Say Hi to Summer with Old Navy
This is a sponsored post with Old Navy (a place I’ve always loved to shop!). It also contains affiliate links. Photos by Shannon Kirsten The other day while stopping in Shannon’s studio, she couldn’t believe this dress was Old Navy. Indeed! I had a similar experience in Annapolis five years ago for my […]
Four Seasons Nevis with Kids
I had never heard of Nevis until we started picking out a trip for the summer. It’s pronounced “Knee-Vis” … I called it “nehvis” leading up to the trip. It’s a little island off of St. Kitts with quite a bit of history. Fans of Hamilton probably already know that Alexander Hamilton was born in […]
Boat look in Nevis with J.McLaughlin
{Beach Caftan c/o J.McLaughlin // Carlotta straw hat c/o J.McLaughlin // Jack Rogers sandals // Sunglasses from amazon } I loved wearing this beautiful caftan out on the boat, The Spirit, the other day. We had so much fun snorkeling and I was surprised it was so clear – almost as clear as the BVI’s! I love […]
Nevis Day Two
We lucked out and just happened to be here during sea turtle week! It was so exciting! The boys attended the sea turtle camp, which is so fun because the four seasons invites all of the Nevisian children to go too. They made lots of fast friends. My favorite was watching Tilly the turtle be released back into […]

Beauty Routine Series: Part Two – Hair
First of all, I can’t stress enough how important it is to find someone who wants your hair to be its healthiest and takes the time to figure out your hair. I think having heather jo do my hair for over six years has helped my hair SO much. A lot of times I don’t even check to […]

Fourth of July Weekend
What a fun weekend spent on the boat – fishing, spotting dolphins, and finding seahorses. We went to one of my dads games, and the boys had a blast running the bases at the end. We rode up on our bikes for breakfast Saturday morning. It’s one of those weekends I don’t want to forget! Hope you […]

my current skincare routine
A few people have asked about an updated beauty routine post, so here’s the first part of the series: Skincare! I have a very expressive face, my friends call it “resting nice face” (: , and I’ve got a bad (or is that good!) case of it. So I have a lot of expression lines […]
small kitchen updates
A couple of small kitchen updates that have made a big impact on me loving this space. I found this sterling silver champagne bucket at a thrift store, and knew I wanted to use it to hold serving spoons, etc. For mother’s day JB gave me these Aerin plates. Our everyday plates that were […]
Staycation at the Vinoy
As I mentioned yesterday, my girlfriends and I took a little staycation to the Vinoy on Friday. The Vinoy invited us up for a complimentary night to take a look at the new sample rooms. JB and I stayed at the Vinoy (and loved it!) about 5 years ago. I was newly pregnant, and no […]
My favorite thing to wear this June
Last Friday, Shannon, Heather, and I skipped town to go up to St. Pete for a night to celebrate Heather’s birthday. Even though we all live in the same area now, the time we spend together is often hurried. Well, if you call three-hour dinners hurried (; … but it always feels like never enough […]

summer is here and so are those pretty thunderstorms
Our first week of Summer! It rained for much of it, so we embraced it – indoor museums, playing in the rain, stomping in puddles, bug hunts, baking, movies, forts, gymnastics… I rarely mind the rain. Especially here in Florida because it cools it all off. And it’s an excuse to get cozy! As soon […]
blue and white summer
y’all know by now, it’s basically blue and white everything around here. Those crisp blues for summer just feel perfect right now (and always, ha!). Most of these picks are under $100! I just love the bathing suit ($35 for the set), and it’s a two piece that could get me out of my one […]

Memorial Day Weekend 2017
Teaching a four year old about what Memorial Day is all about put it into perspective for me yesterday. The fact that I get to have this life, with all of these freedoms, is unreal. May we all be forever thankful for those that paved the way, and those that are paving and protecting those freedoms […]

Thift store finds
Yesterday someone said they loved my top, and because I can’t help myself, I said “thanks! it was only $10!!”… it’s like I am compelled to tell people how cheap things are. She said “I like it even more now!”… and I thought, that is the perfect response. I often share on instastories about my thrift […]
