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...

Day 7 of Giving – Fromm Beauty

I get it... washing, blow drying, and styling your hair isn't something most women jump to do.  It's hands-down the most time consuming part of the getting ready process, or at least for me. I felt as if I went through years of my life with a subpar blow-dryer and was just fine - maybe a little frizzy.  But the second I tried the Fromm Beauty Zero7 I realized just how much I had been missing.  In fact, the hair dryer I had been using was purchased at a local grocery store my freshman year of college, if that says anything. Contrary to what many believe, the quality of your hair dryer...

Outfit details: Pants: Express | Sweater: J.Crew | Scarf: J.Crew | Boots: Hunter | Sunnies: KREWE | Bag: Vera Bradley (c/o) So, if you're a girl of a certain age (college or beyond), you know all about Vera Bradley.  Known for her brightly colored bags, purses, wallets and every kind of accessory under the sun, Vera bags were enormously popular during my middle/high school years and throughout college. And with good reason - the totes are amazing, and they come in almost every colorful pattern imaginable. Not to mention, the quality is amazing; they are thick and durable and hold up even...
