The Good List: some pretty fantastic friends, the yummiest biscuits in Columbia, and celebrations for new adventures.

TikTok Trends

Dec 16, 2022 | Everyday Life

I always enjoy following along with current trendy things on social media. Even though I don’t post there super regularly, it’s still fun to think about what I would post if I was following along with the viral TikTok challenges (minus dances because, well, just no). Most of the ones I’m excited about lately are Pinterest related – so enjoy these few fun things and maybe I’ll share some again in the future when new ones pop up.

Jacqueline-Core

This one was made by searching my name and “core” on Pinterest.

I’m a huge fan of the French vibes that my name always brings about. Plus books and a solid quote. I’m sold.

Jacqueline Aesthetic

Searched “Jacqueline Aesthetic” on Pinterest. Mind readers. Censor for tiny eyes.

Doesn’t the second to last photo remind you of a Taylor Swift album? Just me, ok cool. PS. Writing a post about all my thoughts on Taylor Swifts new album with a whole list of my favorite songs.

If My Pinterest Board Was My __________

Curated Pinterest boards showcasing all my favorites.

Simultaneously my favorite to make and the longest to put together. I did have some of these things already pinned, but it was fun to categorize them in this way. Attitude and aesthetic are spot on. I normally say “neutral” is my favorite color, but I had to do something a little more visually interesting for this!

If I were a __________ (according to Kevin)

I asked Kevin, “If I were a __________ (color, season, fruit, etc.) what would I be? These were his answers.

  • Color: coral
  • Season: fall
  • Fruit: blueberries
  • Time of day: nap time
  • Flower: mums
  • Thing: magic 8 ball
  • Holiday: Christmas
  • Weather: 73 degrees and partly sunny
  • Food: nachos

Ok, this was fun. I’m here for all of the things that are supposed to describe me. Obviously, if I didn’t agree it wouldn’t be here. They are all curated and lovely and I just want to keep them here as a reminder of silly things we do like I wish I still had my last MySpace Top 8, Favorite Xanga Quotes and Tumblr reposts. RIP to all those websites, ok bye for now.

Week in the Life 2022 | Sunday

Nov 13, 2022 | Week in the Life

I almost didn’t even bother posting this, but instead I’m just going to keep it real. Callahan being under the weather and sleeping poorly meant that I wasn’t as focused taking photos for the day. We stayed at home and tried to relax a bit – something we are both learning how to do.

As we wrap up the week of photos and words, I would just encourage you to take photos of the day-to-day, the things that feel mundane, and the routines. It truly is so worthwhile when you look back through photos a few years from now. If you want to look back through other Week in the Life installments I’ve posted, you can do that here.

8:58 AM // Another morning, another breakfast shot. There are so many things I love about this house. The lighting and floors are *chef’s kiss*.

9:56 PM // More Bluey and trying to help him relax. You’d have no idea he is sick!

4:40 PM // The sun is setting and we had beautiful light pouring into our house. Kev was out running errands and grabbing food for the week. Super thankful to be tag-teaming all the things.

9:59 PM // Stayed up late Marco Poloing with Taylor and Sarah. I had this ceramic tree (that brings back lots of memories from childhood Christmases) all lit up. Even though I said we’re not putting up Christmas for a few weeks, it’s still sweet to have a little hint at the excitement of the holiday season. I just know it’s going to be so fun watching Callahan experience all the joy.

Thank you for following along on this journey!

Week in the Life 2022 | Saturday

Nov 12, 2022 | Week in the Life

8:29 AM // Breakfast with the whole fam. It’s a bit later today because we slept in more than we can on week days.

9:33 AM // First snow of the season. This was really the only way I could take a picture of snow and actually capture a flurry.

10:15 AM // Callahan is really into bubbles right now. When we past these iridescent ornaments in Hobby Lobby he pointed and shouted “BUBBLES!!!” So we got a few for our tree that we are still probably a few weeks out from putting up.

10:42 AM // I mean, McDonald’s DOES diet coke. Yes, I got three for the two of us. No shame in my LDC game.

11:06 AM // Peekaboo is a favorite game these days. I’m obsessed.

11:24 AM // The best toys are at the bottom of the basket.

3:28 PM // Saturday OOTD vibes.

6:37 PM // Quintessential dinner table with a toddler shot.

7:00 PM // We use our Google Nest to listen to music 24/7. Kevin turned on Christmas music for the first time this year but my current go-to is Taylor Swift’s new Midnights album.

2:51 AM // Technically it’s Sunday, but it feels right to add it here. Callahan started feeling a bit under the weather and I woke up to him coughing in the middle of the night through the monitor. Just wanted to capture this real life in this season.
