Hello from Turks and Caicos
Hello from this beautiful island!!

We are so thankful it wasn’t anything worse!! Anyway, just […]

what’s in my beach bag
Since we are close to the beach I never unpack my beach bag. But since we are headed to turks and caicos toward the end of the month I have been thinking of what stays behind and what’s coming with … This is a paired down beach bag but all the essentials (: The Frogglez– simply the […]

Me too
{sign c/o the dwelling space} One of the things that stuck out to me when I was listening to Brene Brown’s The Power of Vulnerability was the way she talks about this one scenario with her daughter. Her daughter comes home from middle school and no one sat with her for lunch. Brene has to […]

Life in May via my phone
Tomorrow it’s June! What?! I thought I’d do a little recap of the month, via pictures found on my phone. We started the month off with some boating. We borrowed my in-laws boat (the boat we always use), and tied it up at our dock which was so much fun that weekend. We just hopped […]

Happy Birthday Baby!
I’ve spent the better part of an hour pouring through the past years photos. I miss every stage of wesley’s first year. Every stage had its own thing that may have driven me a bit crazy, but what do I remember overall? how sweet this year has been. We blinked! Wesley is one today! […]

Thoughts and some daydreaming
This summer we are doing a Caribbean vacation (Turks and Caicos) with the boys and my in laws. Which I am so excited about! But we also can’t stop thinking about next summer. We are in the (very) early stages of planning a trip to Europe and then extending in Basel for a bit. To […]
Loving Key Largo Florida
Hello from Key Largo!! I can’t believe it’s been two years since we were here. It’s hard to imagine a time before Wes, or when Tuck was so little! I love this place so much – it really is such a great spot for families. Looking forward to a great long weekend here in paradise. Also […]
Ten IKEA items I’m loving
I love Ikea. I get incredibly excited when we go. I could spend days in here, and still feel like I need to see more. The first time I went to one was when we were living in Switzerland. From then on, I was hooked! Once we were back in the states, we bought our first couch […]
al fresco dining and the play house
It may not look like much more than some grass but this was a huge dirt pit when we first moved in! Our neighbors said they had put sod down a few times, and it never stuck. So we tested our soil, asked some experts on timing and type of grass that would be best […]

mom uniform volume 1
I’ve been so inspired by Natalie Borton’s “Legit Mom Style” series, that I thought it could be fun to do one of my own. I’ve mentioned before how I’ve struggled to rediscover my style since having Wesley. It’s hard to find things that are appropriate for errands, school pick up, playdates… mom life. For this […]
