For the first time in forever I was recently at the mall with a girlfriend. We were not in a huge rush and we didn’t have any children with us. Cue the confetti y’all!

So here is a day in the life… I actually won something from an Instagram giveaway and it is proving to be quite entertaining! This letter board is a really fun “toy” for the house! When we were at the beach, we found painted rocks in… View Post
You know I love simple gifting! Here is a sweet and unique housewarming gift idea. As you know we recently sold our first home and the entire process was so bittersweet. While we are very happy in our new place, there is just something so sentimental about that first home! (*side note- I was able to stop in our old house yesterday… View Post
Hi friends! I hope you had a great weekend! I spent mine at the Haven Conference here in Atlanta with my “people” learning, networking and enjoying some fun girl time with some of favorite fellow bloggers! Now that I am equal parts inspired and exhausted, I am looking forward to our last week of summer. Can you seriously believe my little… View Post
