I drove back from the lake on Monday and then just had a VERY low-key week of working from home. Work has been crazy but in a great way– lots of exciting things coming down the pipeline!! I almost didn’t go upstate because it’s a pretty long drive for just a weekend. I’m so, so…
One of the best things I ever did for myself was signing up for a gym membership in 2016. It’s been quite the fitness journey and I’m a much better person because I work out. It also helped me re-write a lot of stories that I had in my head about myself. I found mental…
I actually can’t believe it’s time for another monthly book roundup. While I’m sharing what I read in September, I’d love it if you left a comment with some of your favorite book you’ve read this summer. I’m trying to up my ante with books now that we’re heading into chillier weather. I want a…
Loved that you guys had great feedback for this new series. One thing that will become pretty clear is that I love to rewear favorites over and over again… TUESDAY I started the day with a coffee meet up with my sister-in-law, and spent the rest of the day working from home. It was a…

One way I’m trying to get “in the mood” for fall (instead of dreading the impending cold….) is thinking about all the nice cozy recipes I can whip up. I think this is going to be a big season of baking for me! I hope all my local friend are ready for weekly deliveries because…
This was a post I wrote early in July. asking you guys a bunch of questions and you delivered. Mike and I were still toying with different wedding ideas, but leaning heavily towards a short engagement and wedding in September, but wouldn’t finalize it until that weekend. Now that we’re a few weeks out from…
It has been chilly here. I don’t know if it’s the pandemic time warp or what but I don’t remember it getting this cold, this early?! We had a few days in a row where it was in the 30s (albeit high) every morning and I was *this close* to turning the heat on. (Our heat is…
This week had a ton of heavy news to process. Honestly, I personally read plenty (that is, too much) news throughout the day and I go to blogs as a little mental break. I’ve always struggled with keeping my blog a blog, but this year in particular has been extra hard. Is my silence violence?…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
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.usa
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
