If we were having coffee I’d love to chat about… The courtesy wave. Is that not a thing anymore? Is it dying?! When someone allows you to jump in front of them on the road or cross the street as a pedestrian you should say THANK YOU! And it’s so simple — just a smile …

Today I’m tackling one of my most requested topics — a day in our life! I do really love these types of posts and I know I’ll enjoy looking back on them one day with rose colored glasses when we’re empty nested. You know, when dress up clothes strewn across the floor are replaced with …

Scallops are on sale at the Harris Teeter this week so a few nights ago I scooped up a pound for dinner and waited for the kids to go to bed so Matt and I didn’t have to share them with our two little people. After a quick Pinterest search I found the perfect scallops …

Where to start?! When we purchased our home we knew the master bathroom had some urgent  significant issues that needed to be addressed right away. During the inspection a shower leak was discovered. The leak appeared to have been active for years, maybe even close to a decade. As a result, the bathroom floor was …

On Saturday Matt turned 37 and today Thomas turned two! So on Saturday we combined their birthday celebrations into a double-header party — a fire truck toddler party for Tom and a late night after party for Matt. Judging by the state of my house the next morning, which looked like a frat house, the parties …

We’ve been continuing to work on various projects around the house! Next week I am finally going to share our master bathroom renovation (I have a few pictures I still need to take), but in the meantime I thought it would be fun to share a smaller project we knocked out recently — the foyer! …

Another topic requested by y’all — kid-friendly meals! Before I share some of our go-to meals for our kids, I have to make a few announcements/disclaimers:1. Our kids go through waves of being good eaters and super picky. So while these are some of our favorite meals to make on the fly, just know there …

Okay, OKAY, okaaaaaaayyyyy — Laura wins best Supper Club. Last Thursday Laura hosted us for an amaaaaazing evening of rosé and charcuterie. It.was.epic. Seeeeeee? Epic, like I said! Laura’s home is seriously the cutest too. Another table shot because this set up was too beautiful to resist a million pictures! We had a ton of …

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve shared a DIY post and I am pretty pumped about my latest project — Caroline’s Ikea dresser makeover! First, I have to say that we love the Ikea Hemnes 8-drawer dresser so much that we have THREE of them — one in each of our rooms (including our master …

Every now and then Matt and I try to capitalize on daycare hours by playing hooky from work and going on a day date. We spent our last day date in Asheville and loved it so much that we almost did it again but changed the plans last minute to picnic on my favorite mountain …

I received some questions about my recent Trader Joe’s haul on InstaStories, so I thought I would pop in with my shopping list. I know I’m missing stuff on this list (Thomas destroyed my receipt) but these are a few items I never leave the store without. Tried and true favorites… TRADER JOE’S GROCERY LIST Wine (duh)! La Ferme Julien …

Cross your fingers for us this morning — we’re wrangling our toddlers onto an airplane and heading to Florida! I am so so so so so excited to meet my littleist love, see my daddy and hang with the fam for a few days. one. I spent a few days in Atlanta this week for …
