Remember how I said the week had gone off without any hiccups?! I jinxed ourselves. We got hit hard by norovirus. Thankfully it was fast and furious so it was over rather quickly but whew. It was awful. Stay safe out there people. (Apparently it’s the worst it’s been in over a decade! Hoping this week…
I LOVE this outfit. I really haven’t had many excuses to get dressed up since 2020…. I know other people have been back in the office and back to doing fun things, I’ve just felt like I’m on this pandemic, pregnant, postpartum, mom-of-a-toddler hamster wheel for three years. I think I forgot what it is…
I haven’t been skiing since Mike and I went up to Stowe, VT for a ski trip with his family right before the pandemic and I really miss it! I’m hoping once Jack gets a little older we can plan another trip to the mountains and ski as a family. One of my favorite things…
I don’t have a ton to say about this week! It was pretty much business as usual, with no hiccups, which honestly feels like a pretty big win right off the bat. Lots of quality time with Jack, the weather was warm enough to spend a good amount of time outside without freezing, and just…
This post is going to be for a very niche audience. Apologies if you don’t fit into this category, I acknowledge it’s a small group. That group is moms with sons who still want to match with their kids every now and then 😉 Now that Jack is getting bigger, we have established a bit…
Tuckernuck recently sent me this striped shirt and I needed to do a full review of it and style it a few realistic ways. I’ve been getting some, um, messages (to put it kindly, haha) about how everything I wear is uninspiring. And here’s the thing, I’m the very first person to admit I’m boring and…
Happy Tuesday and welcome back to another week of outfits. I really liked my outfits this week… Some old favorites and some new things as well. I’m really, really trying to look at my closet with some fresh eyes. LAST WEEK’S WIN: Jack and I had a great little mama/son day this weekend. You never…
Some fun news! Mike and I are heading to Copenhagen for a (very) quick trip at the end of the month. He has a work conference in London, so we’re going to head over a little bit early together. We’re going just the two of us and we are both so ready for it. We…
Sharing some happy highlights from the past couple of weeks. These two! Jack and the dogs are really starting to bond. We don’t force it, but it’s starting to naturally happen and I’m here for it. Jack will throw them tennis balls and they’ll happily sit on the couch together. This is what adult friendship…
#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
