french look for less
Looking into all of the french inspired pieces – particularly the ones on the left side (inexpensive) but if you have a little more jangle in your pocket the right may be for your home! Bar stools: Love these Safavieh ones (only $148 + free shipping with prime) – the other ones are […]
my non gmo shopping list
While I see the need for GMO foods (how do we feed 9 billion people with organics!? answer the billion dollar question.), personally I try to limit our exposure at home. When you’re eating out, particularly where I live, there’s practically no hope of our family not consuming something that has genetically modified organisms. If I […]

Last week we hosted the most precious honeymooners in the history of ever. Sophie (who I’ve blogged about a hundred times) and her HUSBAND George live in Sydney, Austrailia but came to honeymoon across the south, and ending in the Keys. Sophie was actually one of the first blogs I ever read – what, 5 […]
Gallery {Staircase} Wall
Sometimes I feel a little silly because I love shades of turquoise so much. I’d love to be an all neutral kind of girl – I love the look. But I can’t stop buying anything in turquoise. It’s likely the ocean lover in me but whatever it is, it’s been a lifelong obsession. I love […]

Our Neutral Paint Colors
Little known fact about my husband … In between baseball seasons he painted a whole inside and outside of a house. Â So he knows his paint. Â He’s also a great painter. Â We didn’t do it all ourselves (and if you need a name of a guy locally please contact me – he did a great […]
farm and beach babes
riding a tractor AND picking his nose … Tuck is in heaven! Just a couple of random thoughts for your wednesday: -These photos were taken at Geraldson’s Farm Market. Best produce and best farmers in town! – I bought these $20 PJ’s after seeing Juleyt wearing them. They are the comfiest softest little treats ever and […]

I booked our hotel and tickets at 10pm with a disney representative and […]
Virgin Gorda: reading, eating, snorkeling
Oh my how I love those Caribbean blues. Honestly I think that’s my favorite thing about the BVI’s. I did a ton of staring at the water. and wondering how colors like that really exist. I also did my fair amount of reading. Four books to be exact. Finished Interrupted (which is the only non-smut book […]
An Honest Review +Alternatives
I’ve tried the majority of Honest Products. Some I love love love and some I’m so-so, at best, about. So here’s my review of all of the ones I’ve tried + alternatives that I’ve liked better in a few cases. Diapers: I’ve only used Honest save one time when my dad bought a pack of pampers […]
snorkeling virgin gorda
We’re back! I’ll recount more later but wanted to show you the photos from the go pro. I previously had an underwater camera that eventually bit the dust a few years ago and it never seemed to sustain going further than a few feet below. But not the go pro! It was sort of confusing […]
Letters to Tuck // Volume 15
Dear Tuck, Happy half birthday my little man always on the go, mr. independent and yet mr. snuggly, chaser and catcher of lizards, sir who eats at least a good cup of dirt a day, friend to all, holder of my hand, smoocher who includes sound effects, the guy who usually has skinned knees, and […]

we bought a house!
We bought a house! The hopeful abode is ours! There’s something humbling about owning an 89 year old house. All that history … if only walls could speak. It was the baptist parsonage for 70+ years and I can only imagine how many prayers have been lifted up there. Makes my heart happy. I can […]
an interview with Charleston based artist Teil Duncan
Have you heard of Charleston based artist Teil Duncan? I discovered her on instagram via the new explore page and in an instant fell in love with her work. I love getting emails from readers letting me know something hit home with them, so I figured I’d do the same with Teil and let her […]
a tea for every mood
JB let me know as we packed up the house this last weekend that I have three boxes of tea. Not little boxes either. I’m nuts. I also have a lot of friends who know I love it and pretty much give it to me at every turn. I’m a one cup of coffee kind […]
BEST THING EVER // Sovereign Silver
JB calls most of my weird crunchy ways either voodoo or witchcraft. He’ll usually partake in whatever wackadoodle thing I swear by, but he lets his opinions be known. I say usually because that might all be stopping after I recently forced some apple cider vinegar down him … I think all trust is out […]
