This week has been a complete whirlwind between the holiday and all of Lucy’s engagement activities! I am so excited to be surrounded by family at the beach and watch my babies thrive in their (and my) favorite environment. I just finished talking to my therapist about my monthly goals - to slow down and focus on family, friends, and fun. It’s hard to juggle a lot of exciting work projects while prioritizing relaxing but I’m about to head into a weekend full of unwinding… and kick start my ‘fun’ goal 🙂
Conversations with Cam
What I’m listening to
Whitney Port - High school me is still *screaming* that I am not only a guest on Whitney Port’s podcast, but also a new friend of hers! The universe works in wild ways. I love guesting on podcasts and we had a blast talking about pregnancy, motherhood, mental health, and more.
Julia Gets Wise with Jane Fonda - My sister recently told me to listen to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ podcast, Julia Gets Wise, and said that it is a feel good, conversational show that she thought I’d love… and she was right! I was in need of a new podcast and am glad I was introduced to this one. I started with this episode because I love Jane Fonda so much.
What I’m Watching
Nothing new… because I’m still addicted to Summer House!!! I’m almost done with season 6 and close to catching up to the current times! I saw that they start filming season 9 this weekend and shook to my core that Lindsay and Carl will be in the same house. Never thought I’d say this but I’m officially a #Bravogirlie
What I’m Loving
Sezane - I’ve gotten Joe a few items from Sezane and we are loving this collared long sleeve. He wore it to Lucy and Tyler’s engagement party and it looks casual but so handsome on him.
Graphic tee - I was given this shirt during my LA trip and have already worn it 4 times. I love the fit and the simplicity - it's a graphic tee but not in your face, cutesy and kind of girlie IMO.
High Confectionary Glassware - I’m loving these handmade glass bowls that the high confectionary is selling! Such an adorable little accoutrement! Plus, if you’re throwing a dinner party (and the kids are asleep!!!), it’s a great place to put some High Confectionary gummies in.
What Lucy is Loving
What Lucy is Not Loving
Engagement Party Dresses From Me - Kidding but she, sadly, did not wear any of the engagement party dresses I got her, however, that doesn’t mean she didn’t love them and they wouldn’t be a great fit for you!
What My Family is Loving
Pool Days - We were home last weekend so we had a family pool day and had so much freaking fun. I know pools can be stressful and anxiety inducing with kids, but I always try to make the best of it. At the end of the day it should be FUN (cue: “summer should be FUN” bravo quote). To help make things easier for you, here is what we pack in our pool bag.
Pool Towels - On that note, we got these beach towels because our toddler needs a dry towel for camp everyday, and we are in love with them. His teacher pulled me aside and commented on how soft they were and said she wanted to also buy them for her entire family. SO plush/cozy.
Toddler Charcuterie Lunches - I recently packed a charcuterie lunch for my toddler and immediately wondered why I’m not doing this for myself.
How I’m Filling my Cup
Celebrating My Family!! There is nothing I love more than seeing people I love in love and happy and my heart is just so freaking full seeing my sister so excited. Getting engaged is a big deal for so many reasons, but underneath all of the social media excitement that has taken over the industry is the important thing: you’re committing to spending your life with someone. I am so happy that my little sister is marrying a man I love so much and will be a part of my family permanently. Let the year of celebrations begin!!!
What the FF Fam is Loving
Substack Chat Function - Last week I held a giveaway in the FYC newsletter (winner selected and notified!) and I asked you all to comment how you were filling your cups. I loved reading/responding to you all and it gave me an idea…. using the Substack Chat to interact with you all! We can discuss Substack posts, share self-care tips, or chat about anything!
Speaking of how you’re filling your cup, I’d love it if you’d continue to share how you’re prioritizing your wellbeing in the comments on these posts. Self-care is so damn important… and you gave me lots of ideas!
Loved the Lucy episode!! It was so fun and you two will always have this recorded to remanence on for years to come!!! 🤍🤍 and here’s to making all the summer memories!!☀️
Filling my cup by reading your articles!! I love them so much! I’m reading this one before I start my work day and it’s helping me overcome the work dread 😧
