links + small things
Exfoliators I Love
tee (similar and currently $16.50!), jeans, booties
We have made it to Friday and I’m looking forward to the glass of wine I have coming my way this evening. We started a bit of a different routine this week that has consumed a good deal of my mind, but now that we have one week of it under our belts I think everyone has adjusted and we’re starting to get into the groove.
Peloton announced some new classes with songs from the musical Wicked and I cannot wait to do those rides! I’m scheduling a few of them for next week. Speaking of Peloton, my two most worn bike shorts when I ride are these high waist ones from Amazon, and the Spanx Every.Wear bike short with pocket. When it comes to bike shorts, I don’t need a big variety and I’m really pleased with the performance and comfort of these two!
I love a moto jacket like this to throw on over jeans and a tee. French Taupe looks like a really beautiful color!
I get so much wear out of these sneakers, I highly recommend them!
This is such a beautiful, classic jacket.
I love the Z Supply tanks and recently got this 3 pack of essentials. I love a tank + shorts in the warmer months and these are a great fit. I’m wearing a medium.
Items Mentioned on IG stories:
Lululemon Align Leggings– honestly unbeatable when you are looking for comfort, flexibility, with a waistband that doesn’t move.
Black Old Navy Jacket – a great basic!
Podcast 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms about the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – loved listening to this and learning more!
Sargento Snack Bites Cheese – I like having these in my fridge to pair with my daily apple 🙂
Biltmore Malbec Wine – I ordered 3 of these earlier this week and they already arrived!
Ole Henricksen Lemonade Smoothing Scrub
Anastasia Brow Pen in taupe – Check my highlights bubbles for the demo of this product.

Questions from Monday Morning Q&A on Instagram Stories:
What is your longest “favorite” that you’ve used? I’m going to answer this like it’s the longest beauty item I’ve used and that would have to be Kenra Volume 25 Hairspray!
Did you take any breastfeeding courses before you nursed Emily? No, but I had 2 experiences with my boys before I nursed her. I was able to nurse her for about 9 months which was so satisfying to me. I did not have success nursing David and I also wasn’t able to nurse Luke for very long either. So learning from my experiences helped me greatly when trying to nurse Emily for a longer amount of time. You can read this post all about it!
Best Madewell jeans for post-partum? Roadtrippers offer the most stretch!
What do you use to edit videos? Premiere Pro. I learned everything I know from trial and error as well as googling every question I’ve ever had!
Good hair product for breakage? You know, I really love the Alterna Bond Repair Leave-In Overnight Serum. It feels very light on the hair and really helps prevent more damage and softens the dry areas of my hair.
Do you like the Baby Foot masks? Yes! It’s crazy how much skin is removed but yes, I really like them!

Where did you get that cute shelf in your kitchen that is behind you in the cover picture? Thanks!

Thanks for resharing your breast feeding story. I am due in about a month with #2 and am trying to get prepared. I was able to breast feed my first for almost 6 months but I really am hoping for a better experience this time. That being said, I would never know which of your kids had the longest time in breast milk so – fed is best!
Thanks for the link, Kate! Have a great weekend! ❤️✨

Thank you, Kate! Love you column / gift.
Hi Kate! I recently got the FitTrack scale and was excited to see all of my measurements. Now that I have the data I’m lost on what to do to get some of my ‘high’ numbers down. What do you use or do?
I couldn’t get the link to work for the purple desk pad or Z tanks?
Just want to let you know that I love this new format with the mentions from the week all here! I loved reading your links and loves in the past, but this format is a nice refresh and great resource. It also gives me a chance to open some links again. I don’t always have time to shop through stories, but I go through emails on the weekends and catch up on blog reading on my laptop. 🙂
These posts are so helpful! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Can you link the hoop earrings that look like they have diamonds all around? I don’t see it posted in this week’s links.
I love these round-ups and that you have started putting in everything you mention from stories! Just ordered my little sister a Kiwi Crate for her birthday and got 20% off. Thanks for putting time into making these things easy to find!
I purchased the desk pad you recommended and just love it. I even discovered accidentally this past week that it is waterproof.
well glad to hear! 🙂
What was the TommyJohns discount code? Love your Instagram and blog etc. just started following you. Your are so awesome!
