Here’s what we have been up to according to my camera roll the past couple of weeks: We have been savoring the last bit of Mike’s parental leave as a family by squeezing in some fun summertime adventures. The four of headed to a putt putt place by us for an afternoon of “golfing.” I love…
We had one of the craziest weeks since moving here five years ago. A huge storm blew through and our town got a “direct hit.” (The National Weather Service was here to investigate and everything!) It definitely seemed like a bad storm and then for about sixty seconds it turned into a next level crazy storm. I’ve…
Jack loved his first year of preschool, and it truly made me so happy to see him thrive! He is super excited to wear his “pack pack” again and see his preschool buddies. I have been slowly starting our back to school shopping and wanted to share some of our essentials from our first year…
The back to school buzz is upon us! This is one of my favorite times of the year– the nostalgia is real, and now as a mom, so is the excitement. In case you’re still looking, I couldn’t help but round up some of the best backpacks for school. BEST BACKPACKS FOR SCHOOL LLBEAN //…
Another scorcher of a week here! We’re gearing up for Jack’s birthday, prepping for Mike to return to work after the best parental leave, savoring the last bit of summer, and also getting ready for preschool/daycare in September. Whew! A lot going on. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I took a tennis lesson last week with a…
I have been reaching for this silhouette over and over again. I now have the dress in a number of colors and prints and I have to tell you just how much I love it. Especially for these crazy hot summer days we’ve been having, I love throwing on a dress that is swingy and…
Don’t hate me, don’t hate me, don’t hate me. I’m here today to share some of the “pre-fall” finds that are hitting the market. I want so badly to hang onto every last ounce of summer, but wow do I fall victim to fall fashion. Why yes, I’m melting into a pool of sweat every…
This has been a hot week (as Jack likes to say, “toasty toasty toasty!”) but an overall great one. I am feeling kind of torn down the middle myself. On one hand, I’m starting to feel more like myself “postpartum.” Working out feels great, I am making time for friends again, signing up for new…
July was a whirlwind month with lots of fun travel between our Nantucket trip and spending time at Mike’s family’s lake house. Now that we’re back home, we’re trying to soak up the rest of summer before school starts and gearing up for Jack’s third birthday later this month! I’ve been doing a little shopping…
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. 🫶🏻
