Hope everyone has been having a lot of fun celebrating the Fourth the July! I always feel like the summer starts to speed by once we hit July, but I hope that isn’t the case this year!!!
PS Here’s an old post on how to write with sparklers if you have a fun barbecue planned today.
I’m at the beach with my friends for the Fourth, and we’re planning on doing a little cooking at the house we’re renting. I think I may need to run to the grocery store again to pick up a few items to make these recipes Louisa sent over– especially the s’mores Rice Krispy treats. 7 Recipes…
I can’t believe that we’re officially in the second half of the year. When I think back to where I was on January 1… it wasn’t pretty. Carter came to my parents’ house to shoot some stock photos for my blog, and the minute I got into her car, I broke down in tears. I was crying…
I am SO excited for this upcoming trip to Nantucket. This is my last little burst of traveling for the foreseeable future. I’ll be there this weekend through Wednesday for the Fourth of July. Then I come back to Connecticut to collect the pups and pick Carter up from the airport and head back to Nantucket a…
Oatmeal is one of my go-to meals (and snacks!) during the day. If you remember, a couple of months ago I shared what I eat in a week. I love a good bowl of oatmeal. I’ve always done the traditional oats and hot water kind of oatmeal, although I’ve heard great things about “overnight oats.” I see recipes…
I have not been able to get enough of Harry Styles’ new album. It’s more or less been on repeat for me. I’ve been doing SO much driving recently, and I alternate between talking to my mom on Bluetooth, listening to audiobooks, and jamming to Harry Styles. It could be a full-blown obsession, but the…
Well, months ago, I purchased this camisole from J. Crew. I felt like it was kind of expensive for a simple tank, but honestly? It’s worth every penny. (Oh, and it’s 25% off this week with code “SUMMER”!) It fits the bill for a going out top where I still feel comfortable and still (most importantly) feel like myself.
This is the first time in a while where I haven’t created a summer bucket list. I’ve been so swamped with traveling and June is already flying by– I just kind of forgot about it completely! I love Maxie’s idea of setting a list of things to not do this summer to make the most of this…
Tonight we achieved the impossible! @wishbonekitchen’s swamp soup received a “no notes” stamp of approval from Mike 🙌🏻 it’s filling, healing, and so fresh! Highly recommend!!! 💚🌿🪀♻️🦖
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
