Collins Birth Story

On March 11, 2020, our lives were forever changed when Collins Elisabeth Drake came into the world. A day that for so long felt so far out of reach, yet one that will live in our memory as the most special day of our lives. It’s the day we welcomed our daughter into the world and began our new journey as mom and dad! The emotions and experiences of that day are hard to put into words and why it has taken me nearly six months to share our story! There is truly nothing that parallels to giving birth and bringing another life into this world; an indescribable moment that I had to go through...

In fact, 90% of the time I am wearing one of the following colors in the gel formula. So, read on for my must-have nail colors and nail brands.

It would seem as though 2017 is off to a wild, and very busy start!

Snow’s Coming

Outfit details: Leggings: lululemon | Sweater: J.Crew (similar, here) | Black wrap: FOREVER 21 (similar, Calvin Klein - on sale)  | Boots: Hunter | Sunnies: KREWE There is something painfully calming about snow. The silence, then the crunch of powder beneath your feet. During Winter months, I live for the moments of a sudden flurry and can’t wait to walk through the untouched snow. It's not common that we experience snow here in the Carolina's, however, the forecast is calling for several inches of snow fall over the weekend bringing out the inner child in me. With snow flurries on the...

Dunton Hot Springs – Colorado Part II

I just got back from one of the most memorable vacations of my life. Not that it was the most extravagant or foreign — it was just SO cool. And even better than that, it was SO private. Initially I had planned not to write about this place, because although it deserves to blow up and be world renowned, the selfish part of me wants to escape here each winter and not have to book a year in advance or pay an arm and a leg. But, alas, I’ve decided to share it with you guys, because I always receive such appreciative feedback when I share my travel experiences, and also, I’d love to know that...
