Tuck’s Nursery Tour
This room was a fun project to put together over the course of my pregnancy. I found out Tuck was a boy early on (15 weeks). Tossed all of my ideas about a girly french room right out the window, and started thinking about boy […]

bloggers i adore // day 5 of the challenge
Day 5 of the challenge. A blogger you adore. One to publicly confess your love to! How about three (: When I thought about this topic, many came to mind. But three stuck out. Three that I wanted to introduce to you. And I got to thinking to myself. Why these three? This might […]

{via jessica lorren} {participating, albeit a few days behind, in Jenni’s blog every day in may challenge} I was born in the early hours of the 17th of december in 1983, with eyes always a little too big for my head. The third of my parents four children. My mom’s “easiest” child; as I took […]
A note to Crissy // new mamas

Sunday Beach Day with Tuck
some days, you’d like to just put on repeat. yesterday was one of those. we loaded up, and headed fifteen minutes to my favorite spot on the beach. napped under umbrellas, took some strolls along the water, and played in the waves. tuck stopped traffic as usual. with every lady walking by wanting a look […]

if i got what i wanted at 21, i’d be miserable today.
yesterday i posted a bit of my heart on instagram and twitter. i said: it was aimed for a girl who wrote me yesterday who is heart broken. you might know the kind. all you can think about is this person. it’s hard to move on. it feels impossible. it feels like that for […]

Lately I am loving …
1. These sandals! I’m addicted. and they’re 16 big ones. They’re pretty comfy to me too. 2. These eye glasses. So I loooove warby parker. I bought my first pair in 2010. And after ordering the 5 free try on’s this one is the winner. I LOVE. 3. A vegan leather skirt. I adore anything […]

Little man’s best friend
Let me tell you when I was pregnant, I was so worried about Lola. Lola is half way crazy. It is a fact. Now I get that she’s still a puppy, but homegirl is straight cray! There’s likely no growing out of that. And really over protective. She thinks she’s a pitbull on steroids […]
Letters to Tuck // Look for the Helpers
via I have a book of Mr. Roger’s quotes that I’ve owned and treasured for years. I grew up like a lot of y’all I’m sure, watching my fair share of Mr. Rogers. I read this in that book a few weeks before tuck was born. I’ve always thought: how do you explain evil […]
my weekend and a story of sleep deprivation
This weekend was filled with lunches out aside the sea, special visitors, strolls, a dip in the pool, a meeting of epic proportions and the realization that i have crows feet. bad. ha. I’ve been feeling pretty good lately, dealing with sleep deprivation fairly well. but last night […]
towels and photographs and our wedding.
via emily mccarthy I lost someone dear to my family around the holidays. A drunk driver struck and killed the B man, his wife, and her parents. In one swoop, on Christmas Eve. My brother did the courageous thing and did the eulogy. While I broke down and wailed with my face covered in […]

Laundry on a Sunday // method
You know that dream i’m working on … well, in that dream my laundry room looks like this. And in that very same dream I don’t have to lug heavy detergent up and down five flights of stairs (hello first apartment in Switzerland) or three flights (hello second apartment in switzerland) or even carry a […]
Traveling with Baby
what i wore: I generally wear the same outfit for travel, with some variation. Comfy jeans or pixie pants from j.crew, a cardigan, a button down tank (so i could nurse) a scarf, this time a hat so I wouldn’t have to do my hair, and some slide on and off flip flops. If it’s […]
Mexico // family vacation
It would have been pretty repetitive if I posted photos from each day. Since each day was pretty much – room service and beach/pool time. JB did go Sailfishing one day! And I had a spa morning….second to none i tell ya. But other than that, relaxing was pretty much par for every day. So […]
Checking in from Mexico
I thought I’d check in with y’all to let you know we made it. I was more nervous than maybe ever as the plane took off, but you know what? Tuck was an angel. Relieved passengers were impressed. And I was too! We will see .. I could be eating those words come Saturday. But […]
Crazy over Coral
Suit // purse // shoes // dress Like clockwork, spring rolls around and I gravitate toward coral. And shades of turquoise. Always. I’m a fan of every darned shade of coral, but my fave is the peachy pinky shade. I’d probably wear a garbage bag in the shape of a dress if it were this […]
