Last night rumors around the dorms were circulating about school cancellations. I was honestly hoping that we still had class because I really wanted to get my ethics midterm out of the way. I can’t have it hanging over my head anymore! My roommate and I woke up to our Blackberry’s buzzing about classes being…
So today is my half birthday, which normally I don’t think is a big deal… except when I realized that it was literally my last 6 months as a teenager. I will have been alive for two decades… TWO DECADES??? WHAT?!? This is crazy! Twenty just seems so old! Plus, I was technically born in…
So this is going to just be a quick little post! Practice this morning was AMAZING! I was feeling a little uneasy about crew and the time commitment, but I have re-fallen in love with it 🙂 I think I was just sick of boring erg practices. I thought it might be a smidge rainy, but…
I can’t wait for the weekend! Well, sort of. I’m going to be doing a LOT of studying, so I’m not looking forward to that part. But I am looking forward to having a teeny tiny break from crew practice and no classes. I have this weird issue about scheduling. I like to be on…
… for a moment that I was going to NYC for the Martha Stewart show. How adorable is this collection of luggage! I always dress nicely when traveling on planes. I wish I lived in the era when traveling was a big deal and women would wear cute little outfits. I’ve never worn regular clothes on…
Due to my team’s practices during spring break, I won’t be able to attend the Martha- Lilly show after all. I am so disappointed. 🙁
I am seriously freaking out right now!!! My roommate thinks I’m officially psychotic. I was studying and I got an email on my Blackberry saying I got tickets to the Martha show!!! I’m not sure if they did another round of tickets after the initial batch or not though. After I didn’t receive an email about…
Part 2 This is the promised second part to my Lilly Pulitzer Table Runner post. This summer I discovered etsy.com. I would spend hours perusing the site for adorable items. I found these really cute “Happy Birthday” pennants, and thought this would be great for my dorm. Of course, they would just HAVE to be…
This is going to be a Two Part post… Part 1 As if it wasn’t obvious enough: I LOVE Lilly! Graduation parties are a pretty big deal at my high school. I really didn’t want to have a solo one because I think it’s a little ostentatious. Soccer Mom insisted that I have one at…
… 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
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. 🫶🏻
