.Crew whenever they add new arrivals and they just dropped a pre-fall collection earlier this week with a mix of transitional pieces and fall staples. It’s making me very excited for cooler weather and I wanted to round up a few of my favorite finds. Merino Crewneck // Cotton Poplin Shirtdress //…
I’m a denim girl through and through. My time is usually spent either parenting or working from home, so once the weather cools down, it just makes sense. I’ve tried a lot of jeans through the years and have a pretty good idea of what works for me: high waisted with only a little bit…
I feel like we lived through a full month in the last seven days!! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We really had so many “wins” last week. I would be remiss to not mention that a major win was our house and garage surviving the craziest storm with minimal damage. Then my girlfriends and I had the…
Earlier this summer I had sent a friend a list of all the things I was doing and that I was utterly exhausted. I shared it to Instagram… Someone snarkily messaged me back saying, “imagine being stressed out about meditating.” And the thing is…. I’m not stressed out by these things. I’m overcome with the…
I am absolutely in love with Loeffler Randall’s fall collection right now. Of course, as you might suspect, blue gingham is hard for me to resist. With that said, I’m more inclined to work it into outfits in the spring and summer months. I thought it could be fun to put together some fall outfits…
Here’s what we have been up to according to my camera roll the past couple of weeks: We have been savoring the last bit of Mike’s parental leave as a family by squeezing in some fun summertime adventures. The four of headed to a putt putt place by us for an afternoon of “golfing.” I love…
We had one of the craziest weeks since moving here five years ago. A huge storm blew through and our town got a “direct hit.” (The National Weather Service was here to investigate and everything!) It definitely seemed like a bad storm and then for about sixty seconds it turned into a next level crazy storm. I’ve…
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!
