Mother’s Day Weekend
{and some iphone snaps…} I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day weekend! Last year Tuck was hit by the stomach bug and I started that Mother’s Day being thrown up on… but what’s more of true “motherhood” than that! Thankfully everyone was feeling good this year. We had a date night on Friday, […]

eight years.
Eight years ago today I had open heart surgery. It was a long recovery road, and not the last of the surgeries I would have or even the worst. But it still marks a big day for me. It reminds me to be grateful of this life and makes my current problems seem small. Today […]

Nursing favorites
**affiliate links are used in this post** Wes will be one next month! That’ll also mark a year of nursing for this little guy and I see no signs of him wanting to wean. Selfishly I also hope weaning doesn’t happen soon because I remember the hormone drop last time with tuck, and it gave […]
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 […]
Joovy Scooter x2 review
We are big joovy fans around here! We’ve bought and loved the spoon walker (the best looking walker out there), the caboose (see it in action in Rome), wesley’s bike helmet , and the trycoo (wes loves getting pushed in this around the neighborhood). So I was excited when Joovy sent us the Scooter x2 to review. Tuck liked the […]

I’m loving all of the stylish UPF clothing popping up. Even Lilly Pulitzer has a dress now! UPF clothing is perfect for on the boat, or at the beach or pool. Or just for running errands in a climate like mine. I wear sunscreen every day, all over, but I love the peace of mind […]
a couple things to know if you are considering buying an old house
just a little outdoor baby yoga (: I’ve always had romantic notions about old houses. It must come from old Missisippi roots, and growing up totally in awe of the houses in my mothers hometown. Now that we are going on two years of living in one, I can be less romantic and more realistic. […]

mom uniform volume 1
I’ve been so inspired by Natalie Borton’s “Legit Mom Style” series, that I thought it could be fun to do one of my own. I’ve mentioned before how I’ve struggled to rediscover my style since having Wesley. It’s hard to find things that are appropriate for errands, school pick up, playdates… mom life. For this […]
habits
a packed diaper (fawn design) bag for on the go with two! The transition from working for myself to being a stay at home mom, was a funny one at first. If I’m honest there are parts about working I miss. My initial reaction when people ask me if I miss it is always […]

three little {financial} things I wish I had done sooner
