Life Lately: Beach Days, NFL Sunday, Work, and My 20-Week Ultrasound
Another week has come and gone, and I’m so glad I brought you along for it in my latest vlog! If you haven’t watched yet, you can catch it here down below 👇 I love using this space to go a little deeper into what our week looked like—the ups, the downs, and the little thoughts in between.
Saturday: Beach Day
We started the week off the best way possible—with a beach day. Naomi just loves the water and never wants to get out , and honestly, there’s nothing like letting her burn off energy by the ocean. I swear the beach is equal parts fun and chaos… but when I see the how much fun she’s having and laughing, it feels worth it. Even if I know I’ll still be finding sand in the car a week later.
Sunday: NFL Sunday
We spent Sunday over at my in-laws’ house watching the games. Full honesty—I’m not really into football. Part of me wanted to stay home to clean and maybe get some meal prep done, but I rolled with it. I ended up using the time to edit content while everyone else was locked into the plays, so it worked out. It’s one of those “pick your battles” mom moments—sometimes you just go with the flow.
The Work Week Grind
From Monday through Friday, it was the usual mom-meets-work balance. Coming from being a hairstylist for 10 years, I’m not used to the whole 40-hour work week thing. It’s definitely been an adjustment, but I love that this job is still very flexible. I can do a lot from home, which means I get to still be with Naomi during the day. But that also means I’m trying to answer emails or edit posts while chasing a toddler, and let me tell you—it’s a workout on its own. Some days I feel like I’ve got it handled, other days it’s a hot mess, but that’s real mom life.
Tuesday: 20-Week Ultrasound
The highlight of my week was definitely our 20-week ultrasound. Everything looked good, baby is growing right on track, and it was such a relief to see that little heartbeat flickering away. These appointments always make it feel more real, like—wow, baby #4 is really on the way!
Midweek Reset
Somewhere in the middle of the week, I found myself cleaning, cooking, and just doing the usual “keeping it together” stuff. It’s never glamorous, but honestly, those are the moments that fill up most of life. Folding laundry while listening to a podcast, wiping down the counters for the third time in a day—it’s all part of the rhythm.
Friday Wrap-Up
I actually got to end the week on a fun note. I had to grab social media content at Restaurant 604, so I decided to make it into a dinner night with my family. It was the perfect little blend of work and family time, and such a nice way to wrap up the week.
This week had a little bit of everything—family fun, work challenges, and a sweet baby milestone. That’s life lately in a nutshell, and I’m so grateful to document it here. If you haven’t watched the vlog yet, make sure to check it out—it’s a cozy little peek into our world.
