{affiliate links are in this post} Orrrrr at least I think I’m more of a traditionalist! I do love antiques … if that’s what you call things I buy at thrift stores, lol. My mother taught me that every room needs a touch of modern. And I agree – even with the harder lines it seems to lighten […]

ideas for dressing little boys for fall pictures

{Affiliate links are used in this post} Honestly I should really be working on my own wardrobe right about now. With no real push lately, I’m mostly found in zella leggings and a t-shirt or a loft top with some jeans. I need to step my own game up, as much as I do my kids. […]
Disney World for a Milestone Birthday

Last month we celebrated my mother in law’s milestone birthday at Disney World. She had always wanted to stay at the place where you wake up and go to bed and animals are outside your balcony. It was such a great time for all of us, and I know the boys loved it. We had the […]

10 activities to do with your kids in New Orleans

Like I said yesterday, I loved New Orleans with our kids. I know it seems like it might not be too family friendly, but it can be. Just stay away from Bourbon! That’s true of any big city, there’s always an area you probably shouldn’t take your kids. There were a ton of suggestions on […]
why we love the Windsor Court in New Orleans

I grew up going to the New Orleans area every summer visiting family, and in college I lived down in the warehouse district on South St Peters street working at my uncles law firm for two summers. I always loved visiting but living there gave me a whole new appreciation. I love the feeling I get there. It’s beautiful […]
oh, irma.

{florida print by paper please studio} The name irma means War Goddess, and unfortunately she lived up to her name. Packing up and leaving our house was surprisingly not so bad- there’s nothing in this world that cannot be replaced other than our people. We hit the road on Wednesday after school finished, and headed to […]
Mickey’s Halloween Party with Preschoolers

Wait, what, sarah? It’s September! Is what you’re probably thinking. But Disney sent us tickets to experience the the party, and I just couldn’t say no. Thank you, Disney! We had never been, and I heard it’s a fun night. Plus it was a really special one on one thing to do with my […]
5 tips on fostering sweet sibling relationships

Most surprising to me is how close my kids are. They get along and play non stop most of the time. I know that won’t always be the case, and likely as soon as I hit publish the tides will turn on me! And now, I only have two and a half years under my belt […]

What can I say? a white woman? with all the privilege that goes along with that. But I can’t not say something. What happened in Charlottesville turned my stomach. It makes me physically ill that this kind of hate is out there. The fact that there are people that think this way, people we encounter on […]

Legoland Florida with Toddlers

We had so much fun yesterday at Legoland with our friends Jordan and Covington. It was our first trip to Legoland, so I don’t have many tips. But if your little one loves Legos they will loooooove legoland. Tuck loves legos – I hear “where’s my guy?” approximately 1290812 a day. Wes loves them by default […]
