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!

Instagood…

Confession: I am obsessed with Instagram.  It is by far my favorite social media plateform.  Here are a few of my latest posts' of beautiful blooms, home projects, the queen city, and shoes.  Ugh, shoes... I just can't say no! Other than peonies, hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. They are beginning to bloom all across neighborhoods here in good 'ol NC.

I've always loved the idea of a gallery wall and have wanted to create one of my own.  So, a few weeks ago...

There are so many adorable options to choose from, like these overall shorts from Express.  The lose denim fit was hard to beat this summer, and I found that they were especially great to wear when traveling.  This Fall I plan pair them with tights...
