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 […]

{thank you, Shannon, for these beautiful photos of a special day!} On Saturday we sprinkled baby boy davis, who is set to arrive in October (!!!), with all our love. Heather made me promise not to go overboard, so I mostly repurposed from past parties, stuff from the boys rooms, and she made the adorable […]
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 […]
Guest Room Refresh
We love hosting our friends who come into town. It’s so special having them stay with us – when else do you get to spend that much time with your friends as adults? Or that much time with your friends babies? It’s a treat. I’m allll about making them feel comfortable, welcomed, and right at […]
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 […]

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 […]

{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 […]
