Life Lately and Internet Trolls
Getting ready to take a week off with my family and random thoughts about internet trolls
It has been a ridiculous few weeks of sickness and doing nothing, but things finally seem to be turning around. Margot finally went back to school after 2 weeks at home, and the weather has been beautiful.
I shot 3 campaigns on Monday and a big one yesterday, and have wrapped up everything except a sponsored reel. It’s not “hard” for me to do but really drains me, so it feels hard even though I know it’s not, if that makes sense.
With two trips coming up in the next month, I started getting ready. I’m packing the kids for our trip next week and have made a few plans and reservations in Paris thanks to The Petit Guide. And I somehow managed to get almost all my work done in time to spend a few days with my sister and celebrate Jack’s birthday before we leave on Monday. Just need to wrap up this reel.
I also had a really incredible experience thanks to Jackie Loughlin. I’m not even sure how to explain the evening, but she asked me to show up and I am so glad I did. There was meditation (which isn’t usually my thing even though I want and need it to be, and it was AMAZING) and connection, and it was eye-opening. It’s just too much to dive into now and details are still being figured out, but I am so excited about what this could become.

Jack’s Birthday
About a week ago, I decided to throw a small last-minute party for Jack this weekend because of course I did. I ordered a few balloons and am keeping it very, very simple. Sandwiches, drinks, squishmallow party favors, cupcakes, and a dozen balloons. My sister will be here and is extremely helpful. Our old nanny (who has become a dear friend) is coming with her family, and our au pair and her best friend will be here, too. We really are so lucky to have these wonderful people in our lives.
I also didn’t really think through a gift for Jack because he’s one and doesn’t know the difference, but felt bad so I ordered this. His sisters are going to give him this and this and his grandma got him this (it looks pretty great).
There were a few stress purchases mixed with necessities the last few weeks. Any time I spend too much time at home I try to improve my house, so Margot got a new desk. I shared my beach vacation packing list and got some great new dresses and swimsuits, and the kids’ beach trip outfits are pretty cute, too.

There’s been some new connections made the last few weeks that I am excited about. I’ve shared this with you but I’ve really missed having close friends nearby. More on that soon.
I shared my favorite new bra in stories, and if you purchase in the next 24 hours, you’ll get 25% off with the code MOSSFS25. I am a 34C and wear a medium, and it fits perfectly.
My wet vac is 30% off right now. If you haven’t purchased it, you really need to. See it in action here.
