    Excerpt

    Taylor really knew what she was talking about when she said August slipped away like a bottle of wine, because, excuse me how is it almost September?! This summer has felt equal parts fleeting and sweet. Each week in August I had the best intentions to send out a newsletter but something always thwarted those plans. Lunches with friends, PT, window estimates, multiple trips to the e-vet all while juggling a newborn was no joke. That on top of navigating the various oddities that come with postpa

    July Fixations: 2 minute makeup, Dolly, stars, and a scalp care routine (opens the original)

    The summer is going by in a blink of an eye. Or maybe that’s what happens when you have a newborn at home? One day she’s a teeny-tiny little peanut and the next she’s busting out of the onesie we brought her home in. July was a perfectly-imperfect slice of summer. Hot, sweaty, sweet, and somehow both slow and fast.I’m slowly but surely getting the hang of this whole parenting thing—although I say that and I’m sure my daughter will throw a big ole wrench into our ‘routine’. I’m learning that is a

    What a week it’s been friends. A heatwave, horrible air quality, and a newborn. The trifecta! I am sooo stir crazy. As summers biggest fan this has been painful. All I want to do is sit on my deck while writing this newsletter. Or go on a little hot girl (literally temp wise) walk with baby girl! But, alas, I’ve had to resort to sitting at my work desk (cringe) with baby girl strapped to me. That said, it’s been a rather amazing week and I’m starting to feel like myself again!

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Good morning all! I hope you had a better—cough, cough more well rested—weekend than I did. Remember last week when I said my daughter was in that adorable potato phase? Well, someones teeny tiny ears were burning. We have now entered the gassy-fussy, nothing will soothe me but being held phase. I thought my writing sessions were all but dashed last week and it was bumming me out (or that could’ve been the sleep deprivation). But, thank god for the Solly Wrap and my wonderful husband because I’v

    June Fixations: a big ole catch-up, our baby girl, Off Campus, Anthro Finds, and soo much more (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Well, hello there! Long time no newsletter 🙃 friends. How’re we doing??? I know I left you high-and-dry there for a while which was a hundred percent not my intention. Life—read work—got in the way of my Mostly Sunny pub schedule. That combined with entering my third trimester and feeling extremely overwhelmed, something just had to give. Unfortunately that meant this newsletter and in all fairness you wouldn’t have wanted to read my end-of-workday pregnancy slop brain either. Trust me.But, I am
