Filling My Cup Week of 6/21/2024
Lots of family time, beach bliss, and recent recommendations from my family!
Happy Friday!! We’ve been at the beach all week (except one glorious night I spent at home alone) and it has been so fun to have family time in the sun. There are few things I love more than watching my boys become “beach kids”. I’m going to do a roundup of my favorite children’s beach items on Monday’s Mom Musings so stay tuned for that (paid subscribers)! We’re going on week two without paid childcare (our nanny was on vacation last week and we’re taking advantage of the extra hands at the beach), so I can’t say I’ve been too great at filling my cup, but I’m trying! Here’s what I’ve been up to recently…
Conversations with Cam
Another note on the podcast, this week I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my top TV crushes - Josh from Younger aka Nico Tortorella. it was a full circle “OMG have I made it??” moment… For all my Younger obsessed girlies, I can’t wait for you to listen next week!!
Live Podcast Event Postponed - We are postponing the live show to the fall!! Due to some backend logistics, we are rescheduling the show in September/October (TBD). For anyone that bought tickets, thank you, your ticket will be refunded through Eventbrite! I’m so excited for the new date and will share details ASAP.
What I’m Reading
Actually, Having a Baby Changes You Forever - For all my fellow moms struggling with the transition to motherhood and constantly wondering “who am I???”, this is for you. I don’t enjoy this feeling but I love that we’re talking about it / sharing the experience.
What I’m Loving
Citizens Drawstring Pants - I was lent these from Shopbop for an upcoming LA trip and wore them this week and loved them. I showed up to the beach house in them and my mom and Lucy demanded to try them on and immediately ordered. They are big, so I’d order down a size.
Kith x Taylormade Tennis Dress - This collab went quickly (shoutout to Lucy’s boyfriend who had early access as a #kithhead) but they have some sizes left. This is my new favorite tennis dress. Truly starting to wonder if I actually enjoy the sport or if I’m just doing it for the outfits
What My Family is Loving
BOB Stroller - I shared on IG a few weeks ago that we wanted a double stroller to keep at the beach and after lots of discourse in my DMs, we went with the BOB double jogging stroller and we are absolutely loving it. Plus, we got it 20% off so I’ll take that as a huge win. I’m going to do a full video on why I love it and how we use it soon. For anyone considering a double stroller for long walks/runs, I’d pick this one!
Sunscreen Applicator - I made a reel about this, but this sunscreen applicator has changed the game! I hate sunscreen hands and my kids are never excited to put it on, so this is super helpful. You fill it up with your sunscreen of choice (we love this one) then it rolls on and has a sponge to rub it in. I bought this for my kids but have also been using it.
What Lucy is Loving
How I’m Filling my Cup
The Beach with My Boys - Few things compare to 4-6PM on the beach. I love it with my entire heart. The sun isn’t as strong, it’s a bit cooler, you’re fully relaxed, and most people left so it’s much quieter. If there were a 2 hour window to bottle up and drink from on tough days, it would 100% be this one. Naps are over, the sun isn’t as strong, and it's the perfect window for family fun before dinner.
Summer beach evenings are the best!!! ☀️
