I have another room to share with y’all today — the playroom, which is arguably my favorite room in the house. As I’ve mentioned too many times, a dedicated space just for our kiddos is something we have wanted so badly for awhile — in part for the kids, but mostly for us (ha!). As …

Earlier today I had some of my favorite ladies over for lunch! I wanted to prepare something simple ahead of time so I decided to toss a salad together, thaw some Trader Joes cheesecake bites and chill a few bottles of rose. The salad was a big hit so I thought I’d share it with …
We have our first completed room in the house — Thomas’s room! No longer is he sharing the guest room or sissy’s closet — he finally has his very own space and his very own closet! His room is simple and cozy and I love it so much! So this is what we started with …
So, I quit my job. And today is my last day. Gosh it still feels really weird and sad to say that after five years of working for a law firm I have loved so much. Turning in my notice two weeks ago was honestly one of the toughest things I’ve ever done. My co-workers …
Something look different?! Here’s a hint… Carolina Charm got a facelift! Over the past few months my bestie Laura has been designing my new look and I couldn’t be happier with it.
