I am really proud of my reading this month because I did something I have been putting off for years. I finally read A Little Life! (My review below…) But I had been putting it off for really one reason, which I’m not proud to admit but here it goes anyway. I didn’t want to commit…
I’ve never been more ready to say goodbye to a month than I am right now. Happy for a clean slate starting tomorrow and a short month, at that. Trying to line up a few fun things to make it even more enjoyable. LAST WEEK’S WIN: I have a tie for last week. 1) The…
I deliberately didn’t title this post with self-care, solely because it’s been an overused phrase. In fact, I think it’s so overused that it’s almost lost its meaning. Self-care can involve putting on a face mask or using a body scrub in a tub, but it’s not the face mask and it’s not the body scrub. It’s the…
Last year, when Jack was a whopping six months old, “he” sent out valentines to a few friends. These were his cousins and the kids of our friends. I bought little valentines from Minted and vintage sticker sheets from Etsy and mailed them all around the country! Maybe a little over the top, but it…
This has been an incredibly hard week. I know I’m vague-blogging and I hope you can forgive me. I just don’t have a ton of brain power at the moment. I really try not to wish away time, but I found myself just counting down the days until this week was over. Woof. Anyway, feeling…
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re in need of cute Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her, I put together a fun little round-up of all things pink and girly. Although Mike and I don’t do gifts, I actually prefer the idea of getting gifts for yourself and/or your girlfriends. I’m obsessed…
It has been brought to my attention that I missed doing my 2022 favorites! I did include my top products in this post a couple of weeks ago, but this is one of my favorite posts to reflect on year after year. (I know I’m very late and I know we’re well past year end recaps,…
Clearly I was not very…. inventive with my outfits this week. But keeping it real 😉 In my defense, it’s been grey and gloomy. Like gloomy gloomy. Some rain, some wet snow. We hunkered down this past weekend at home too for some extra family time. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Jack got to have a sleepover…
It was a bit of a…. week over here. Just a lot of moving parts as our bathroom renovation continues. You kind of think it won’t be too much of a disruption, but with a toddler and a small house, it’s been dictating our lives! Of course, it will all be worth it though!! Can’t…
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_us!
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
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
