Did you pack too many things into the last few weeks? I sure did! We just wrapped up the end of the school-year activities. Zoe graduated from 5th grade (which means we are done with elementary school), and Cooper graduated from 8th grade. On top of that, we drove up to Wisconsin to visit my parents, and then I played camp counselor slas[...]
It's a chilly afternoon here in Chicago, and I have a ton of things on my to-do list. One of them is to clean up my digital files. Woof. I have over 90,000 images on my phone and 497 tabs open on my phone's browser. Of course, I'm procrastinating thanks to my ADHD. BTDubs, I'd have more browser tabs open, but the iPhone only allows 500 t[...]
I don't know about you, but it has already been a week, and it's only Tuesday. The kids are finally back in school, and summer is dunzo, although someone needs to tell Mother Nature because last week was hotter than the surface of the sun here in Chicago. I'm not quite ready for fall, but I am here for 73° temperatures. Let's get into a[...]
Happy Tuesday! In today's Beautiful Distractions, I'm sharing things that have recently arrived on my doorstep, interesting articles I've read, and objects on my wishlist. But, before we get into it if you're having one of those rollercoaster weeks, where everything seems to be going swimmingly, and then suddenly, it all goes to shit..."[...]
I don't know about you, but this week was kinda wacky. Anything that could go wrong did go wrong, and today, I'm ready to hide under the covers. Kids are sick. The Boy is traveling for work, it's threatening to snow again, and I'm over here treading water but, of course, finding time to peruse the interwebs for entertainment (and save my[...]
It's almost spring which means new spring decor is dropping, and let me tell you, there are some gems right now! Here's what caught my eye this week. The Jake Arnold Collection just dropped at Crate & Barrel, and it is lit! But then again, I would expect nothing less. from Jake. His style runs deep through every detail. The lighting[...]
Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. Have you finished shopping? I think I'm done, and honestly, I'm kinda ready for the holidays to be over and done with. Yup, I've been in a massive funk, kind of grinchy and creatively uninspired...not awesome or productive when you're a content creator and your job is to be creative and inspiring. So[...]
Last week I went to a Tiffany's blue and sparkles-themed birthday party. Since my entire wardrobe is black, white, tan, or navy with zero sparkles...take that back; there is one black sequin tank top. Goth sparkles? There was shopping to be had. Here's what caught my eye. This sequin skirt is now on sale - SHOP IT HERE or SHOP IT[...]
Boy oh boy, it has been entirely too long since I've written a Beautiful Distractions post. My apologies. Summer got the best of me, but that means we've been having fun over here, right? I have been scrolling the interwebs at night and saving fun things that have caught my eye, so here is a huge brain dump of what I'm loving now. Oh, bu[...]
