I’m signing off for the next couple of weeks. If the mood strikes I’ll post on Instagram, but I’m really looking forward to taking some time off. I can’t believe we’re already at the end of 2022!! Thank you so much for being here. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your support. It…
Last “week of outfits” for the year! These posts are always the #1 post of the week and I love that you love them as much as I do. They’re such a helpful way to force me to “shop my own closet” and to, you know, not wear the same thing every day 🤣 LAST…
I cannot believe Christmas is next Sunday! If you still have some last minute shopping to do, don’t worry, I’ve been there! There are still plenty of items you can order that will arrive in time for the weekend. These are my favorite last minute gift ideas. If you’re stuck on what to get, I…
Here’s what we’ve been up to for the past two weeks according to my camera roll! Jack met Santa! Our pond club hosted Madison Santa– he is the best in the biz and I can’t be convinced otherwise! Jack was freaked out at first and then quickly warmed up the big guy!! By the end…
Okay. I felt crazy for putting up our Christmas tree before December started and now I’m so glad I did because… December is flying by?! I can’t be the only one experiencing whiplash over how quickly time is moving. Absolutely wild. Christmas is next Sunday? How did this happen! Such a crazy and fun Christmas display…
Christmas will be here before we know it! Of all the things, stocking stuffers are some of my favorites to give and so much fun to open. I know a bunch of families have different traditions when it comes to stockings. Growing up, we’d hang the stockings at night and then in the morning, my…
My chill mom philosophy started as a joke and then became a real strategy for how I handle the never-ending stresses of motherhood. “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a chill mom!” I must have said this 4,000 times while I was pregnant. The reality is that I couldn’t be farther from “chill.” Generally speaking,…
I genuinely cannot believe another week has passed. I feel like December is going by way too fast…. Christmas will be here before we know it! I’m going to be taking a two week break starting December 21st so really cramming things in between now and then so I can fully step back. What a…
This post is sponsored by Shutterfly. I’ve had so much fun partnering with Shutterfly this year. Shutterfly is a one stop shop for all things personalized and there has never been a better time to make a purchase! I rounded up some of my favorite items from Shutterfly. I have to admit that it was…
#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
