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...

At the moment, my plan is to take a lot of dresses, cute sandals, and fun accessories,...

Last week was wonderful, to say the least. On Wednesday, I received an invitation to attend the Southern Blog's Society's annual conference in Charleston, South Carolina, where I will be rooming with blogging babe, Shelby Vanhoy, editor of Life & Style blog, Pretty in the Pines.

Prior to getting engaged I worked in a bridal boutique here in Charlotte, but surprising I never heard anyone talk about the reality of planning a wedding. So, I thought I would share with you some of what I have experienced as a bride-to-be, and hopefully those who are currently engaged can relate! 1. Saying "fiancé" - This has been a tough one for me. Since Justin popped the question I can't seem to break the habit of referring to...
