Le Petit Bebe Tuck’s Shower

I wanted to share some Instagrams before the real photos of Tucks Baby Shower.   How about that dress?!  Made by Camilyn Beth. And the adorable paper products?!  A paper collabo between Paper Please and Grasshoppers & Gardenias.  The whole day was just perfect.  The hostesses made me (and Tuck) feel incredibly special.   So […]

Birthday Wish List

  Any december babies out there?  My birthday is around the corner … December 17th to be exact! JB and my family keep asking what I want… and I’m always kinda stumped.  I say practical things  like new sneakers, eye glasses, and wallets.   But who says practical can’t be pretty?   And a few extra impractical […]

As promised, a further glimpse inside the Palace in Panama.  This place dripped in mother of pearl, chandeliers, and gold.  Which made me pleased as punch!  enjoy.

Godspeed Little Man // Letters to Tuck // Vol 11

via emma j design Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) (Album Version) by Dixie Chicks on Grooveshark  Hi Tuck, Last week I finally felt every kind of zen about being pregnant.  Oh sure the morning sickness has still been around, but I felt beautiful in this pregnant skin.  Then last Thursday I started having trouble walking.  Which is […]

Pregnant in Heels.

Letters to Tuck: Volume 10

pixie pants // i phone case // similar shirt Hi Tuck, Yesterday was Halloween and it made me SO over the moon excited for next year. There was a little lion boy who twick or tweated us last night and my heart turned into a puddle on the floor.  Oh my laws, what you‘re gonna […]

Florida Living // Fall Weekend

Yesterday for lunch we went to Starfish Company. It has recently been in Southern Living and Travel & Leisure as one of the best seafood restaurants in the US. It’s been my favorite for ages.  They serve you in boxes, and you are surrounded by mullet boats, crabbers, and fishermen coming in with today’s catch. […]

My Regimens

People have been asking about my beauty regimen for a while on formspring.  And I’m always like, suuuuuure thing, I’ll get you that post!  But I never do.   Mostly because I’m flabbergasted that someone wants to know what shampoo I buy or make up I wear.  I think, I must do a pretty good job […]

The one and only political post … probably ever.

I majored in Political Science in undergrad.  Thanks in part to a really cute prof … and the philosophy side of class.    But mostly due to the cute teacher.  {hides head in embarrassment}.  Besides being handsome he was also the kind of professor who forced you to make your own decisions about politics and […]

An Admission

        It’s been a year since we hung up our ex-pat hats.  Sometimes honestly, I miss it.   which is why you got one million photos of 2010/2011 in this post.   When we first moved over there, I remember thinking, holy moly… I have no job!  I am a housewife, with […]

Letters to Tuck: Volume 9

Tuck, I talk to you all of the time now.  I’m all guess what you’re going to do in this big world one day.  Your Nina (grandma) had a dream she was chatting with you a few nights ago.  She’s the one with the thick southern accent.  She told you all about your dad and […]

Letters to Tuck: Volume 8

{dress c/o PB&J boutique} Dear Tuck, I’m getting a little anxious to meet you.  You’ve been cooking in there for seven months now!  I just want to see what you’re like, who you favor, if you have your diddy’s eyes, and plant a million kisses on those lips.  But at the same time, I know […]
