no better motivation for a clean house like company!
**this is a sponsored post** Last week we were knee deep in croup, thrush, and what seems to be a sinus infection (for me and JB). The reason for the mostly radio silence since then. We also had company in from Switzerland, and thankfully I was able to clean a bit before they got […]

Wesley and I were supposed to head to Panama yesterday morning. But baby got his first fever and turns out it is a nasty little virus. Last time we were there I was waddling down the aisle, eight months pregnant, as a bridesmaid and JB as a groomsman. I met Haley at our rehearsal dinner […]
Born for this Box: the perfect gift for an expecting or new mother
I am a big fan of Mommy Mail Box! I get super excited when I spy it in our mailbox. I love how it has a different curator each month. The curator always picks out items intentionally. It’s a really nice and always stylish pick me up! Their limited boxes have become a […]
three little home updates
we added these botanical prints in our breakfast nook (they are from joss and main, though I haven’t spotted them lately- will let you know if I do). It’s crazy how much homier our house feels. It’s so hard for me to commit to artwork but I love how this turned out. we switched […]
somebody hold me
we dropped off tuck at the school he’ll be going to in January two mornings a week. It’s just a day to shadow, see what it’s like, and get tested. I know he’s there right now loving it and he’s well taken care of, but I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have […]
the fire chief and his pup
photo cred: tuck I made a (cute) mistake and showed Tuck his costume on Monday when Halloween was on Saturday. Tuck wore it EVERY.WHERE beginning that moment. It was especially funny when we visited JB’s new office. The one where he pulled the fire alarm the week JB was moving in. Insert big toothy […]
Bachelorette Goodie Bag
My super thoughtful sister is away in Charleston this weekend celebrating her lifelong best friends bachelorette! These bags she put together, as the maid of honor, are just the cutest. I had to take some photos of it in case anyone needs ideas (: Most of the treats were purchased at Target. […]

Baby Wearing Faves
I didn’t know baby wearing was a thing before I had kids. Isn’t it just something you do so your baby (if she or he likes it) stays calm, you can get some things done, and you can get out easily. It isn’t a dividing line! I would have loved if Tuck was into the […]
a summer salad + a leftover recipe
Since it’s a rare quiet morning in our house – Tuck is sleeping in? Wesley has already been up and is down for his first nap, I thought I’d share our dinner last night. We had my mother in law’s birthday dinner here yesterday. I love that we use the formal dining room so much, […]

Favorite Travel Experiences
When I was reading Amanda’s post (she’s moving to Croatia!!) where she asked for suggestions within Europe it got me thinking of my favorite spots. Then during nap time I went through my blogs travel page and it got me smiling, and thinking … it is sometimes about how beautiful a place is but most […]
tuckers lately + links
Honeyami blanket Tuck loves the fresh laundry right out of the dryer. My dad always used to pour it on me, and I would snuggle down. keeping that tradition (: The little giraffe bear towel is wesleys but tuck has since taken it for his own and loves to rawr around the house with it. […]
fall in florida
Yesterday was Wesley’s first time really experiencing the sand between his toes and hands. He loved it and there was only one attempt at putting it in his mouth. The rest of the time was spent, as usual – tuck chasing seagulls (except he calls them eagles), and us chasing tuck. There are no […]
family vacation: riviera nayarit, mexico
Last week we returned from six beautiful days in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico at the Grand Velas with my little family and in laws. We feel so grateful they came along – it helped us out so much but it was also just a special time for all of us to be together . Of course […]
a happy fourth
{tucks board shorts – now only $20! c/o // rash guard } Hope you all had a fun fourth! We had a nice long weekend thank to the market being closed on Friday. We had a fourth of July party at our house last year since you can watch the fireworks from our little dock, but […]
Sweet little Wesley at six weeks with Jessica Lorren
Sorry for the copious amounts of photos!! I just couldn’t love these any more. Big thanks to Jess for capturing our family in this tender time, and major props as Tuck only sits still for a millisecond. And I promise I’ll be back to blogging soon … after Wesley’s sip&see, that’s turned into a really […]
the littlest daddy
the best part of waking up… i sincerely can’t. (glasses are from amazon ) I wrote a bit about this on instagram but wanted to write here as well. For posterity, I guess. And if future-Wesley you ever doubt how much your brother loved you, right from the start – here’s some proof. I’ve been […]
One Month with Wesley
I’m behind, which is the theme of my life right now so bear with me. But better late than never. Wesley at one month! It’s been so much fun seeing you come alive; eyes more alert, smiles, coos… I eat it all up. You are still a sleepy head but are beginning not to tolerate […]
Life Lately: in between snuggles
Just some randomness from a sleep deprived, happy mama … Things that have been different this time around… For one thing, it’s been nice not having to go back to work right away. I was literally working the week after Tuck was born, which is slightly crazy of me, but was necessary at the time. […]
perspective on what makes you “rich”
{Heather made this PDF for JB’s new office. We blew it up and used Frame Bridge (which was awesome!} This is what Ted Jones said when he was asked why he didn’t take Edward Jones public and become one of the richest men in america overnight. Gives me chills every time I read it. and okay, […]
my compassionate two year old
The other day we were at the bounce house (it’s so hot, and you have to get out all that energy somewhere. I’ve even resorted to chuck-e-cheese lately) and Tuck saw a little girl crying in the corner. He sat next to her, put his arm around her and told her it was okay. The […]
