These are drool-worthy dishes from Louisa today. Cheesy breads, baked brie, nachos, popcorn… what’s not to love?! All of these are great options if you’re having people over or heading over to someone’s house for the holidays. YUM. 7 Savory Recipes for Every Holiday Occasion Guest post by Louisa from Living Lou While I love…
I partnered with ALDI this holiday season and I couldn’t be more excited to share this post with you. I recruited my mom’s help for it and we are both fully ALDI converts. We had a blast grocery shopping and finding all kinds of products in each aisle. I had half the cart filled after going…
We had THE BEST time and it ended up being our most low-key holiday yet… and we loved it. I go home to Tampa quite often and honestly, we do the same things over and over again. We’re at home 90% of the time and then go to our favorite places. I’m not going to…
I’m really not going to say much right now. I have no real plans today… some things to do, sure, but no specific plans. And I’m living for it. I try so hard to slow down on weekends now (best decision I ever made for myself) and it’s changed my perspective on the workweek. That’s…
Throughout most of this year, I was re-watching the entirety of The Office. It’s just so good and only gets better the more you watch it. I was kind of devastated when I finished the last episode (for the second time)…. what was I going to watch next? I do my best to read books and…
I am FULLY in the holiday spirit right now. Maybe it was the freak snow storm we had a couple of weeks ago. Or the fact that I’ve had a Christmas tree up in my office for the majority of the month. Or that my mom got me absolutely hooked on peppermint mochas from Starbucks…
I took these photos over a month ago (🤷🏻♀️), but I’m honestly glad I waited to post because the dress I’m wearing is 40% off right now and available in quite a few sizes still. It’s a Nordstrom exclusive dress and I hadn’t seen it really anywhere except for Nordstrom…. but it totally deserves more airtime….
Opening our stockings was always my favorite part of Christmas as a kid. Our stockings would have some things in it (like candy), but generally, our stockings were laid out on a couch (one for Stacy, one for me) and then all of our gifts from Santa were scattered around the stockings. Now that I’m thinking…
Even though I don’t live in NYC anymore, I’m just across the Hudson River in Hoboken, so getting into the city is as easy as could be. When I lived in Connecticut, I’d go in once or twice a week because it was an hour train ride, but now I go in pretty much every…
If your goals for 2025 include reading more and having better habits, @audible audiobooks are about to be your best friend! I love listening to audiobooks, especially when they help me become a better person, wife, friend, mom, etc. January is the perfect time to dive into one and cross two of your goals off at once. I’m listening to Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory and it’s blowing my mind– “let them” is such a simple phrase and yet the impact is POWERFUL.

Can we bring this kind of outfit of the day video over to this app 👀 tell me if you like it or hate it- in light of everything, trying to experiment! If you want links to what I’m wearing, leave a comment with “OUTFIT” and I’ll send it over!
Sorry for the jump scare… but go ahead and add “great at multitasking” to my resume 😆 is it habit stacking or just survival mode? Every morning, I’ve been doing a red light session with my @omniluxled face mask, while listening to an audiobook, and I spend the 10 minutes tidying up. I make the beds, put laundry away, straighten up the boys’ toys… I always feel on top of the world and like I can do anything 😆
I’ve been hesitant to add new skincare products to my daily routine because I don’t want to disrupt my healthy skin… I tested @oakessentials skincare line though and it’s now a staple in my weekly routine. I’m using these three 2-3x a week (the night before hair wash days!) and my skin is SO moisturized and hydrated!!
Moisture rich balm + Ritual Oil + Balancing Mist
(Why has no one been using this song for this trend? Literally all that I hear whenever I see another “ins and outs” trend 😆)

Yes, I’m an iPad adult now ✌🏻 I have been feeling all over the place with how I stay organized. In a dream world, I’d have a good ole fashioned paper planner, but I need something digital that I can access wherever I am and set alarms and reminders and appointments in my digital calendar. Kicking the new year off with a fresh iPad in the hopes that it helps?? Kind of felt like back to school shopping with fresh school supplies (but more expensive lol)… here’s to an organized twenty twenty five!! 🥂
PS I am trying out @goodmondayspaper on @goodnotes.app and went with an 11” iPad Air!
