Here’s what I bought on Amazon last month. A few things for Jack, a few things for me, and a couple things for our home. What I Bought on Amazon in April Boys’ Pull-on Khaki Pants // Pull-on pants are my go-to for dressing Jack! The elastic waistband and cotton weave fabric on these cute khaki…
Here’s what we’ve been up to according to my camera roll from the last two weeks! A new bookstore opened up in the center of our town! It’s nature and season themed and I just love the concept… and the actual shop looks so nice and inviting! I haven’t popped in yet, but I’m hoping…
Our friends are hosting a little get together tonight for Cinco de Mayo. I’m excited to kick off the weekend with friends and, hallelujah, it looks like we’re going to have beautiful spring weather to enjoy. Woo! Here’s what has been on my radar this week: ONE // Eco-Adventure Passport Micro Kickboard hooked Jack up…
Graduation season is here, so I’m rounding up a few fun and practical graduation gifts for the grad in your life. My biggest tip to graduates and parents is to opt for the practical. It may not be as much fun, but it will help set you up for success in the future. When I…
Here’s what I read last month. Honestly one of my better reading months and I hope you find a title or two you want to add to your TBR pile. ADELAIDE by Genevieve Wheeler 4.5/5 Stars This was an excellent book that felt very “real.” I can actually see people finding the characters, namely the partner…
This week was filled with fun things! Mike was out of town this past weekend so Jack and I held the fort down… and naturally we had the worst weather. It rained so hard for so long… we were feeling cooped out but still tried to get outside. (I was going stir crazy.) LAST WEEK’S…
With wedding season in full swing, I’ve started receiving more requests for wedding guest dresses to wear this spring and summer. Finding the right dress to wear as a wedding guest can be a challenge. Wedding invitations often have hard to interpret dress codes, and finding an event dress on a budget can be time…
We’re a few weeks away from Mother’s Day, and I’m already starting the hunt. Although Mother’s Day is not about gifts, it’s hard to resist when you find something that feels like her! There are so many fun things to shower mom with love. And whether you’re spending the day with your mom or celebrating…
Happy Saturday! It’s another month which means another round of new arrivals from J. Crew. A little bit of spring…. but also the first taste of summer. I can’t lie, this has me excited. I always love J. Crew’s navys and blues (of course), but I’ve been particularly vibing with the greens, pinks, and (!!!!) the…
#ZarbeesPartner @zarbees is helping us get the best night of sleep possible! Our sleep routines got shaken up after Daylight Savings Time ended, so we are doing what we can to get back on track and get back into good sleep hygiene routines. I’m keeping Zarbees Children’s Sleep Gummies with Melatonin on hand and we added Zarbees Calming Bedtime Spray into our nightly routine– with calming natural lavender and chamomile to set the mood for a restful night of sleep. Plus, with no artificial fragrances, parabens, or petroleum I can rest easy, too. Buy now on Amazon! #FromOurHivetoYours
✨ 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.usa
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
