we bought a house!
We bought a house! The hopeful abode is ours! There’s something humbling about owning an 89 year old house. All that history … if only walls could speak. It was the baptist parsonage for 70+ years and I can only imagine how many prayers have been lifted up there. Makes my heart happy. I can […]
an interview with Charleston based artist Teil Duncan
Have you heard of Charleston based artist Teil Duncan? I discovered her on instagram via the new explore page and in an instant fell in love with her work. I love getting emails from readers letting me know something hit home with them, so I figured I’d do the same with Teil and let her […]
a tea for every mood
JB let me know as we packed up the house this last weekend that I have three boxes of tea. Not little boxes either. I’m nuts. I also have a lot of friends who know I love it and pretty much give it to me at every turn. I’m a one cup of coffee kind […]
BEST THING EVER // Sovereign Silver
JB calls most of my weird crunchy ways either voodoo or witchcraft. He’ll usually partake in whatever wackadoodle thing I swear by, but he lets his opinions be known. I say usually because that might all be stopping after I recently forced some apple cider vinegar down him … I think all trust is out […]

Here are some father’s day gift ideas – inspired by what’s been a hit with the fellas in my life. big hugs to all the dads out there! 1. J.crew’s monogram shop. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again – it’s a great gift. My dad wears his polo all of the time! 2. […]
summer bucket list
You may not keep up with the bachelorette like I do (guilty pleasure- hides head in shame) and maybe it sounds cheesy but it’s true- I have been touched by one of this years contestants, Eric. He passed away this year but left an incredible legacy behind him. I found myself sobbing over all he […]
lighting for every budget
1. circa lighting – the hicks pendant! My dream lighting for our little bistro area. But at $750, it probably won’t happen for a while. slash ever. 2. I love this country industrial pendant at $555 – looks better in the room photo they show! 3. Another beautiful hicks pendant for $482. this […]

KIND granola // four ways
I love KIND products; for all the amazing stuff they have inside (packed with omega 3’s and ingredients you can pronounce). Also because it’s healthy and tasty! A feat that can be tough to master but KIND has. The bars are always never far from me on wedding days – whether one is for […]
Boca Grande Library + our top books at the moment
{tunic – 25% off with code : ONSAVENOW // bathing suit // old anthropology // sunnies old anthropologie but this seasons current version} I love libraries.

cleaning up my make up drawer
Read more about why you want to avoid these here. So I basically kiss Tuck (and JB!) a thousand times a day. Which means I’m rubbing whatever I’ve slathered and powdered on, all over their innocent little faces. There are so many areas of my life I have no problem giving up to be […]
Memorial Day // Father’s day breakfast idea #cookingwithkohls
We love trifles around here. JB made one for mother’s day brunch in my big trifle bowl along with the yummiest quiche I’ve ever tasted. But I love these mini personal trifle bowls for when you don’t need to make but a couple servings. If we’re using them as dessert, I make homemade whip cream […]

sun savvy
{rash guard body suit c/o cabana life // salt water sandals // loving this inexpensive but safe sunscreen lately for my squirmy toddler } May marks skin cancer awareness month and boy do I always need the reminder.

It’s official Charleston is the prettiest city in the states! Morgan and I let our true momma roots shine by being in bed by 9pm every night. {more girl talk, but while in our comfies} She has more of an excuse as she’s pregnant + has a toddler, but I actually had no excuse […]
#daretomix // Furbish Studio
I’m sure you’ve perused around Furbish Studio online but I got to go to one of their pop up shops and let me tell you – every bit of it is just as fun as you’d imagine. Morgan and I were both like kids in a candy store. As much as I love beige and […]
