when your girlfriend comes to town
{at mote marine in TBBC and native shoes on wes} Oh gosh how I love when they come into town. JB kindly offered to watch the three kiddos so we could go out to dinner one night together. I’m not sure we even remembered what a non-kid interrupted dinner, just the two ofus was like. But we sure enjoyed it!! […]

Me too
{sign c/o the dwelling space} One of the things that stuck out to me when I was listening to Brene Brown’s The Power of Vulnerability was the way she talks about this one scenario with her daughter. Her daughter comes home from middle school and no one sat with her for lunch. Brene has to […]
Ten IKEA items I’m loving
I love Ikea. I get incredibly excited when we go. I could spend days in here, and still feel like I need to see more. The first time I went to one was when we were living in Switzerland. From then on, I was hooked! Once we were back in the states, we bought our first couch […]

al fresco dining and the play house
It may not look like much more than some grass but this was a huge dirt pit when we first moved in! Our neighbors said they had put sod down a few times, and it never stuck. So we tested our soil, asked some experts on timing and type of grass that would be best […]

We’re in a tropical storm, which to be honest, I love. Maybe because we haven’t had much rain so I haven’t gone through all the rainy day activities. I love these cozy days. It looks like it’s 8pm out, and it’s absolutely pouring. Not much to do but snuggle up and watch a […]
Life in May via my phone
Tomorrow it’s June! What?! I thought I’d do a little recap of the month, via pictures found on my phone. We started the month off with some boating. We borrowed my in-laws boat (the boat we always use), and tied it up at our dock which was so much fun that weekend. We just hopped […]

It’s been one month since my sister and I split Rent the Runway Unlimited. Though after the first shipment she had (it was for a wedding weekend), we both decided we wanted our own due to having a couple events come up for both of us. It’s $140, so it’s not cheap – though […]

praise for ordinary days
from yesterday… There’s laundry I should be doing, and a playroom that looks like a bomb dropped. But I’m writing instead because two babies are down, and I’m a little giddy over this ordinary day. Nothing out of the usual happened. The morning was quiet. After Wesley’s nap, we picked up gifts for Tucks teachers for teacher […]
