It’s been such a crazy week around here and I am SO relieved it’s finally Friday. If you’re a longtime reader, you may remember that my entire family (literally everyone) lives in Orlando and it was a nerve-wracking week with Hurricane Milton. I am so grateful that everyone safely made it through the storm with …
Five on Friday
Happy Friday! This week has felt so heavy, and my heart aches with all the devastation in Western NC caused by Hurricane Helene. It’s everywhere I turn — donations are being collected in our neighborhood/school/church/etc., my Instagram feed is filled with heartbreaking stories, and yet, amidst the sadness, I’ve also seen incredible acts of kindness …
Happy Friday! It’s been such a fun week of celebrations, especially because my mom has been in town! On Wednesday, I turned 38, and today, my mom turned 69. Over our birthday dinner, we each took turns sharing our high-low-buffalo for the day, and without question, my high was having my mom here to celebrate …
Happy Friday! This weekend I’m doing it…I’m putting mums on my porch! Mums aren’t even close to being a favorite flower of mine, but putting them on my porch during the fall makes me SO happy! Here is one of my favorite fall porches I’ve created! And want to know a secret? Most of those …

Happy Friday! The short weeks always feel more wild than usual, right?

Happy LAST Friday of summer (for us)! I cannot believe summer is officially coming to a close. Tonight we are celebrating with our back-to-school dinner and it’s going to be an extra fun one! This weekend also marks our first full year with MABEL!!! My goodness, I cannot imagine our life without her. She is …
Happy Friday! It’s been one of those weeks, and I won’t drag you through all the details, but I’m exhausted. I’d love to kick off this post with something like, “We’re savoring every last bit of summer and don’t want it to end!” But honestly, I’m ready for school to start. We’ve had an amazing …
Happy Friday! Let’s catch up for a bit before we dive in! I’ve really missed hanging out with you all in this space and I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you took the time to read my blog today. We’ve had a camp-free week which I’ve been using in part …
Happy Friday! WHAT A WEEK! Back to our regularly scheduled programming! I had so much fun shopping the Prime Day Sale with y’all and hope you are excited about the boxes showing up on your doorstep! Want to know what the top 10 sellers were for Prime Day? I thought I would be able to …
