If we were having coffee (& Oreos) I’d love to chat about a recent life lesson I learned… Scheduling time to worry. If you’re a worrier like me then you should try this strategy I recently learned about to free up your mental space from worry. I know it seems like an incredibly strange concept to schedule …

Happy Friday! Today I’m coming in hot with 5 recent purchases under $25 that you need to know about… Pink Mules ($25)   one. I wasn’t sure if I could pull off the mule trend. At first, I wasn’t sure I even liked them. But then I found this amazing hot pink pair at Target and …

A few weekends ago I had a craving for white chicken enchiladas. I didn’t have a go-to recipe to make but I have been lucky enough to have two friends bring me their homemade white chicken enchiladas on various occasions. Both meals were amazing so naturally I texted them both, got their recipes and combined …

Last week Lisa hosted Supper Club for September! From the food to the tablescape, everything was absolutely perfect… Lisa set up her table on her back porch and we got super lucky with perfect fall weather. The table looked gorgeous with fresh bouquets of hydrangeas, lots of candles, apples sprinkled around and bunches of eucalyptus …

We spent the weekend in Asheville celebrating my birthday! This is actually our second time celebrating my birthday in my favorite city (read about the last trip here), only this time we were sans kiddos! Early Saturday morning Ms. Jamie arrived and Matt and I were out the door 3 seconds later. We arrived in …

One of the most requested topics I regularly receive from readers is how we managed two kids under two years old. It’s taken me forever to write this post because truthfully I have no idea how we did it. It was such a blur. Our first year with two kids 14 months apart was our …

We recently hosted a fun football watch party with friends and family, complete with good food, cozy seating, and plenty of team spirit. This is actually Matt’s party of the year and it’s the one he gets most excited preparing for. Last year we kind of blew this shindig out but since planning events weeks …

Yay! Another space checked off the list — our powder room! Actually, this room was the first to be completed in the house but it took me forever to get around to taking the pictures. But alas, it is DONE and photographed…so come on in… But wait! Let’s take a look at what we were …

(Last night we said goodbye to our beloved Charlie. Today’s post is brought to you by Matt.)The short story on my dog Charlie. I was a law student at Tulane University in 2005.  On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans where Tulane is located. Shortly before the highways were closed down, …

Coming in hot with part 3 of our master renovation — the tub! I am a huge bath person so the tub renovation was super important to me. During our home inspection I was disappointed to learn there were several cracks around the tub which made it unusable. However, a broken tub meant a brand …

Finally, I know! I actually had this post written 99% of the way a few weeks ago and had planned to post all of our master bathroom projects all at once, but nope, didn’t happen. However, I finally have part 2 ready for ya today… As the master bathroom floor was being renovated we simultaneously …

We hit a few more bumps in the road over the weekend. I’m trying really, really hard to stay positive and focus on the blessings around us during such a dark and frustrating time in our lives. Friday night Charlie started dry heaving really bad. We were up with him all night trying to comfort and calm …
