Whew, we had a week. The hurricane down in Florida really took most of my energy. Thankfully my family is safe– it was a relief. I’m definitely looking forward the long weekend ahead. Will be hitting up the playground, maybe doing some baking, and squeezing in some fall activities if possible too. We’re taking family…
The weather has been perfect the last couple of weeks and I am trying to soak up as much time outside as possible! Playing pickleball is such a great fall activity to get outdoors and a fun way to stay active while catching up with friends. I came across some very cute fall pickleball outfits that…
I get it. We haven’t even gotten to Halloween yet… Why are we talking about the holidays?! The thing is, the best kids holiday pajamas tend to launch AND sell out early. A handful of these have matching options for everyone in the family, if you usually do coordinating pajamas. Best Kids Holiday Pajamas 2024…
We hit the ground running this weekend with all the fall fun. Our town’s new playground opened up on Friday so we blew off bath and bedtime and stayed out extra late. Then we had soccer practice in the morning of Saturday and our town’s big fall festival in the afternoon. It was sunny and…
One of these days, I’ll get my act together so I post these earlier. With that said, it was a totally solid month of reading and I read what I think is a perfect novel. Truly the best book I’ve read all year… maybe ever? Here’s what I read in September 2024: THE WEDDING PEOPLE by Alison…
I’m usually pretty simple when it comes to my jewelry. The one place where I tend to mix things up the most is with earrings. Well, let me clarify. I usually end up finding a few pairs that I love and wear over and over again in a hyperfixation. I occasionally find myself wearing statement…
We had a cozy week at home. Lots of baking (I have been having so much fun with sourdough) and gearing up for spooky season. Jack understands what Halloween is now, so it’s been extra fun. His class did a neighborhood walk to go see some Halloween decorations in town and it’s all he’s been…
I’m slowly getting back into my normal routines after a fun and busy summer. Here’s a little roundup of what I snagged on Amazon in September—everything from home organization to everyday essentials that are making life feel just a bit more organized heading into fall! Double Stroller Organizer // If you have little kids, you know how quickly…
One of the best parts of the fall and winter months? Being COZY. I’ve amassed quite a collection of cozy clothes, which I’d like to think makes me a bit of an expert in them, haha. The first week of October seemed like the perfect time to round up a mix of my newer and…
… 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!
With @marthastewart48’s @netflix documentary releasing today, I invited some friends (👋🏻 @samanthavarvel and @shihstitches) over to my studio to peruse my new-to-me collection of @marthastewart Living magazines. I grew up with a “Martha Stewart Mom” and read her magazines every month alongside her. They have brought back so many memories, and they are serving up new inspiration now! I used to want to be a magazine editor, I’m sure influenced by magazines like Martha Stewart Living, and now that I’ve had a chance to revisit them, it’s not a crazy surprise I ended up as a blogger-turned-influencer. I’ve always loved this, and it’s a good thing. 🫶🏻
