We have been having the best time in Harbour Island this week as a family of three, and I think it’s put me in a summer state of mind. As much as I don’t want our vacation to end, I’m looking forward to all the fun things this summer has in store. In the peak…
This post is sponsored by Pipette & ShopStyle Collective. When Mike and I were dreaming about all the things Jack might inherit from us, it was a long list. Would he have sandy hair like Mike or dark hair like me? Would he take after his dad in the athletic department or be more of…
Going to do a shortened version of this post because we’re in the Bahamas and I will do a separate full version of all the looks I wore while on vacation. This past week was a bit of a mess, to be honest, I got rocked by allergies and then a sinus infection… Jack has…
A roundup of the best baby books was a highly requested post via Instagram. When I was pregnant, I absolutely loved being gifted baby books. They’re my favorite things to give to expecting moms and newborns, too. I always pictured us snuggling up on the glider with a stack of books and reading. I thought…
I’m trying very hard to get organized and ready for our beach vacation next week. There’s going to be a little bit of work, but I am looking forward to being in the sun with my little fam! (Lots of sunscreen, sun shirts, and sun hats will be packed.) I think I mentioned this, but…
This post is sponsored by Shutterfly and ShopStyle Collective The days are getting longer and the temperatures are on the rise. That can only mean one thing in the Riordan household… al fresco dining season is here. We moved into our house in June 2019 and one thing Mike and I immediately started doing was…
Linen is my go-to fabric during the summer months, and it also happens to be an essential part of the coastal grandmother wardrobe. Since it seems to be the trend of the summer, I wanted to share three ways to style a pair of white linen pants. Although I typically am not one for following…
I’m usually a broken record when it comes to my skincare. When I find products that work, I stick with them. I’m also pretty lazy, to be honest, when it comes to skincare. I love the idea of winding down at the end of the night with an elaborate routine and going to bed looking like…
Here’s another week of outfits. Kind of proud of myself that I didn’t wear leggings or a sweatshirt… woo! Sign of a good week! LAST WEEK’S WIN: We had such a nice weekend. Mike and I drove down to our friends’ house and we had a great time with them. I even used their babysitter…
#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

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
