How to Help a Grieving Friend

I have been working on this post for quite some time. This summer marked two years since my brother passed away, and we’re nearing a year since we lost my mom to cancer. With the holidays quickly approaching, I thought now would be a good time to finally share a…

  • This is definitely not what I wore today, but you all seemed to love this look when I shared it on my stories. And since I’m about 5,000 followers away from the ‘Swipe Up’ feature, just a friendly reminder that I rounded up most of my work outfits from January on the blog, including this one ☺️ you can click the link in my profile to find the post! http://liketk.it/2JfbE @liketoknow.it #liketkit #itsbanana
  • Nothing beats waking up in your own home! Bill left at 5 a.m. for a pond hockey tournament in Minnesota, Ainsley slept through the night and was okay to go to daycare and I’m about to tackle my terrifying inbox after eating cookies for breakfast. If you watched our very official home tour on Instagram stories, you know this room sold me on the house. I’d love to swap out the rug in the next few months (I’ve been eying a few from @serenaandlily), and we’re putting up the same curtains and rods as the dining room soon. And yes, I’m keeping that wreath up at least through January. http://liketk.it/2JvOJ #liketkit @liketoknow.it
  • Kicking off @kbis_official with @kohler my two babes ❤️
  • I may be cutting it really close for my flight today, but this selfie was totally worth it. I’m going to miss this little squish (and her dada) so much this week.
  • I should be asleep already, but I’m going through all my favorite photos on my phone instead. This is one of those seemingly ordinary moments, but it reminds me so much of my mom. She was so selfless but also very particular about how our home was vacuumed. When Ainsley came home from her ear tube procedure, I tried to cover her in a blanket on the couch, but she took it straight to her baby doll to tuck her in instead. Just like how my mom much preferred to be the caregiver rather than the patient. Then last week when she had hand, foot and mouth, Ainsley still insisted on vacuuming the entire living room for me just like my mom always did no matter how she was feeling. Here’s hoping Ainsley keeps taking after her ❤️
