Instead of feeling sad every time I see him in a cone for the next few weeks while he recovers, I decided to giggle! This cone makes me smile so hard and fits him better than a plastic cone in my opinion.

*his surgery is on his hind knee and so he won’t be able to reach the stitches with this on but for his paws he would be able to*

This now may be my favorite accessory for a little girl ever! We plopped it on her in the hospital and she never messes with it now.

You can place a giant bow or headband on her and she’s just so used to them. Plus this bow continues to hold its shape and stick straight up never flopping!

I finally got around to changing out all of the knobs on my LeCrueset set Kyle got me for Christmas and I’m so in love with how the copper looks! I love how easily all of these are to clean up and how they have a lifetime warranty. They’re an investment but they pay off! We have already sent in one that had a scratch and they sent us a whole new one!

Get ready for bed with me as I hydrate my skin to using GoodJanes Collagen Sleep Butter #goodjanesPartner #ad

In the summer I am outside daily and constantly applying sunscreen to protect my skin and provide moisture but I noticed it was still needing more hydration. The Collagen Sleep Butter from @goodjanesbeauty repairs the oxidative stress our skin goes through during the day using Melatonin and has Hyaluronic Acid to moisturize and improve its elasticity.

I use this cream a few nights a few night a week to give my skin that extra burst of moisture. When I wake up you can see my skin is glowy and soft versus dull and dry.

If you are looking for skincare products based on a health-first approach that uses ingredients that are good for your body and your skin, I encourage you to take a look at GoodJane and all of their new products!

As a Family Assistant with a Nanny background, I will be splitting my duties for the summer. I will be working as a Nanny but still doing Family Assistant tasks when the child is at summer camps.

Before he was out of school I worked on wrapping up some of the projects I had. Unfortunately this was my last super productive day before I got sick and was off work for a few days. Sorry I was MIA!

One of my favorite tasks is running errands for the family. I generally try to schedule them all on one day so I can plan the best route and be as effective as possible. I typically will run them in the mornings that way there’s less of a chance of something coming up.

I also like doing little thoughtful things for the mom, like filling her car up with gas. I never let her car get below 1/2 a tank and I always have it filled for the weekend. The same goes for the cleanliness of the car — I have worked here long enough to know when it needs cleaned out but I still text her to confirm prior to cleaning.

Now that the child is home for the summer my role will shift to that of a Nanny/Family Assistant. I’m so excited they finally get to see what fun summer camps I signed them up for back in February!!

Spend a Tuesday morning with me as a Family Assistant catching up after a long weekend traveling to Florida. I always start my week checking in with the family about the plans for the week and seeing what they need. I also immediately start the laundry, I find the best way to maximize my time is to get the laundry going.

Once I have a handle on the laundry it is time to take inventory of items they ran out of, are running low on and what I will need for dinners. I go to our recipe binder and a few different websites they are subscribed to and find ones that sound interesting. All morning it is shuffling laundry around, folding, putting away and then the afternoon I’m off running to the different grocery stores. I typically go to both Kowalski’s and Lunds & Byerlys as they both have specific foods they love.

What is an area of your home that could use a whole new level of organization?

For the family I work for, it was this extra storage space for their serving dishes, trays and platters. They have lived in this home for several years and - to put it simply - were playing a game of Jenga every time they needed an item.

The mom had asked me to help think of a solution that would allow them to use their air rights. I looked at various styles including pull out cabinet organizers, and expandable shelves but in the end I knew the best way to maximize the space was to build a custom solution for them.

I know that this is definitely outside of the normal skillset for a Family Assistant, but I love DIY construction, woodworking and customizing a home to better fit the needs of a person/ family. This is one of my strong skills and a hobby so I decided to bring up my tools and build it once they approved the design and estimate for time & materials.

I used a wide variety of tools to complete this project and worked on it on & off for 3 days. I am so happy with how it turned out! What do you think — is it more useful for them?

What is a unique skill you would love to have in a Family Assistant?

Last Saturday I went exploring with a friend in Miami and went to Sky Coffee. It was such a cute experience where they have part of a real airplane in a park and have turned it into a coffee shop. It’s only a 10-15 minute walk from Brickell City Center

Come spend a morning getting ready with me and my Collagen Cocktail Serum #GoodJanePartner #ad

I have been trying GoodJanes Collagen Cocktail Serum now for a few weeks and I couldn’t be happier with how my skin looks and feels. My skin is brighter and more even toned and my fine lines are reducing just after a few weeks. This Collagen Cocktail is like botox in a bottle — how could that be? The key ingredient is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 which relaxes the muscles like botox does but you don’t have to have the injections!

I myself have a terrible fear of needles so this is the perfect solution to reducing my fine lines! This serum is packed full of vegan collagen, vitamin C, niacin amide, peptides and antioxidants that work to improve your skin texture and rejuvenate the appearance of your skin!

If you are looking for skincare products based on a health-first approach that uses ingredients that are good for your body and your skin, I encourage you to take a look at GoodJane and all of their new products!

What is a big project that you would like done but never seem to find the time to complete?

As a Family Assistant / House Manager my days are never the same and when I don’t have a pressing task to complete, I have the flexibility to choose what I would like to work on.

Over the past weeks I’ve had a variety of tasks that the parents asked me to complete. These included searching for Tupperware and everyday glassware in the basement storage prior to ordering more, taking the patio door screens to the hardware store to be fixed, mail out a bunch of holiday cards and coordinate the sky light repair. During my free time I can work on other projects.

I decided it was time to organize the bedding since I wouldn’t be able to find a matching set easily if I tried. Now that we have the sheet, pillowcases and duvets organized by style we can easily see what we have and what is ripped, stained or old.

I love getting to work on projects like this! It’s one of my favorite things
