towels and photographs and our wedding.

 via emily mccarthy I lost someone dear to my family around the holidays.  A drunk driver struck and killed the B man, his wife, and her parents.  In one swoop, on Christmas Eve.  My brother did the courageous thing and did the eulogy.   While I broke down and wailed with my face covered in […]

the night he was born.

Close your eyes Have no fear The monster’s gone  He’s on the run and your daddy’s here Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy   Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy Before you go to sleep Say a little prayer   Every day in every way It’s getting better and better Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Beautiful boy   Beautiful, […]

Laundry on a Sunday // method

You know that dream i’m working on … well, in that dream my laundry room looks like this.  And in that very same dream I don’t have to lug heavy detergent up and down five flights of stairs (hello first apartment in Switzerland) or three flights (hello second apartment in switzerland) or even carry a […]

Traveling with Baby

what i wore: I generally wear the same outfit for travel, with some variation.  Comfy jeans or pixie pants from j.crew, a cardigan, a button down tank (so i could nurse) a scarf, this time a hat so I wouldn’t have to do my hair, and some slide on and off flip flops.  If it’s […]

Mexico // family vacation

It would have been pretty repetitive if I posted photos from each day.   Since each day was pretty much – room service and beach/pool time.  JB did go Sailfishing one day!  And I had a spa morning….second to none i tell ya.  But other than that, relaxing was pretty much par for every day. So […]

Checking in from Mexico

I thought I’d check in with y’all to let you know we made it. I was more nervous than maybe ever as the plane took off, but you know what? Tuck was an angel. Relieved passengers were impressed. And I was too! We will see .. I could be eating those words come Saturday. But […]

Crazy over Coral

Suit // purse // shoes // dress Like clockwork, spring rolls around and I gravitate toward coral.  And shades of turquoise. Always.  I’m a fan of every darned shade of coral, but my fave is the peachy pinky shade.  I’d probably wear a garbage bag in the shape of a dress if it were this […]

Five Things

After reading Liz‘s Five things, I thought I’d join in too. via jessica lorren organic photography Five things about Moi.  {1} I have come to love imperfection.  Things that feel or look too shiny/perfect feel like a big charade to me now.  In design, in dressing and just in life in general.  This has helped […]

sweet little weekend

in his urban baby bonnet the doc told us to stay in for two months due to the flu.   you didn’t have to ask me twice! I’ve loved our weekends at home, filled with snuggles.  and more snuggles.  we ventured out a bit this weekend though… to lunch and babiesRus.   JB mentioned how […]

Five years

tuck at two months

  Dear Tuck at Two Months, Sometimes I look at you and I honestly feel like I’m inside a dream for a split second. You are perfect.  You are hilarious.  You are Gods child.    And we are abundantly blessed. We Love you!   ps: I’m mostly sleep deprived these days.  Which I thought would be the […]

my life as a working mama // the dream i’m working on

I am thankful to do work that I love.  Grateful for the couples I get to know through the process of planning their weddings.  One thing I’m glad I’m not is short sided.  When I started this journey a little over a year ago, I’m sure it looked asinine to many.  But I started this […]

Tuck at Two Months // Survival Guide

  1.  The swaddle me blankets aren’t quite cutting it anymore.  Boyfriend is growing.  These muslin swaddle blankets are the best.  They’re pricey but truly a couple notches above the rest. 2.  Whale Tub.  Tuck loves his bath.  Just like somebody we know …. (:  I love the way it supports his neck and lets […]

March 6th, 2012

Last year, I wrote this post about my surgeries. About Gods unfailing love and compassion.  That His plans are the absolute best ones.   at all times. I wrote that in the morning on the 5th of March, 2012.  The next day I miscarried our first child.  And I didn’t get out of bed.  couldn’t.  […]

Onto Mexico … with a baby!

We are headed to Mexico at the end of the month!   It’s one of two big trips we’ll take this year courtesy of JB’s company {+ him working his tail off}. I’m a little uneasy about flying with an almost three month old, but we’re doin it!   Once we’re there I’m not sure I will […]

the first seven weeks

  {via SS print shop} Tucks First Seven Weeks from sarah tucker on Vimeo.  time seems to be moving at a pace I am not familiar with.  I’d stop time dead in its tracks if I could.  every single day he gets more aware, increasingly curious of the world around him.  and cuter too, though […]

Tuck Grins

February.  Oy Vey! you’ve been one crazy month. I fell down stairs (among my greatest fears // won’t even attempt the spanish steps) and messed up my tailbone.  ouch! JB was out of town for work on Valentine’s Day.  Corporate America ain’t got time for that. JB turned 31.  And i usually celebrate his birth […]

post partum style

oh the post partum body.  i was so curious about how my body would change.  curious/freaked out.  I didn’t think much of it until a week or so before he was born though.  then it was all, let me mourn the loss of my youth.  ha.  a little too late for a freak out.  And […]

heartbreaker

Talking to your baby isn’t quite like talking to yourself, right?  Right??? I mean he can’t really talk back.  So does that make me crazy?  I’m not sure. I’ve been doing this weird thing talking to him already about girls. The worst is when we watch the Bachelor.  I’m all… see that girl!  No.  Don’t […]

Happy One Month Tuck!

{fish made by Pam, onesie, and bowtie from my BFF ashie!} Happy One Month Little Man! I used to look at my parents and not completely understand how they felt toward us. What would cause you to be so patient, understanding, loving, towards someone who could be so hard to love at times?  But one […]

A note to Tuck:
