A warm weather vacation sounds incredible right now! I am not a fan of winter in the slightest, and I’ll be brutally honest here and say the winter is already wearing me down. Since it’s only the middle of January, I’m starting to think that planning a warm weather getaway might be just what I…
It’s time for another “ten things” post. I stole this idea from my friend Kelly– but it’s basically just an old school blog post where I share the first ten things that come to mind… Ready, set, go! 1. SOUP SZN // I am in my soup season right now. I don’t know what it is…
We had a cozy week! After a mad rush in December with the holidays and trips and bopping around everywhere, I feel like we’re really settling into our routine with fun mixed in. It’s kind of hard to describe, but I feel like we’re just hitting a really good groove as a family. LAST WEEK’S WIN:…
As luck would have it, around mid-December I ran out of a lot of my beauty products. I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get every last drop of moisturizer and conditioner out and then moved onto to some travel-sized samples that I had. But once I was back from visiting my…
It’s been almost a month since my last diary post! Some fun things to catch up on: Before Christmas and once the kids were all home from preschool, school, and daycare we had everyone over to our house to decorate some cookies for Santa! It was such a fun afternoon. (This is the recipe we…
We had a nice family-oriented week with lots of activities, dinners together, and time outside! (One of Jack’s new words is “outside,” which he says over and over by the backdoor to go out and play…. no matter what the weather is, he is ready to get outside!) Here are some things on my radar…
I’m trying to spend as much time as possible outside. Honestly very hard for me in winter when I want to hibernate. Taking Jack on evening walks around the neighborhood has been a great way to clear my mind at the end of the day and get some steps in. Playing pickleball is another great…
Finishing up my 2022 recap posts with a list of favorites. Since I’m late already, instead of breaking this up into separate posts, I’m just combining everything into one! Kind of makes it more fun that way anyway. (And this is a good place to catch up on the blog if you’ve recently come from…
Hello, hello! It’s been a while since my last Week of Outfits post! LAST WEEK’S WIN: I finished my bookkeeping for 2023 in record time. I had a couple of major (😩) issues so I was trying to get it done early to resolve everything ASAP. It was not fun and it was a huge hassle getting…
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
