out.back.
my favorite – fresh peppermint in piping hot water. Have been using the ergo in his infant insert lately to nurse if I need my hands free. He loves being curled up in the infant insert! I love spending our mornings and evenings in the backyard. Tuck is busy being verrrry busy – in his […]
My parents say I was a lot like content little Wes as a baby – and it tricked them into (thankfully!) going for four. Which is sorta what I hope our ending number is – four. Lord willing, of course. And who talks about another baby two weeks after having one? When you have a […]
Life Lately: in between snuggles
Just some randomness from a sleep deprived, happy mama … Things that have been different this time around… For one thing, it’s been nice not having to go back to work right away. I was literally working the week after Tuck was born, which is slightly crazy of me, but was necessary at the time. […]

Waiting on Wesley … + links
Happy due date Wesley James! You can take your time … though just know there are many that can’t wait to meet you, and your daddy, your big brother, and I are at the top of that list. sooooo maybe don’t take too long (; I am already dilated and effaced – but really don’t […]
This week has been a whirlwind, an awfully long one too. I think I thought it was Friday every day of the week. My papaw went to be with Jesus on Monday morning. And I just got back home from Georgia. Much to my surprise my doctor gave me the OK to travel up to […]

BEST THING EVER: affordable, natural, effective, haircare
one:two:three One question I get emailed a bit about is what shampoo/conditioner I use. Which is baffling because my hair is done maybe 1% of life. I always struggle with it because while Pureology makes my hair look great – it’s not pure, and it’s expensive! And so many “natural” shampoos have failed me – […]
this quote has long been a favorite and is going in Wesley’s nursery This post by my girlfriend brittany does a great job of explaining essential oils. These PJ’s for Tuck are adorable, inexpensive and 100% cotton. My friend Anna gets to meet her son in China in just a few short days. You can […]

the nesting/spring cleaning monster among us … me (:
*the light color is the refinished wood and the bottom is not* Our hardwood floors in our kitchen were diiiiiisgusting. About this same unfortunate orange color that we have in our dining and living rooms but ten times more beat up. The kitchen once housed a sweet old bulldog and a blue tick hound I […]
spring inspired chocolate chip cookies
It’s the last month before Wesley arrives and I’ve vowed to treat myself. I get tuesdays allllll to myself thanks to my mother in law which sometimes feels down right gluttonous! On that day I am usually busy as a bee but for this last month I am trying to take it easy; go to […]

Tuck the Tea Man
Tuck is obsessed with pouring! My mom does a lot of montessori activities with Tuck. Pouring is one of those- I’m happy to replace her cute china (I think she is too) with this adorable little wooden set from Our Green House. It’s also a great little set I bring with me in my purse […]

PSA for the belly basket lovers
{rug} So I have been pining over the Serena and Lily belly baskets for.ever. or at least at first sight. But I could never bite the bullet as they were over $100. Even though you get two for that price! Then randomly I found them on diapers.com + the 20% off discount if you are a […]

Third Trimester Favorites
Third Trimester Tea: After reading the reviews I am looking forward to having a cup every night.

But there is never a time I […]
