I’m going to be a little vulnerable here for a second. I’ve read the books, heard the stories, watched the movies about the mom who loses herself after becoming a mom. Even still, I think it happened to me without really realizing it. Part of it was survival mode, like maybe I did know it…
I had to make a dedicated post to Lake Pajamas’ holiday collection. Red stripes, green stripes, and fabulous illustrations by Inslee Farris (nutcracker & ornaments)!! It’s so hard to pick favorites!! LAKE PAJAMAS HOLIDAY COLLECTION! SHOP THE POST Turn on your JavaScript to view content
This was a FULL week. Full in every sense. Lots of family time. Work projects. House updates. Trips to the city. I never feel like I’m “doing it all,” but this week got pretty close. Or at least as close as I can possibly get. It really did take almost fourteen months since Jack was…
I’ve been a fan of the utility trend lately, and as much as I want to get behind a jumpsuit, it just isn’t me. That said, one take on the trend I can easily get behind is a utility dress, and this one felt like the perfect match. It is great for styling with layers during…
This post is in partnership with American Girl– an absolute dream for me! It’s no secret how influential American Girl was for me as a young girl. I credit American Girl, and especially the historical character series, for my love of reading and, honestly, sense of self. As I’ve gotten older, I have reflected heavily…
Full steam ahead into fall clothing over here. We are having real fall weather… the leaves are even starting to change around here and after spending a couple of days up in Maine, I’m ready for my cozy season. (You know, it still feels pretty new right now, I’ll be sick of it in a few…
I’m so sorry to say I think this round up is going to be a disappointment. Not every month can be a rockstar month of reading. I put a lot of pressure on myself to read a lot. In part because I enjoy it, but also because I share what I read with you guys….
Happy October! It kind of feels like September was over in a blink of an eye, so excited to share some of the snaps from my camera roll from the last two weeks: We are going out for a walk almost every afternoon before dinner as a family. It’s been such a nice way to…
I’m writing this quickly from Maine. I’ve been here with ChappyWrap for the past couple of days and I can’t even begin to describe how rejuvenating it’s been. I’ve loved meeting new people and collaborating with talented friends. Sometimes I’m so in the groove of working by myself that I forget how nice it is…
#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
