This post contains affiliate links + gifted items. Happy holidays, y’all! I have taken this holiday season to really be present in the moment and soak in time with family. We had a very merry Christmas (other than Gizmo temporarily going MIA), and I hope you did as well. My friend Courtney from Kentucky Girl Ramblings snapped some Christmas family photos for us earlier this month for our Christmas cards, which were sent out at the eleventh hour. It’s been so long since I shared a blog post (TOO LONG!), so I wanted to be sure to share these beautiful photos with you. MOM OUTFIT: Puffy sleeve p ..read more

This post contains affiliate links + gifted items. First thing’s first: do you call these shoes sneakers or tennis shoes? I grew up calling them tennis shoes, but tend to refer to them as sneakers sometimes now. They’re back in a big way this year, and they literally go with everything. The hottest way to wear sneakers right now, though, is definitely with a dress. fall t-shirt dress–on MAJOR sale // white start sneakers // Tory Burch plaid bucket bag (crossbody version) // smiley face necklace // Kendra Scott beaded hoops c/o // square gold sunnies I love a good t-shirt dress, as ..read more

This post contains affiliate links + gifted items. Hi, friends! Yesterday was the first day of the Lilly Pulitzer Sunshine Sale, which was formerly know as the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale. Like the APS, the end of summer/fall Sunshine Sale is a two day event, so you can still shop it all day today. This is a great time to snap up some Lilly Pulitzer pieces at excellent price points (for the most part). I thought it would be fun to do a Wardrobe Re-Wear post showing TWO OUTFITS featuring the Gigi Ruffle Tank, and I’m sharing both looks today. BOTH LOOKS: Lilly Pulitzer Gigi ..read more

This post contains affiliate link + gifted items. Hi, friends! I just haven’t been able to get back into the habit of consistently blogging, but I’m working on it.

Travel Guide: Overnight Stay in Asheville, NC

Last month, we went on an anniversary trip without the kids. On our way down to Charleston, we stopped in one of our favorite places, Asheville, NC. Asheville is a town nestled in the mountains that’s famous for the Biltmore residence. The downtown area itself is thriving–there’s lots of places to stay and eat, and things to do and see. We actually did one night of our babymoon there 3.5 years ago (including a candlelight tour of the Biltmore). While we’ve stopped to eat there a couple of times when traveling, we hadn’t spent the night since then. Our trip was very last minute, so we went wit ..read more

This post contains affiliate links + gifted items. Happy Monday, friends! Y’all, I’ve had this post drafted and sitting in my inbox for three and a half weeks now. For some reason, I just couldn’t hit publish. It’s like I had some weird writer’s block going on. Quite honestly, it seems like the world has shifted again in the past month with more things returning to normal, and I’ve just felt weird. After the last year and a half, the shift back to a more normal life has me feeling off-kilter. Just as it was weird going into the pandemic, it’s also weird as we start to emerge here in the U.S ..read more
