champagne bridal brunch shower
Tried to get a quick pic to show y’all my dress, and my guys hopped in there (: I made the mistake of not trying this dress on until ten minutes before I had to go! it’s shoooort! too short for comfort, but I just went with it. And can we talk about gorgeous my sister looks?!!! […]
easy sensory play
Sensory play is just plain fun, I love it just as much as the kids do. I find it therapeutic for all of us. Art can sometimes be tedious for me with the kids, and this is probably because I don’t consider myself any good at it, but sensory play- that I can do all day! […]
loving and links
It’s JBs 35th birthday today!! We had friends spend the night last night, and I cooked a big (bacon, eggs, hashbrown, biscuits) birthday breakfast for everyone. We’ve actually celebrated his birthday twice already, since his parents are on a trip we celebrated back in January, then a big party at my parents last weekend. So it […]

loving lately
This sign! I hung it up in Tucks room. The boys go to bed at the same time, after bath, we always get in Tucks bed to read and then I put Wesley down. So it seems perfectly fitting over his bed. It’s by Dwelling Space, and I couldn’t love it more. Pillows! I […]

enough
A couple weeks ago I had my nails and eyebrows done. Which is a shock in and of itself lately. First I had my eyebrows done, and the lady told me my eye brows are “too thin”. Nothing new to me, just what God gave me. I sat down to get a pedicure. Another […]
February Goals
I know February is flying by, but I didn’t want it to go too far without one of these goals posts. They really do help me stay on track. Well, mostly! In January I accomplished: Threw Tucks Birthday party Celebrated Seven years of marriage! organized two disaster closets in my house rehab-ed the neglected fiddle […]
Favorite Disney World moments over the week
Sorry it’s been quiet around here. A week at Disney, and I’ve fallen asleep at the same time as the boys have every night (7:30!). Which is not all that unusual but there has been NO down time. Not complaining, it really has been an extra special week. It’s flown by! Here’s some of my favorite […]
wedding guest dresses under $200
Today is a reader request! One reader is heading to several weddings in the months to come, and wanted options under $200. We have a ton of weddings coming up too, so it was fun to go window shopping. All of the rent the runway options are ones that I’ve worn and loved. Happy almost wedding […]
disney in january with toddlers
Yesterday was so much fun! I wanted to blog about it while it’s fresh in my mind. It was the first time we’ve lasted this long at magic kingdom. Tuck is finally at an age where if he doesn’t nap, he won’t turn into a pumpkin. While Wes is a pretty happy stroller napper. This […]
favorite (mostly thrift) finds lately ….
this target basket. reminds me of those old tobacco baskets, though it’s a different shape. My sister gave me this calendar from etsy seller redux 121 design. I love having it next to my bed side. I found four of these chairs for $6.99 at goodwill yesterday. they were a brown, and I just […]

business card valentine diy
I searched all over for a cute police valentine for Tucks class. Last year I used Minted, and while they have a ton of adorable ones right now, they don’t have any police ones that are exactly what I was looking for. When I couldn’t find anything I decided to repurpose the graphic from Tucks police birthday. […]
seven
{photo by ryan ray} JB and I have been together for nine and a half years, married for seven today. The beginning of our story starts out on the soccer field, during my brothers games, when I was five and he was seven. Back and forth crushes for years, but first a friendship was formed. Which […]
Bar stool roundup
A sweet instagram follower recently asked if I do any e-design. I was so flattered!! Especially since she has such amazing taste. I’ve had so much fun sourcing items, one of them being bar stools. Our bar stools are one of my big purchase regrets (thankfully I don’t have too many!). They came broken […]
january beach days + the crazy days before two
{wes is in the cooper color block jon jon by tbbc} Despite these pretty pictures and a pretty perfect afternoon at the beach yesterday, life has been a little wonky lately. Wes is at an age that is Hard. Wes is 100% head strong, incredibly smart, and always knows what he wants but can’t fully communicate […]
Vintage Bar Armoire
I recently discovered gin & tonics! they are so refreshing. thank you Crissy!! {anthropologie carafe/ glasses} Last year I started keeping all of our wine corks. I write the date and who we had over, or what we are celebrating that day. These are held in the world market barcelona vases. {Pagoda cocktail napkins […]
bedroom refresh – a new fan
One of my goals this January was to finally put a new fan in our bedroom. Honestly, that was goal number one when we moved in. But it’s funny how you get used to an old fan, and it doesn’t bother you as much. But it was hideous! I’ll show y’all the before and after […]
FOUR
Tuck is four! He is kind, compassionate, sweet, brave, funny, loving, and friendly. Ninny would always say “he is so tender hearted!!” and he really is. He gave ninny his monogrammed teddy a couple of months ago to “make her smile”. He promised on that visit to her, that next time he would bring her […]
January Goals
January is dear to me. I so love the fresh start. It’s crazy how much clutter Christmas adds to your home. It’s good clutter, but it’s nice when it goes in the attic too. I love the clean slate January gives both my mind and my home. It’s also the month of our anniversary and my […]
my ninny
Sorry it’s been quiet here! I promised fun content, and it’s been crickets. With good reason, as my Ninny went to be with Jesus last week. We got in late last night from Mississippi. It’s hard, and I know it’ll always be at least a little hard knowing she’s not here. I miss her so […]
our chalk paint dresser
Recently I discovered Facebook Marketplace (not sponsored!) while on my phone. I love it! It’s like craigslist, but I find it easier to search, easier to upload a listing, and you can limit the radius you’re willing to go to pick something up. I spotted this dresser – a drexel, that had been painted using chalk […]
