We're back to me writing some of my favorite content in the evenings (as someone who has been a lifelong early bird), but I'm not mad about it 🦉

If this comes across your feed 👋 Hi, I'm Hailley. I lead Brand Marketing & Content @Buffer.com, juggle life with kids, and think in systems. Would love to connect!

I don't have a lot of confidence in the email I just sent to the no reply email but fingers crossed it works out 😅

We're hiring at Widgetsmith! We are looking for a designer to help our growing team. This is an incredible opportunity to have your work seen by millions of customers who love to personalise their iPhones. If this sounds exciting, please take a look and apply: widgetsmith.app/jobs

One of the greatest perks of working from home is that I've been leveling up my sushi game and I can just make myself sushi for lunch on the daily

Hoping that Luna sunbathing crosses your feed today 🌞 #CatsofBluesky

*In corporate voice* Welcome to Q4.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how constraints lead to creativity. My time has never been more constrained before, and yet somehow these last few weeks I’ve managed some of the writing I’m most proud of.

We're hiring on our Customer Support team at @buffer.com! 💻 Salary: $75.8K – $110.9K USD 🌎 Looking for someone in PST, MST, or HST ☕️ Fully remote 📆 4-day work week This is a very rare opening — the average team average tenure is 9 years between 18 customer advocates. buffer.com/journey/

Glad I wasn’t alone, because how is September already over?!

Back to school + new school/daycare means new routines. ✨ I have a slightly longer drive to drop the kids off and then get home for work, which means more time for podcasts, audio books, sending friends voice notes, and recording myself verbal processing. I’ll take it!

We are slowly redoing the floors in our home and WOW flooring is a big one to start the home reno journey with. 😅 I just keep repeating “it’s going to be worth it”

This week was my daughter’s first day at a new preschool and it feels like I have prepared more for this car drop off line and all the rules that come with it than I did for my last international flight.

One of the many reasons that Bluesky feels like one of the best versions of the internet right now — Bluesky isn’t fighting to keep you on the platform. 👏

I’ve been away from Bluesky for a bit (mostly on the @buffer.com account instead of my own) and logging back in was such a relief. Every notification was actually relevant to me and not random updates stuffed into my notifications like is common on other platforms. SO nice!

Today’s coworking buddy 😍

Different view, same amount of caffeine 😅☕️

I was promoted to a purple belt in #BJJ last night!! Still a bit in disbelief. I’ve had both of my kids while a blue belt. It’s been a wild ride. Excited for the next chapter.

Man. So much respect for the @buffer.com team and @joel.is. This kind of thing is so hard, and it's great to see the good ones win. buffer.com/shareholders...

Alright this is a niche request but I think Bluesky might be the right place. I’m a Canadian living in Tennessee — I would love to connect with and follow other Canadians living in the US right now.

New office monitor is all set up after the old one gave up on me.🌷Never realized how attached I was to my external monitor until I spent the week without it. Productivity (and sanity) restored! *Luna approves as well.

Luna enjoying the brief bit of sunshine we got in TN today before the storms start again.

It’s giving ‘another night of no sleep’ 😓

Great company. Thanks y'all! We got more storms coming!

My daughter’s preschool taught her “don’t be scared, be prepared” and hearing her little voice saying that while we are under tornado watch is both sweet and a little eerie. 😭

It’s amazing what can be accomplished quickly by tech companies that prioritize hiring real people to listen to users’ concerns. Well done, @buffer.com, and thanks again, Hailley!

Wild time to live in Tennessee. We’ve had storms the last few weekends but this one is much worse. Great account to follow for the most up to date weather info ⬇️

Today I've passed the milestone of *one million steps* walked on my walking pad since I purchased it in late October!🚶‍♂️ That's an average of 6,339 steps a day over this period and a total distance of about 400 miles walked...all while working. h/t to @hailley.co who inspired me to buy it.

Bluesky loves links! We don't downrank, and major publishers report that we're sending more link traffic than other sites. Here's the top links shared on Bluesky, updated hourly. theblue.report/week/

You know there wasn't a marketer on the founding team when you drive past a daycare called Kids Depot. 😅

I'm more likely to spend time writing if the Notion space where I organize my writing ideas is visually appealing and organized. I don't make the rules, that's just how it is these days. #WriterSky

I hadn't seen this option for Focus modes on my Mac before 👀 As someone who doesn't really use Focus modes beyond "Do Not Disturb" I'm super excited to see how well this works.

I have never been so grateful for the systems in my life now that I’m raising two kiddos. Everything needs to go into a list for me to do it and thankfully I have that all ready to go. ✨

Using my walking pad while I work has been such an easy way to help me feel more energized throughout the day. It’s fun to see the culture grow as well, more and more folks join meetings on walking pads at @buffer.com these days. 🚶🏻‍♀️ #RemoteWork

I don't need coffee but I do need whatever has given my baby the energy to skip his second nap three days in a row.

Fellow audiobook + self-improvement lovers: I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this one. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the chapters are short and sweet & the narrator’s voice is incredibly soothing. #Audiobooks

Lune smelling (and then nibbling) the roses 🌹

Trying to spend more time on Bluesky as myself since it truly feels like one of the best places on the internet. I’m here via the @buffer.com account every day and it’s honestly the best & most engaged community right now! 💙

Grateful that @jay.bsky.team mentioned the moss feed on the south by stage earlier this week. What a calming feed! 🟢 bsky.app/profile/did:...

It is probably not surprising how motivating I find this new @buffer.com feature, but Streaks has definitely helped me stay more on track with my content creation in recent weeks.

A little work around if you’re hitting errors with posting to Bluesky from @buffer.com right now. Our team is working on a better fix, though!

First time making bagels and they turned out way better than I expected! These were very simple protein bagels made with Greek yoghurt.

I don't need coffee but I do need whatever has given my 10-month old the energy to skip his second nap three days in a row.

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes I’m in bed by 8 pm. And it’s magical.

Another day, another visit to my new favorite work spot (the library 😍) 📚
