Here’s what life has looked like the past two weeks according to my camera roll: We had a fun sleepover with our nieces one weekend! So grateful to live near them– Jack had a sleepover at their house and then the next week we hosted the girls so they could have a date night. What…
PHEW! We made it to the end of the week and we made it to February. This week was an absolute doozy. We had multiple trips to the hospital in our family and it was just…. it was a lot. I’ve slowed down a lot, but I’m also finding bits of work the good kind…
Wow, did anyone else feel like January was 45 days long?! At the same time, I also can’t believe my due date month is here, and I am so excited for the baby to arrive! I’ve been doing a bit of Amazon shopping to prep and wanted to share what I bought on Amazon in…
I can’t believe this is my last post of January. Tomorrow we’ll officially be in my birth month! Valentine’s Day has never quite been my forte, but I’ve gotten better about celebrating it over the past couple of years– which I think has a lot to do with Jack and my desire to create picture…
At the end of 2022, I was inspired to try the 1,000 Hour Challenge with Jack for the 2023 year. I’m actually going to copy and paste the opening paragraph to the first blog post I wrote about this in April 2023: Some background first: I saw this 1,000 Hours Outside challenge all over TikTok…
This is really one of the last remaining outfits I could possibly pull together! This Mirth sweater dress has seen me through my second and third trimesters and it’s an MVP at this point. After a week of frigid, snowy, and icy weather we got a muggy week of rain. I was happy to see…
I’ve been loving Sezane’s selection lately and think it’s going to be one of the first retailers I place a shopping order with when I’m feeling a little more myself. Slash I might buy a thing or two just to look forward to?! Loose sweaters/tops seem to be a safe bet. I want to get this…
I was all over the place this week. Highs included going into the city for lunch with Sam! It felt so good to feel like myself with a cute outfit, real makeup, and I even took the time to really blow out my hair. I was also able to FINALLY get in what feels like…
Keeping it real! I just feel like more than anything, I’m wearing what works as a mom and in my third trimester! Comfortable jeans and leggings for the win. I’ve been coming across so many good staple pieces on Amazon lately that I had to round up a winter Amazon style edit! Most of the…
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!
