We’ve had a busy start to the summer! Nothing makes you appreciate “boring” like some real craziness. Last month I stocked up on some summer clothing basics for Jack and a few things for all the time we’re spending outside. Kid’s Navy Sneakers // These velcro sneakers are our go-to when playing at the park, and…
Confession: I intended for this to be a roundup of grandmillennial decor in general, but when I started picking the pieces, I noticed a pattern…. They were all blue!! So I just kept the theme going. We like what we like, right?! Haha! Ever since our recent interior design projects wrapped up, I’ve been hoping…
We’re settling into our vacation here on Nantucket and it’s been great! I am exhausted (anyone who has traveled with a toddler can probably relate), but it’s also been so amazing? It’s a crash into bed at 9pm kind of vacation! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Besides just having an overall great vacation so far, the best win…
While this wasn’t my best reading month overall numbers-wise, I read one of the best books of the year so that more than makes up for it!!! FOSTER DADE EXPLORES THE COSMOS by Nash Jenkins 5/5 Stars This. Book. I can’t remember the last time I read a book that gave me such an intense…
When I went to do this post, I thought no way had it been two weeks since the last one and, yep, confirmed. It’s been two weeks. WHY is this summer flying by so fast?! Anyway, here’s what we’ve been up to for the past two weeks(ish– cutting it off early so I can do a…
Wow, wow, wow! I am exhausted and happy and exhausted and did I mention happy? We’re on Nantucket for a couple of weeks as a family vacation. This is always my favorite place to be and this year is no exception. Traveling with a toddler is a lot, but I’m so excited to get into…
Needlepoint is my favorite way to unwind at the end of the day. It feels so meditative and it is the perfect activity to do while watching a show or listening to an audio book. I know, based on what people are searching here and what people are asking via email and DM, a lot of…
I take sun protection very seriously– my skin is pretty sensitive, especially being as pale as I am. With wider brims, sunhats offer top notch coverage while adding that “finishing touch” to your summer outfits. Over the years I’ve developed quite a collection, including my beloved Peter Beaton straw hat. While rounding up the best…
Back today with everything I wore last week! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We got hit with some less than ideal weather and usually it would really affect my mood. Luckily, we made the best of it! Jack and I got outside as much as possible in between thunderstorms and I took it as an excuse to be…
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
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 😛
