On the last day of 2020, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite things from the year: APL shoes – these were a big postpartum splurge and I was hesitant because I didn’t know if they would be worth it. So worth it! I have worn these SO much in 2020 – for errands, walks, workouts. Love them! The beach! I’m so glad the beach was a safe activity this year (well, maybe not those crowded beach…
Hi y’all, How’s it going out there? Emerson skipped her nap today, so I took her out in the stroller to try to get her to fall asleep. Stroller naps are now the only time I can browse in stores anymore. Em pretty much hates shopping, and I always feel guilty making her go with me unless it’s essentials from the grocery store or Target. I got to thinking how I do almost all of my shopping online these days.…
I feel like my hair has gotten so dark since giving birth, and highlights no longer last more than 6 weeks. Did this happen to anyone else? Maybe I’m just old and it has nothing to do with pregnancy. Now that Emerson eats three meals a day plus snacks, I feel like we’re always out of food. I can’t imagine what it’d be like with a 16-year-old boy. I need to get back into preparing energy balls and snacks. Does…
Hershel backpack – I received this at my family’s secret Santa exchange over Christmas, and have liked using it in place of my usual diaper bag. Facebook moms group – there’s a fabulous group here in Brooklyn and it has been SOO helpful for getting info. Bon Iver – the best mellow background music for winter, cooking, wine-drinking and such. Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara – I got this as a free sample at Sephora and like that it makes…
I had a blast last weekend celebrating my friend Liz’s 30th! It’s such a fun year of big birthday parties. A bunch of friends flew in for the occasion, and after a mimosa brunch on Saturday, we got blow-outs in preparation for the event. The theme was 90’s, and this is what my stylist came up with. Apparently, it was inspired by Married With Children, which I’ve actually never seen. Afterwards, we ended up going next door to grab drinks…
“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Reebok. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.” I’ve seen quite a few bloggers review the Reebok Skyscape, so I was really excited to get the opportunity to try out a pair! I received a Kohl’s giftcard so that I could order them online. Kohl’s only had pink and black left in my size, so I…
An apple crisp just came out of the oven!!! I’m thinking about skipping the Christmas tree this year:( Matt’s always at school and I just don’t feel the need to put one up for myself when we are spending Christmas at my parents house. Is that Grinch-like and too un-festive? What about you? The senior [business school] prom is this weekend! We’re hosting a pre-party and I couldn’t resist buying this giant bottle of wine from TJ’s. I’m obsessed with…
After sittin around in Atlanta and not being able to get anything done around the house, I’ve been a machine this week. I completely reorganized my kitchen cabinets, scrubbed the bathtub on my hands and knees, and got rid of some old clothes while improving some of the cheap hangers in my closet. And I put every CD I’ve ever owned into iTunes. This.took.forever. But it was a fun project because I got to listen to some classics. I’ve also…
Another long day of babysitting, though this time I’m not pooped. The little guy def. pooped though – a ton and then bounced around in the exer-saucer. TMI? Not pretty. I’m headed back to the airport tomorrow. Living in Atlanta is starting to get pretty weird because I never see Matt and then I travel on the weekends. I’m so confused about where home is. I’ve also had some issues with a large spider in the shower (three encounters –…
