A few months ago we had a 20 minute mini session with More Beatty to snap some annual family photos. It’s crazy how much time and effort goes in to prepping for just a few minutes of pictures but it’s always SO worth it. I love having these pictures to look back on each year. …

Happy Thanksgiving week! Matt and I are beyond excited to host Thanksgiving in our home this year. It will be a much needed change of scenery for our first big holiday without dad (whose birthday is actually this week too). So I’m feeling all the things from stress to sadness to excitement — wild, right? Oh, …
Notice anything different around here?! Carolina Charm has a new look (thank you, Blog Savvy Creative)! Although we are still working really hard to finalize everything, I am really excited to roll out my new website! My new site is running on a new framework which will improve site speed and my new template will …
We did it! We completed our summer ice cream bucket list! Earlier this summer I came up with the sweet idea after seeing so many stay at home mom’s posting their fun summer bucket lists. This was actually the first summer I really felt like I was missing out on things as a working mom. …
The most requested topic I receive has always been (and continues to be) day in the life posts! I try to write at least one of these each year to look back and see how much our lives have changed in such a short time! The kids are growing so fast and it always blows …
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was November 30, 2014 — my dad’s 57th birthday. I called to wish him the happiest day ever. But it wasn’t the happiest day ever. In fact, it was the worst day of my life (at that point) and in a matter of minutes my entire world …
I started a new job last week — same position but with a larger law firm (details for another post!). Anyway, my office was closed on Friday which was an exciting surprise that Matt and I decided to take full advantage of with a day date (our favorite type of date!) to celebrate 7 years …
Here it is, friends! Today I am sharing a day in our life – the most requested topic ever. Although our routine seems a little boring, I do love reading these types of posts — because I’m nosy. And I like to know what other people do all day, what they make for dinner, what they wear, …
Mother’s Day weekend was SO great! The weekend was off to the best start because Friday morning Caroline had her ballet recital. This was seriously one of the cutest things to watch ever. Last year she just sat there on the floor for most of the recital or ran up to us a million times. …
We’ve been busy tackling a few more house projects since my last exterior update. Nothing like hosting an upcoming party to get ya motivated to check a few more items off the list! Am I right? Flower Beds & Planters Refresh The warmer weather last weekend brought Spring fever to our house so we spent a lot …
Want to start a blog? You should! It’s hard to believe I started Carolina Charm more than 7 years ago. What started as a hobby has turned into one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Over the years I have experienced so much joy in writing my heart out day after …
We are back from paradise! Even though we sat on the beach for 4 days straight the trip went by at warp speed, and in the blink of an eye we were back home to a fallen tree, a sink pipe leak, power outage overnight, an urgent care visit and two wild toddlers (who we …
