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!

Anthro Made Me Do It…
Outfit details: Top: Anthropologie (on sale/ half off) | Chinos: Anthropologie | Purse: Lilly Pulitzer (similar, Lilly Pulitzer) | Shoes: Nine West (similar, Marc Fisher) Sunnies: LUCIA Plaid is a pattern that is typically reminiscent of fall, but I would argue that this makes a great exception.
