How is it November already! The year is flying by, but the start of a new month means another roundup of what I bought on Amazon last month. Wooden Tabletop Paper Roll // This has been a great addition to our playroom and can keep Jack entertained for hours coloring. The dispenser makes it easy to…
Okay, I know Halloween was only yesterday, but the cutest Christmas pajamas end to sell out early, especially at places like Old Navy and Target. Growing up, my sister and I always wore matching family Christmas pajamas and it was such a fun holiday tradition for us. I already have a lot of holiday-themed pajamas…
Happy Halloween! We’ve been reminding Jack that it’s almost time to go trick or treating and he replies, “YAY!” I can’t wait to see him in his costume bopping around with friends. Really feeling like my “mom cup” is overflowing. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Our backyard pre-parade Halloween party was a huge success. Maybe it’ll be…
Our town has so many wonderful events throughout the year. One of my favorites is the Halloween costume parade. It is quintessentially perfect. The children all gather in front of town hall and then a firetruck leads the way of the costume parade with all the kids following! It’s really just one loop around the…
Alice Walk has some of my very favorite styles. I was first introduced to the brand through their knitwear and I haven’t looked back since! I fell in love with their sweaters and was blown away by the quality. Then I tried a couple of their t-shirts and sweatshirts and, yet again, loved the quality. Everything…
Oso & Me is a brand I’ve loved for Jack since (literally!) he was born. They just generously sent a huge package for Jack and the new baby. They also gave me a discount code for everyone, which I wanted to share. It’s way harder than it should be to find high quality play clothes…
This week was not without its hiccups, but overall it was a great week. Nothing better than good weather, a happy toddler, and a lot of fun fall activities to look forward to. We are hosting a little Halloween party on Saturday before our town’s costume parade and these are just the moments I absolutely…
I can’t believe it’s almost November–where has this year gone?! The Holiday season is just around the corner, and I’m excited to have additional time with family! If you’re a planner like me, you may have already started thinking through your Thanksgiving entertaining. For those hosting family or friends this year and looking to spruce…
The temperatures are dropping more and more, and our family has been spending a lot of time cozied up under blankets. Especially me, who can’t seem to rest enough these days! I consider myself a bit of a blanket connoisseur, and since I’ve been spending so much of my life snuggled under them recently, I…
✨ leave a comment with “SKIN” and I’ll send you all the products mentioned here ✨
I turned 35 in September and while I’ve always tried to take good care of my skin I wanted to really prioritize skincare from the inside out. At this point, I’m not doing any kind of injectables (not that I’m against them broadly speaking btw... just sharing that I haven’t done anything) and I don’t want to do anything invasive. I have made some small adjustments to my everyday life though that has made a difference. In just a few months, I really think my skin has never looked better (and I include infancy here because I unfortunately had baby acne ) and I’m really feeling good:
– Fresh washcloths after cleansing skin (@weezietowels “makeup” washcloths are cute, super soft, and very practical)
– @omniluxled Omnilux Contour Face (this red light therapy mask has CHANGED the game for my skin. I use it 3-4x a week and it only takes 10 minutes per session!)
– @jolieskinco filtered showerhead (I’ve noticed a difference in both my skin AND hair)
– @ritual HyaCera (one capsule every night– it works from the inside out to help reduce the appearance of fine lines)
While I think my skin looks great on its own right now (🙌🏻 love to say that!), it also is serving as the best base for makeup. Sharing my current everyday routine:
– @supergoop Mineral Unseen Sunscreen
– @summerfridays Sheer Skin Tint (shade 1)
– @merit Bronze Balm Sheer Sculpting Bronzer (shade clay)
– @saiebeauty Dew Blush Liquid Cream (shade chilly)
– @jonesroadbeauty Shimmer Face Oil (shade cool rose)
– @sephora collection Eyebrow Gel (shade ebony)
– @honest Extreme Length Mascara
– @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide On Eyeliner (shade demolition)
– @iliabeauty Balmy Lip Tint (shade lullaby)
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 🤪
