I’ve mentioned before that my body looks (and, frankly, feels) different than it did prior to pregnancy. Though there was a time when I wondered if my feet would go back to their normal size postpartum, I’m happy to report they have! Part of switching over my wardrobe for fall means switching out my shoes,…
LAST WEEK’S WIN: It was mostly a “business as usual” week at home, but we managed to carve out a little bit of fun here and there, too. Elsa and Laura came over to my office for a mini stitch club one morning and another friend hosted an end of summer party at their house on…
I’m constantly reevaluating my style– especially in my mid 30s. A lot has changed in my life in the last five years and my style reflects that, for sure. I moved to the suburbs. survived a pandemic, got married, was pregnant multiple times, had two children. Even without external forces of evolving fashion, my personal…
Today is a post that’s highly requested every year– fall family photo ideas. This is definitely a great time to get family portraits taken. I find fall foliage so pretty, there’s usually great lighting to work with in the autumn months, and (the best part) you’ll have updated photos just in time to select your…
Happy Friday! We had a nice, normal week at home and we have a nice, normal weekend coming up! I am reminded by just how much I thrive with a routine and I’m happy we’re here. Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // A Short Story by Elin Hilderbrand What a…
Barn jackets are making a big statement this fall, and I’m so here for it! I’ve always loved the cozy, classic charm of barn jackets, especially the Barbour ones I’ve had over the years. The traditional boxy silhouette and corduroy collar give these jackets a practical yet stylish look that’s hard to beat. This jacket has…
I love cardigans. They’re so versatile, and nowadays I usually wear them buttoned all the way up or draped over my shoulders. I definitely have my favorites, like this one and this one, that I pull out once the weather cools down. For this roundup of the best cardigans for fall, though, I wanted to…
I had a fun week of getting dressed. I’m really trying because it definitely because I absolutely feel better when I dress better. It helps that it isn’t 1,000 degrees and to have some places to go and people to see without a baby in tow. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I finished Rory’s stocking!!! This is a huge,…
Whoops! SO delayed in posting this. I held off on posting what I read in July because it was such a bad reading month. (Usually vacation is a great time to read… with an infant and toddler? Not so much!) Here’s what I read in July & August: JUST LAST NIGHT by Mhairi McFarlane 3.5/5 Stars I…
… 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. 🫶🏻
