I realized that I haven't actually ever covered a lot of our kitchen details on the blog so better late than never, right? Today's breakdown is simple: I'm linking our decor and dishes that we use most often. Let me know if there's any other area of the house y'all want to see a breakdown for and I'll work on curating those links. ...
I posted a question box about 'work/life balance' a couple of weeks ago on IGS and it got such a huge response that I knew I needed to compile things into a blog post. First up, it seems like most people agree that it's nearly impossible, and also that there's just never going to be a perfect balance - which is fine. I've noticed more this year than ever before, with two boys, a full-time job, family stuff, working on some big projects, and just life, that my balance was suffering, and so was my mental health because of it. ...
I feel like a broken record when it comes to Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home content but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to shopping the NSale. I always always stock up on candles. That is my #1 recommendation to anyone trying to navigate the sale. ...
This is my third year to shop the baby/kids section of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and if you are in the market for a car seat or want to pick up some shoes for your baby, this is a great time to shop. This year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Baby section has some really good stuff. ...
Austin made these burgers the other night and we could not get enough. Think In-N-Out style, but bigger and better. This is the ultimate burger recipe. Truly a must for your next summer cookout. This is a smashburger style so you'll have a thinner patty, lots of toppings and tons of flavor. Here's the exact recipe he followed: ...
Most of the recurring messages in my DMs lately have been about postpartum, so I know a lot of mama's are going through it too, or are about to be. From what SPANX I'm loving to my postpartum beauty faves (aka things that are quick and efficient) to what I'm wearing, I'm happy to share what's been working for me. ...
I'm glad y'all enjoyed the Baby Essentials I shared this week, and as promised, today I'm going to cover what we keep in our rolling baby cart. We tend to keep this in our living room or bedroom depending on the time of day, and it's been such a life-saver during the newborn stage. ...
One of the most requested posts as of late has been my baby essentials or to link certain things I'm sharing for Charlie. I know it's taken me some time to get around to it, but I wanted to make sure I could recommend and use some of these items on Charlie before publishing this. Between George and Charlie, there have been certain things that I didn't end up loving, but what you see below are things I can confidently recommend as my baby essentials. I hope it's helpful, and let me know if I left anything out. I'll share what we keep in the rolling cart soon, as I know that's another popular topic in my DMs. ...
After sharing a thoughtful care package idea for new moms last week, I had some of you ask for more ideas, which I loved putting together. I've been on both sides - being the friend who wants to give a new mama a gift, and always being a new mom going through the tough newborn stage, so I think I have a good sense of what's helpful. Obviously every woman is different but I don't think you can go wrong with something cozy, something relaxing, something monogrammed, or something lux that you know she'll love. ...
It's taken me a few weeks to get this post together, but I definitely wanted to share what I'm actually living in postpartum this time around. Since Charlie's case was different from George's and I needed to go back to the hospital (sometimes multiple times a day) to be with him, drop off milk, etc., I ended up having to actually get dressed a lot more often than I did with George. And don't get me wrong, it wasn't cute, but postpartum is raw and real and I am totally OK with that! Not to mention I was still recovering from my C-section so truly, I had to be careful with what I was wearing so that I was decently comfortable. ...
