Letters to Tucker // Volume 3
{a stephanie sterjovski print} Dear Tuck, I thought I was crazy for a few weeks when I was feeling you flutter around. But your dad and I were watching my belly this past weekend, and all of a sudden we saw what looked like an elbow jab. You poked us! Your dad got so excited. […]
Maternity Style
Truth be told I’m still not very big. Most of my clothes still fit. And my baby is even measuring big, every time. I think most people that see me out and about and don’t know, think I’ve been on a beer binge. But I had to cave and get a few cute maternity […]
Letter to Tuck // Volume 2
Dear Tuck, One of my best friends told me yesterday how good it was I am having a boy – because “the world needs more men like JB”. I agree with her, with 300% of my heart, little baby. Oh sweetness, you hit the jackpot getting him as a dad. My throat closes […]
if you really knew me …
i caved…! if y’all really knew me… you’d know I had never imagined myself having a boy. All of my real life friends know this, but it feels funny to admit it here. Maybe because I’m comfortable with girl stuff, and not at all with boy stuff. I secretly felt like the boy wouldn’t […]
Letters to Tuck
dear john bullock tucker IV aka “Tuck”, We decided on your name in one of our favorite places, Boca Grande. Your great grandfather was the first JBT, and everyone called him “Tuck”. All of the JBT’s have been/ are such remarkable men. What a legacy to have! I never got to meet Tuck, but […]
it’s a …
Y’all, it’s time to come clean. I’ve been hiding a little secret … I had to go in for a fetal echo due to my mended heart. {all was fine with babe + me} While there, my momma asked the nurse if he’d be able to tell us what exactly I was growing in there. […]

Retroactive Blog // 6-11 weeks
{via} I thought i’d do a little retroactive blogging. Some things I wrote down at different stages… you are six weeks today! sounds silly to say. Just a month and a half. If you haven’t heard me hundreds of times already, i love you. i pray for you in the shower, at my desk, in […]
tis true
Via Liene Stevens of Think Splendid // absolutely. but first you must ask. so what are you waiting for? happy weekend!
Highlands, NC
Highlands is a happy place for me. Growing up we’d head up the mountain for some relief from the summer heat, and once in college we took off there due to a hurricane. On our way up we stopped at the Dillard House. Oh my word, the best. They bring you endless fresh produce, veggies, […]
Overjoyed
Part of me does not want to share this whole truth, just the happy part, but the other side of me thinks it is important to share. A little freeing too. The part that doesn’t want to share is completely fear driven.  fear of someone judging me, someone saying something hurtful or insensitive, but I […]
photos to love
{yes you could land a space ship on that forehead! haha} cleaning out old comp folders and came across one entitled “photos to love”. they are indeed. i had put them through the cross process app when i was a bit i-illiterate. These are all from 2010. some from italy, austria, switzerland, france, amsterdam, england, […]

{photo courtesy of my cuz ben} there were mornings i thought you’d drive me crazy. my dad, a morning person. me, not at the time. you’d wake me up, throw the curtains back, and say “today’s the Lords day lulabelle!! rise and shine!” i shot him razor blades with my eyes. then i’d stumble […]
My Travel Style
{venice, italy} While the drop dead gorgeous Katie is gallivanting throughout Europe, I’ve hijacked her blog with a post on travel style. ch-ch-check it out (: Also, that post got me reminiscing… here’s a couple vid’s i made while over in europa. They make me smile so BIG. {disclaimer- i’m no videographer!}
husbands. you think you know everything about those guys.
when you’re married for a couple years, you think you know everything about your spouse. but there’s so much before I was in the picture. I get a kick out of watching his home vids, and going through photo albums. I think I know it all, or pretty close. not so. A couple of weeks […]
confession
{because every post needs a picture; hvar, croatia} a couple of months ago I stumbled on the show “what would you do” one less than riveting Friday evening. It places people in these situations where they are asked uncomfortable questions or they overhear things that cannot be ignored. And then records their reaction. You can’t […]
Kendall’s Annapolis Bachelorette
This past weekend I traveled to Annapolis, Maryland to celebrate one of my college BFF’s Bachelorette. All of her friends were so sweet, just like the bride herself is … we all got along famously. And they were even understanding of my inability to stay up past midnight. solid group of gals! Here is […]
Choosing Joy
{dress // necklace // shoes // } One time my mom and sister were wearing maxi dresses and walked into a Forever 21. There was a little boy there who gasped, and said “look mom! princesses!” (: i love them, maybe just for the princess vibe they give off, and as you’ve probably begun to […]

Before you read Amanda’s amazing post, I wanted to let everyone know that this series will indeed end! ha. This friday to be precise. I’ve had so many women tell me that they’d love to share in this series, so on Friday when I share my own lessons I’ll be putting up one of those […]
