I can’t believe I’ve had this new website (can I still call it new?) and blog for a year. A year of my mom and a few other people reading what I write and I am SO GRATEFUL. This blog is a space to share what makes my heart happy, what I find fun and […]

Thanksgiving this year was spent beach side – again (See last year’s trip to Myrtle Beach here!). And I’m SO grateful. I love hearing the waves crash, smelling the salt air and munching on pies + turkey. We visited Virginia Beach this year because my sister + aunt live down there. We had a wonderful […]

Hello everyone! I am the second voice to Kristina’s segment, Wine About It. She asked if I wanted to write a post on my own, and I could not wait to get started! I thought I would go ahead and share some things about me and my wine journey so far. I also have a […]

One of the things I’m most excited for throughout this blog series is that Danielle + I get to go taste wine and call it work. I mean, seriously. How wonderful is that?! We’ve been kind of slow at hitting the wineries but personally, I think we’re hitting the right time of year to actually […]

I’ve thought about writing this post for awhile now but I’ve waited and re-written it because, you guessed it, it wasn’t perfect. It didn’t seem right. The words weren’t flowing the way I thought they should. And that, ladies + gentlemen, is exactly why I’m writing this after all. It’s why I’m posting this blog […]

Happy birthday, Ryan! I can’t believe another year has gone by + we’re celebrating another one of your birthdays together! What a year it’s been for you! You finished your first full year at the new school, coached another great basketball team, we bought the house, brought Shelby home, took our first cruise, celebrated, laughed […]

I’m thrilled to get to share these images with you! Jonathan and I had so much fun exploring downtown Fredericksburg VA to gather images for his fall look book video! The look book is a great chance to share some of the fall trends, colors + exciting new outfits for the season. I absolutely love […]

You might not know this about how I run my business, but I sit down every month and plan out all the blog posts I’m going to be writing into my calendar. It’s not a perfect or hard fast system – things change, sessions come up, real life happens. But this post has been on my […]

My sister-in-law, Brittany, and I had joked back and forth about running a half marathon together for awhile (she’s a much better and more serious runner than I am so most of the joking was probably on my side honestly but either way it was fun). I’d signed up for races before (much shorter ones) […]

While my niece was visiting in the spring, I captured a few pictures of her and one of our boys, TOC. Savannah was just infatuated with the cat, running up and down our stairs telling us “I want a meow” and watching our boys lay around. TOC is a weird cat – he LOVES water […]
