three little home updates
we added these botanical prints in our breakfast nook (they are from joss and main, though I haven’t spotted them lately- will let you know if I do). It’s crazy how much homier our house feels. It’s so hard for me to commit to artwork but I love how this turned out. we switched […]
somebody hold me
we dropped off tuck at the school he’ll be going to in January two mornings a week. It’s just a day to shadow, see what it’s like, and get tested. I know he’s there right now loving it and he’s well taken care of, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have […]

fall in florida

a summer salad + a leftover recipe

my compassionate two year old
The other day we were at the bounce house (it’s so hot, and you have to get out all that energy somewhere. I’ve even resorted to chuck-e-cheese lately) and Tuck saw a little girl crying in the corner. He sat next to her, put his arm around her and told her it was okay. The […]
Magic Kingdom with a Two year old
We had a week at disney! It was so much fun watching him there. Aside from the 24 hour bug where Tuck threw up on me, himself, and into my diaper bag. I called a teledoctor two times, and brought him into a clinic. Gosh that was a day… But he was quickly back to […]
a breastfeeding story // second time around
{photo by jessica lorren} Nursing the first time around hurt like hell. After a long traumatizing birth, it was the last thing I wanted to work on right away. I think it can be especially hard that first time around, even if you had no tongue or latch issues, because you are learning so much […]
