At the end of the day, my most important job is still being “mom” 🖤
.
Lately our plates have all been extremely full (including mine), and we’ve all had to adjust to a little bit of a new “norm” - which hasn’t been as smooth or as graceful as I would have liked.
.
But yesterday and today I’ve been “mama bear” to these little guys - and nothing else to anyone else ✨ and it’s felt soo good. A perfect way to get me back in “balance”
.
I’m not sure this feeling will last - but for today I’m feeling grateful for a gorgeous fall day and a sick little guy at home to bring me back to what’s most important. Being with the ones I 🖤.
.
Hoping you all find a little bit of your own balance and grace this week too ✨🖤

Finishing off a great fall Sunday. Filled with lots of yard work (which included me mowing our lawn for the first...and probably last time 😂), decorating our house for fall and lots of time in the kitchen!
.
Now we’re about to relax, catch up on the Bears game and dig into this cozy soup 🥣
.
Ribollita is one of my favorite fall and winter soups. Packed with tons of fresh veggies, herbs and beans and all topped with a handful of parmesan cheese, chunks of buttery, toasted bread and drizzled with olive oil. .
Easy, rustic and the perfect fall “sit on the couch and get cozy” kind of meal. .
Hope you’re all relaxing tonight and cuddling up with something warm and yummy too 💕

Happy Friday, my lovely friends. Another great week is in the books. I don’t know about you, but I am so excited about spending this weekend at HOME (cuddled on this couch) with some of my favorite people 🖤
.
I just hit publish on today’s Friday Favorites, with lots of good finds from the week - including a new pair of black boots I love (that are also 25% today, thank you @anthropologie 🙏), a great LBD from @target , and the @equilibriawomen CBD relief cream that saved me this week. Hope you can find something in there you love too 🖤

You know you’ve got a keeper when you surprise your hubby at work, and he drops everything to have lunch with you....and then does a great job pretending he’s not embarrassed when you ask him to take a million photos in front of his office 😂😂. .
Thanks for the lunch, being my number one photographer and all the laughs, @jprexing. 12 years together and you’re still my favorite lunch date 🖤 .

I know you’ve all heard me talk a lot on here about being mindful of how we take care of ourselves. Everything from the food we put IN our bodies - to the types of products we put ON our bodies. I wholeheartedly believe that It all matters, and it all adds up ✨
.
It’s been a long process for me - but over the years I’ve been slowly transforming my beauty and skincare routine into one I can feel GOOD about - inside and out. While I’ve shared with you many of my favorite “clean beauty” products - I am so thrilled to be adding one more to my list, @beautycounter.
.
Just this past month I tried @beautycounter for the very first time. I’ve always supported their mission to get safer beauty products into the hands of everyone - but this was my first time actually using their products.
.
Today on the blog I’m sharing why I wholeheartedly believe in the @beautycounter mission, what products I’ve tried so far, and my initial reactions to it all.
.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. What “clean beauty” products do you love?? Are any of you fellow @beautycounter lovers?!! Share in the comments what products I should try next! Would love to hear your thoughts....😘💕

Happy Friday, loves. Another great week is in the books and I don’t know about you, but I am on cloud nine from this week.
.
I haven’t always been the best at this - but I’m really trying to celebrate all of my little “wins” as I have them. And this week was filled with lots of little wins. So today I’m pausing for a moment and letting some of it soak in 🙏✨.
.
Today over on the blog I’m sharing more about what I’m grateful for this week - and of course sharing all of my Friday Favorites. Including this @anthropologie mirror that’s on SALE, a new documentary I’m obsessed with, my favorite new lip color and lots more.
.
What about YOU?!! What are you grateful for this week? Share one of your wins from this week - big or small. No matter how good or bad your week was - we can all find something to be grateful for. Today I’m grateful for all of YOU 🖤.

My best friend and her family are coming to visit us this weekend and I’m so excited. I love having guests in our home ❤️
.
But the one rule I have for myself when we have company is to not live in the kitchen. I try and make a few simple things in advance and then the rest we figure out as we go. I want to spend my time laughing on the couch with my best friend. Not over the sink doing dishes. .
So this week I made a few simple things to have ready for the weekend....including this smoky grilled pumpkin hummus. It’s sweet, spicy and 1 million percent addicting. I top it all off with grilled pumpkin seeds, pomegranate seeds, a little goat cheese and a big drizzle of olive oil.
.
Now all I need to do tomorrow is open a great bottle of wine, wait for our friends to arrive and pray my kids don’t drive me crazy 😅😅.
