The one and only political post … probably ever.
I majored in Political Science in undergrad. Thanks in part to a really cute prof … and the philosophy side of class. But mostly due to the cute teacher. {hides head in embarrassment}. Besides being handsome he was also the kind of professor who forced you to make your own decisions about politics and […]
An Admission
It’s been a year since we hung up our ex-pat hats. Sometimes honestly, I miss it. which is why you got one million photos of 2010/2011 in this post. When we first moved over there, I remember thinking, holy moly… I have no job! I am a housewife, with […]
Letters to Tuck: Volume 9
Tuck, I talk to you all of the time now. I’m all guess what you’re going to do in this big world one day. Your Nina (grandma) had a dream she was chatting with you a few nights ago. She’s the one with the thick southern accent. She told you all about your dad and […]

Love Letter to my (busted) husband
{this photo was cropped and clearly doesn’t reflect the original image by the very talented Gabe Aceves & ps: if you’re getting married in DC – you should hire him. sarah seal of approval, y’all!} Clearly someone was caught redhanded checking out his wifeys booty. And that somebody was my husband. It’s nice to know […]

Nothing you really like is ever out of style.
There’s a few things that have been part of my wardrobe for ages and there’s no end in sight. To name a couple of these I’ll include touches of lace, stripes, leopard, maxi’s, polka dots, riding boots, anything that’ll define a waist, tortoise, and chic pencil thin black pants. In doses, all of these things […]

{Via Juliet Jones} Dear Tuck, Your dad and I have been kinda adventurous since we met. We dated long distance until we married! Trips were in order then. To Texas, Mississippi, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mexico, Louisiana, Grand Cayman, etc… pretty much wherever I could catch your dad while he was playing ball. Then we married […]
Letters to Tuck: Volume 6
{Print by Oh My Deer Handmades} Dear Tuck, The above color is my favorite. If my soul had a color, that’d be it. And those words, well that’s pretty much all I can muster without becoming a crying fool when I think about how much I love you. I’ve been thinking about what your […]
10 Gentle Reminders
I made this a while back when I found it in my Kate Spade Etiquette Book. Something I need to actually print out, and read often. Especially today.
Healthy Baby
I’m on the granola side of things. I clean with baking soda and vinegar, take my veggies organic, and am one of those people who use natural deodorant (thankfully I’m not a sweaty person, otherwise it could get … interesting). I can honestly say I’ve been a pretty relaxed pregnant person. I’ve been careful […]
Letters to Tuck: Volume 5
{both dresses are tibi via rent the runway} My sweet Tuck, You visited Virginia this weekend. Your second time! Already a little traveler, you little thing.

Rhode Island
{wearing sheridan french, paige denim, and target loafers} Rhode Island, I did not expect you to be so drop dead gorgeous. I can see why you’re the ocean state. You smell like salt air and If I could bottle yours up I would. Also if I could just have one more of your […]
Letters to Tuck : Volume 4
Dear Tuck, First of all, I’m quite intrigued by you scratching your nose with your toes yesterday. My little acrobat. You made us all giggle yesterday. The doctor told us you look excellent and that your ticker isn’t like mine. what a relief. I was found crying happy tears at random times yesterday. Every […]
Oh the ocean
{my in laws back yard} {lake como} {Croatia} Washed By The Water LIVE by NEEDTOBREATHE on Grooveshark There’s nothing more peaceful to me than the ocean.

Letters to Tucker // Volume 3
{a stephanie sterjovski print} Dear Tuck, I thought I was crazy for a few weeks when I was feeling you flutter around. But your dad and I were watching my belly this past weekend, and all of a sudden we saw what looked like an elbow jab. You poked us! Your dad got so excited. […]
Maternity Style
Truth be told I’m still not very big. Most of my clothes still fit. And my baby is even measuring big, every time. I think most people that see me out and about and don’t know, think I’ve been on a beer binge. But I had to cave and get a few cute maternity […]
Letter to Tuck // Volume 2
Dear Tuck, One of my best friends told me yesterday how good it was I am having a boy – because “the world needs more men like JB”. I agree with her, with 300% of my heart, little baby. Oh sweetness, you hit the jackpot getting him as a dad. My throat closes […]
if you really knew me …
i caved…! if y’all really knew me… you’d know I had never imagined myself having a boy. All of my real life friends know this, but it feels funny to admit it here. Maybe because I’m comfortable with girl stuff, and not at all with boy stuff. I secretly felt like the boy wouldn’t […]

Y’all, it’s time to come clean. I’ve been hiding a little secret … I had to go in for a fetal echo due to my mended heart. {all was fine with babe + me} While there, my momma asked the nurse if he’d be able to tell us what exactly I was growing in there. […]
