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. […]
Father’s Day gift guide // JB’s favorites
The dads in my life are truly some of the kindest, most hard working, and loving ones out there. My wheels have been spinning on what to get all of them this year, and here are a few ideas // few things they are already a big fan of receiving. All of the men in […]
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 […]
motherhood
{their swim trunks // tucks shirt } Motherhood is constantly taking me by surprise. Showing me layers of who I am or who I’m meant to be. For one, I would never think I was going to be the disciplinarian in the house, but I am. Maybe that’s the role you have to take on […]
When Tuck Met Wesley
{my pjs // tucks big brother scrubs monogrammed by tinebowtique} Yesterday was truly the best day of mine and JB’s life. Wesley was born at 1:10am on April 10th – a birth story I can’t wait to write about. I never thought I’d be one of those people who really loved birth (always thought of […]
THREE
Tuck is three years old today! It seems crazy it’s been three years since I woke up in the middle of the night, took a bath because contractions were coming, woke JB up and headed to the hospital. His labor was hard, felt impossible at times, but then they put him in my arms. This […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
it is significant
{forever 21 top // paige jeans c/o lyon and post (a referral link) – a program where you try on AT HOME before you buy- pretty great for someone who doesn’t shop with little kids in tow! // hair barette from jcrew } Most of my days are spent in what feels like a million and one […]
momfessions
via As a first time mom I wondered all the time if I am doing it right. I felt really insecure. I still have moments that can sometimes turn into days where I’m pretty sure I’m doing it all wrong. The human condition? or just mine? I don’t know if it ever will be all […]
what i wish i was wearing: all white
Whenever I have a little tan going on (which is most definitely not at the moment) i’m always reaching for white. Even if it goes from clean to covered in stains in 2.2 seconds. Sadly, I can’t totally blame my kids on that one. (: {one – top – skirt // two // three // […]
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 […]
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 […]

out.back.
my favorite – fresh peppermint in piping hot water. Have been using the ergo in his infant insert lately to nurse if I need my hands free. He loves being curled up in the infant insert! I love spending our mornings and evenings in the backyard. Tuck is busy being verrrry busy – in his […]
My parents say I was a lot like content little Wes as a baby – and it tricked them into (thankfully!) going for four. Which is sorta what I hope our ending number is – four. Lord willing, of course. And who talks about another baby two weeks after having one? When you have a […]
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. […]

Waiting on Wesley … + links
Happy due date Wesley James! You can take your time … though just know there are many that can’t wait to meet you, and your daddy, your big brother, and I are at the top of that list. sooooo maybe don’t take too long (; I am already dilated and effaced – but really don’t […]
This week has been a whirlwind, an awfully long one too. I think I thought it was Friday every day of the week. My papaw went to be with Jesus on Monday morning. And I just got back home from Georgia. Much to my surprise my doctor gave me the OK to travel up to […]
