I think my arms have gone numb from how often I’ve been pinching myself lately. Because I have three HUGE tidbits of news for y’all. (Lauren, aren’t “huge” and “tidbits” total oxymorons?) Yeah, but just roll with it. Here ya go. News story #1: Right this moment, I am guest posting over at From My Front Porch To Yours for…

Happy New Year! Well, I guess I’m a few hours ahead of myself. I always get so nostalgic this time of year. I want to hold on to every sweet moment. Our little family has gone through so much this year, in the best way. And I have grown immensely in my faith, in my confidence, in my abilities with…

So ya know that fancy schmancy 1 year progress house tour I showed you guys about a month ago? The one with all of the pictures of the rooms in our home that Robert and I really focused all of our efforts and little bitty budget into? Well, y’all, I have a confession to make. You haven’t even seen the…

Are you completely recapped out yet? Has it been painfully obvious that I’ve been trying to entertain you for the past two weeks as I’ve been juggling the holidays with the blog? It is? Okay, well at least we’re on the same page. ‘Cuz y’all, change is a-comin’! (More on that tomorrow, so hang in there.) But today, I had…

Merry late Christmas y’all! I used to think Christmas couldn’t get any better when I was a kid, and then once our little one came along, I discovered it’s the most fun of all when you’re a parent. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I apologize for your newsfeed overload of pictures…I’m kind of obsessed with this kid….

It never fails- every single holiday, I put things off until the last minute. You ever see those bloggers who are majorly on their A-game and have all of the Chrismas decor up, presents wrapped, and recipes planned before the end of November? Yeah, I’m not that kind. (I wish, but it ain’t happenin’ sister.) Even though I had every…

Can you even believe I’ve been doing this blogging gig long enough to have a roundup of my own projects? Yeah, I can’t either. Because honestly, I’ve never been an endurance girl. I live life in phases. I tried my hand at writing a novel once. That lasted 4 days. I attempted to start my own photography business because, hey,…

Y’all. Can you even believe that at this time next week, we’ll be donning our Christmas jammies and setting out our Santa cookies? It’s 8:30 p.m. here in South Carolina right now and I just tucked Olivia into her bed. I’m so ready for it to be here that I can hardly stand it. (Side note: Our two year-old calls…

We have two states of affairs in our house: 1. Chaos Mode- Toys strewn all over our floors (that will render you paralyzed when stepping barefoot on little plastic pieces), folded laundry in piles on our sofa, dishes around our sink still with remnants of PB&J 2. Preparing for Company Mode- All of the above are hurriedly shoved behind closed…

Greetings from Nashville, Tennessee! This weekend, we have been visiting my husband’s side of the family for an early Christmas, so I’m feeling my usual holiday spirit but on hyperdrive. Yep. I’m blogging from the road, complete with a toddler singing her own version of Jingle Bells from the backseat of our SUV, but since I had given y’all the…

Merry Christmas, dear friends!
A couple of years ago, I fell in love. And I don’t mean with my husband. Although, trust me. I love that man to pieces, but that’s long been established. Two years ago, while on maternity leave with our little girl, sandwiched in between sporadic feedings and random naps (for exhausted mommy and for teeny tiny Olivia), I fell in…

A lot of you probably know this by now, but there are two things that are very true about our home: 1. I love using pieces that are one-of-a-kind with tons of personality that speak to our family’s interests. 2. My favorite spot in our house is the cozy little corner of our living room.

I had not planned on writing a blog post today. Mainly because my house is a train wreck at the moment- Christmas decorations are still in boxes all over the floor and counters since we have to wait for Saturday to get a tree.Things have come to a screeching halt on projects since our little one has a stomach bug…

I have a streak of jealousy for women who can wear cowgirl boots. Seriously. There are just certain people in this world who can put on a pair and look instantly stylish. I look like a girl going to a costume party. (Aw, Lauren, you dressed up as Annie Oakley! How cute!) I don’t know what it is, but they…

In the midst of vacuuming up Cheerio crumbs and cleaning the doggy nose art from our back door windows as we prepared for our 27-guest big family Thanksgiving last week, I realized that I hadn’t really posted a house tour yet. Since the last one was pretty much a slew of completely blank before shots, and we are hitting the…

My mother-in-law and I have a running joke. Every time I go over to my in-laws’ house (their lovely yellow country home that was built in 1904), I usually see some “new” vintage/reclaimed piece, and I always end up gushing over it and asking, “Where did you get that?!” 90% of the time her answer is “Oh, I just found…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of BIC®. All opinions are 100% mine. Ever since I was old enough to make a handprint in a patty of salt dough, I have always treasured one type of gift-giving over all of the others- the handmade kind. Growing up, I loved cooking breakfast for my dad on Father’s…
