It was a nice and quiet week at home. We got our Christmas tree all set up and as many decorations as I had the energy for. I must admit that I was being a big ole grinch about it, but had to get it set up early this week for an upcoming campaign. I’m…
With the season for holiday parties in full swing, I wanted to share some fun and festive outfits you can wear to holiday events this year. I’ll take any chance to get a little dressed up and spend time with close friends, especially after last year’s lack of festivities. Although I have a pretty good…
We took these photos a couple of weeks ago and I’m sad to report that almost all of the leaves around here have already fallen. We’ve even gotten some great little flurries! It’s helping me embrace the impending winter. Anyway, it’s just hard to believe how much has changed in such a short period of…
I am in denial that tomorrow is December. HOW. Remember when school years would stretch on for eternity??? Third grade never seemed to end…. And now? I feel like I blink and entire month has gone by. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I had such a great time having my parents and sister here for Thanksgiving! There…
I had a different post queued up for today, but this has been on my mind quite a bit. I’m a very, very competitive person. While being competitive has its perks, it’s actually something I wish I could shed. There’s no “off” switch for me. It’s great to be competitive when you need to push…
After getting a little taste of all the fun to come with Jack over Halloween, I’ve been thinking a lot about his first Christmas. While he may still be too young to understand, I’m excited to watch him discover this season for the first time. I’ve been having way more fun shopping for babies and…
I feel like retailers start their Black Friday sales earlier and earlier each year. So I decided to publish my blog post a little earlier for those interested in shopping early this year— for yourself or Christmas gifts. I rounded up some of my favorite retailers’ Black Friday sales with my top picks from each….
This past week was a bit of a whirlwind. It’s such a different type of holiday season in terms of work as things move towards Cyber Week(s) versus Black Friday/Cyber Monday… then add in the whole global supply chain issue and, well, it’s just different. I’m also personally relying on my team more than ever…
I wanted to update the baby products we have used so far during the first three months. I already did a post about we used during the first month, which I’m going to do a top-level sweep of here just so it’s in one place. But definitely check out that post if you want a…
girlhood 🫶🏻 find friends who want to do the same little hobbies as you! Went over to @shihstitches’ house yesterday to give her some sourdough starter and go through the basics (I’m *very much* a beginner so I told her to take my lesson with a grain of salt)
PS convinced her to make an IG account! @blueskyehouse
PPS she’s convincing me I really do need a fancy range like her ✨ stunning ✨ @lacanche_us!
Just a girl searching for the perfect digital planner solution. What I have right now is working, technically speaking, but I’m working across platforms and ideally I’d love everything to be in one place. I also have calendar synesthesia (IYKYK) and I physically feel myself in space moving through my calendar, which makes finding a planner difficult because I want/need it to match up with what I see in my head I know this sounds insane but if you also “see” time, you know what I mean!
Right now I’m using:
– Google Sheets to track campaigns/business line items
– Google docs for writing/brainstorming
– Google/Apple Calendars (somehow they’re integrated and I don’t ask questions because it just works...)
– Apple Notes for daily to-dos, random note keeping, and quick jot downs
– Apple Reminders for “must dos” esp w/ deadlines
– Dropbox for photo/file storage
I’m craving a good ole fashioned paper planner but the reality is that I need it to be digital. I need it to integrate with my calendar and remind me of tasks. I need to be able to access it on my computer when I’m working at my desk and on my phone when I’m on the go. I need structure and flexibility?
Does the perfect digital planner exist?! Do I need to overcome my overwhelm and tackle @notionhq? Is an @apple iPad the solution? Do I just keep doing what I’m doing because it’s technically working?
If you’ve stuck around to the end, I appreciate you 🫡
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
