We’ve had such a nice week here! Agreeable weather meant lots of time outside. (Mike has put in some good work in getting our backyard “ready” for the summer season– so I’m really looking forward to that.) Also, Rory is starting to “wake up” from the newborn stage and I’m at the very end of…
How is it May?! We had a great trip to Florida last month and got a little taste of summer that’s making me so excited for the official kickoff. April was also a great month for Amazon finds, and I have a feeling a handful of these products are going to make it on my favorites…
It’s (almost) that time of year! In a way, it feels like my own graduation was a lifetime ago. In another, it feels like it was just yesterday. I don’t get the same requests I used to for graduation gift ideas, but it seems like we all know a young adult moving on from high…
Another post with my outfits from the past week! LAST WEEK’S WIN: Our whole trip to Tampa last week was a win start to finish. We got lucky with two more super easy flights 🙏🏻 And then we just had so much fun while down there. Lots of fun in the sun! It was absolutely exhausting,…
Rechargeable LED lamps have been taking over the internet and I finally jumped on the bandwagon and I’m so glad I did! These little lamps are fun. I originally purchased a couple for my office space and I ended up loving them so much that I bought another set for my house. Right now I have them…
I’m writing this from my parents’ kitchen island. Mike is playing in a golf tournament with my dad and my mom and I have been hanging out with the boys during the day. It’s been a lot of fun and very exhausting. (Excitement for Grandma Meesh and Grandpa Philly’s house is at an all-time high!!)…
Shoes are usually one of the first things I switch out in my closet when the seasons change. I got an unintentional head start this year when none of my shoes fit after giving birth to Rory in February, so I took it as an opportunity for a little refresh my spring shoes for women!…
I can’t believe my first Mother’s Day with both of my boys is just 2.5 weeks away!! Now’s a good time to shop so you can get your gift picked out, shipped, and wrapped without any rush. It’s also crucial to shop early if you want to get something monogrammed– those shipping cutoffs are much…
Back today with another week of outfits! I feel like I’m finally getting into the groove with outfits as the weather warms up and I slowly adjust to postpartum dressing. It’s a journey, but I have really been making strides in giving myself grace. (And trying to find the fun in picking up new pieces…
Christmas came early this year 🎁✨ My mom completely surprised me with her original copy of Entertaining by @marthastewart48 —her very first book! This was on my totally delusional wish list, and I can’t believe she not only still had it but actually gave it to me 🥹. Growing up, my mom was the ultimate “Martha Stewart mom,” making every holiday, party, and little moment feel so magical for my sister and me. Receiving this feels like such a special passing of the torch, and I hope I can carry on even a fraction of the thoughtfulness and creativity she poured into everything for my own children. Feeling so inspired (and emotional!) about this gift. 💕 Can’t wait to sit down and read this! #ChristmasSurprise #EntertainingByMartha #FamilyTraditions @marthastewart

#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

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
