Last weekend we had friends over for a Masters party to watch the golf tournament together, eat delicious food and sip festive cocktails. The Masters is an invitational event and the first major golf tournament of the year so there is always so much excitement around it. It also has a number of traditions that make it fun, most notably the distinctive green jacket! A few snippets from our Masters Sunday… HOLE-IN-ONE DOOR HANGER Masters Party Decor Y’all know how much Matt and I love a party theme, but we especially love a golf theme ..read more

If you’re looking to shine up your jewelry, I’ve got a simple homemade ring cleaner recipe that is highly effective and will have your diamonds sparkling. With this cleaning method you can skip the trip to the jeweler for cleaning and instead use this simple homemade ring cleaner solution and an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. My favorite time to use this ring cleaner solution is right when we return home from a beach trip to remove all the sunscreen residue from every nook and cranny of my rings ..read more

Happy Friday! It’s been a mostly rainy but great week. It was so cool to watch the solar eclipse on Monday! While Charlotte was not in the path of totality, it was still a fun experience seeing it at 80%’ish — especially since the next one isn’t expected until August 2044!! Matt and I watched the last one together in 2017 and what a throwback it was to revisit this post ..read more

We had an amazing Spring Break down in Amelia Island, Florida! This was our 5th year staying at the Omni Amelia Island resort and it was just as lovely as always. A few pics from our trip… Caroline’s Straw Hat + Bikini + Pants + Slides While we did squeeze in some beach time, the pool at this resort is really fantastic and is usually where the kids want to spend most of the time which we didn’t mind because the vibe, food, and drinks are just so good ..read more

It’s Good Friday! As we enter into the weekend I am filled with gratitude and am reminded to slow down and savor the blessings all around me while the kids tear through their Easter baskets, eat chocolate for breakfast, hunt down eggs, get dressed in our Sunday best, and feast with family. Today also kicks off Spring Break! So in addition to stuffing baskets and eggs, Matt and I are also getting our family ready for a few days at the beach — stocking up on snacks, grabbing sunscreen, taking Mabel to her grandparents house and more ..read more

A few weekends ago I tortured my kids by making them try on all the swimsuits in their drawers to see which ones fit. Thankfully each kid had a small pile of reusable swimwear so I only needed to grab each kid a few for their Easter baskets this year! While scouring the internet I came across some suuuuper cute swimwear! Here are a few finds across a variety of retailers. Swimwear for Boys Swimwear for Girls ..read more

I wanted to share the floral tablescape I recently created for Supper Club! As someone who loves throwing dinner parties, I’ve learned that setting a beautiful table is key to making any occasion feel extra special. This colorful table setting was so fun and easy to put together and would be perfect for spring or summer dinner parties, an Easter or Mother’s Day brunch, a bridal or baby shower, and more.

Happy Friday! We’ve had a packed and exciting week! I mentioned last week that I was going to attempt sourdough bread — and I made my first loaf this week! It was an overwhelming experience if I’m being honest, but I’m really excited to perfect the recipe. We all crushed the loaf in one day and while it was pretty good, there is definitely room for improvement! We also started some fun house projects this week, Caroline won her softball game on Tuesday night, I won my tennis match yesterday, and I hosted Supper Club last night ..read more

I thought I would do something a little different for our coffee date this month! Instead of answering a some random questions, I want to share a few reminders! You already know all of these things, but just in case you need a friend to remind you… Pull The Meat Out of Your Freezer Several times over the past few weeks I have found myself making breakfast for dinner after realizing I forgot to thaw my meat overnight ..read more

Re-sharing the Jennifer Aniston Friends Salad — the viral salad that Jennifer Aniston ate every day, for 10 years while on-set of the Friends show (allegedly)! Regardless, it’s so good.  The salad has apparently been adapted over the years but the viral recipe includes a high protein combination of grains, red onion, extra virgin olive oil, chopped pistachios, crumbled feta cheese, garbanzo beans, fresh herbs (fresh mint, fresh parsley), lemon juice, and fresh veggies ..read more
