A bit of a stream of consciousness post again! Here are the first ten things that came to mind… KINDLE // I think I may have talked about Kindle before. I used to have a Nook (do they even make those anymore?!) and absolutely loved it. Then I went back to reading “real” books. And…
This week was SUCH a good week for our little family. We had a great taste of summer with beautiful weather and lots of time outdoors with friends! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We got together with a bunch of our neighbors last weekend. When Mike and I moved to our street, we were the youngest couple…
A month ago I splurged on the Hatch Restore. It’s an alarm clock, reading light, sound machine, etc. It’s supposed to increase your quality of sleep, which I’ve been working on for a while. This had been on my personal wishlist for a bit and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. Finally went…
I typically share these top sellers on Instagram, but thought I could start rounding them up on my blog too. Typically these end up being questions I get a lot, too, so hopefully you find this helpful! BEST SLIP UNDER $20 // STRAW MESSENGER BAG // BLUE FLORAL DRESS // STRIPED SHIRT // BASKET FLARE…
One of my goals this month is to squeeze in more date nights! Now that Jack is getting a little older, Mike and I have been focusing on carving out more time to spend just the two of us outside of the house. Usually, we’ll get a sitter or Mike’s sister to come over after…
After traveling so much and feeling out of a routine, this week was a welcome change. I decided to get in the car with Jack extra early on Monday. It sounds lame, but I was just ready to get home and get started on our laundry 🤣 The pond club we belong to had their…
This post is sponsored by Bed Bath & Beyond and ShopStyle Collective. You know you’re an adult when upgrading kitchen appliances gives you the biggest thrill! Personally, I find going into a Bed Bath & Beyond store akin to a kid being let loose in a toy store. (Except better because I have my own disposable…
I apparently got through a ton of books this month. Between vacation and reading books on my phone in the middle of the night while nursing, I’ve found myself in a really good reading groove. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about reading. COME AS YOU ARE by Emily Nagoski…
I did kind of a terrible job with outfits and documenting everything. Last week was pretty devastating and I’m still trying to get back into an okay headspace. Spending time with family this weekend helped a lot. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Have a successful weekend. Honestly, we’ve traveled so much with Jack at this point that…
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
