We’re in Miami, and have a bit of a delay in our flights, so I just figured I’d get the questions answered here!
Here’s another FAQ
Favorite routine of the day?
reading and prayers before bed. No matter what has happened that day, it’s just a time for family and I love it. I love their heads on my chest and how much we all love books.
As someone who’s been blogging for a while, any tips for how far out to plan content?
I think a month or even two before is most beneficial. I bought this printable calendar, which gives you a heads up for what’s going on in each month, and helps me brainstorm. It also tracks social growth too.
What make up brushes have you found to work well and not leave hairs on face?
I used to use a beauty blender, but I’m back to using my hands – which I’m sure is a terrible make up technique.
how do you afford so much travel? tips?
This trip that I’m headed on is one my husband earns through his work. Since starting he’s always earned two a year, but if you combine two you can score a “super trip”. This trip is a super trip – and we’ve never done that before!
The other answer is that we prioritize it. We also are fortunate that we don’t have a big mortgage – so that helps us prioritize it. I’d rather explore a new country than have a new designer anything.
Annnnd the other answer is that I am “working” on many trips I take. Here’s a post I did on that.
can you talk about how you introduced your boys, having #2 on wednesday?
Congrats!!!
grab your kleenex- you may get a bit teary eyed with these pics. Wes was born at 1am, so I had Tuck come and meet him as soon as possible. I think it was around 10am when he came. We didn’t do anything super special. I did have a few gifts “from the baby” and had him wear “big brother” scrubs.
spray tan – how often do you go?
Probably once a month. But more, if we have events. I just like myself better tanned (: it helps me wear less make up.
what’s your favorite day time scent? need a new everyday light perfume?
I have never been a big fragrance person mainly because of all of the chemicals. But I recently discovered CLEAN, and bought my first bottle of perfume in probably 20 years!
love your shades? do you mind sourcing them?
what self tanner do you use?
I do a level 2 gradual at zoom tan. But If I can’t make it there, I’ll use the tan drops VERY sparingly mixed in my moisturizer.
do you think you want more children?
I feel the same way as I did in this post.
Can you provide what a day with the boys in school and out looks like?
M-F the boys have school. My husband mostly does drop off, because he loves doing drop off.
I’m still working on what the day really looks like for me while they are in there.
It’s mostly – make lunches, get the boys ready, breakfast, kisses out the door. then I usually do a little work, take a shower, try to do something active, work some more, errands, chores … sometimes the day is broken up by grabbing lunch with my husband or girlfriends, going to reflexology with gfs, playing tennis with gfs. Once it’s time for pick up, I usually make or bring a smoothie for them after school. Some days we go to my parents and swim and have dinner there, some days were just having free time at home. They also have soccer/gymnastics/coding this fall. Homework right now is only one book they read to us a night, and then at least 20 minutes of us reading to them.
Maybe I’ll do a post when I feel a bit more settled in our schedule.
just bought a house! favorite places for home decor?
Serena and Lily is a great spot for inspiration but $$
Target – Opalhouse or Threshold are my faves
Honestly, I love scouring craigslist and going to thrift stores. Sarasota’s Womens exchange is so good if you are local!
Restoration Hardware – RH baby and child is a great source for lighting if you don’t have super high ceilings or are in an older house.
where did you get that sunglass chain from?
It’s Veronica DeOre and you can get 20% off with code STucker20
