We woke up this morning and did a four mile race. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day. (Gabe did a one-mile fun run (walk) with my parents.) I have a lot to be thankful for, and I’m so glad my family humored me in this whim.
Read MoreI am not an animal print person. It just never felt like me. I could admire it on other people, but on me? Nope. Much like tattoos or stilettos, I just couldn’t pull it off. NOT YOU! it always seemed to scream. Stop trying! Last month, though, I was trying every item of clothing on at LOFT that was in myRead the whole post >>

Nope, I’m not talking about gifts. (Yet.) I’m talking about Christmassy stuff! I had a summer bucket list and list of fall traditions I wanted to do. Now it’s time for the holiday season! (I know, I know, Thanksgiving isn’t here! But I’m not actually doing any of this stuff yet. Just planning for it. I stillRead the whole post >>
Read MoreI’ve been a bit undedicated on my pursuit of less lately. What with the pretty clothes luring me in and all. But I’ve come a long way since I first embarked on this journey 1.5 years ago by reading The Joy of Less. I have many ways I can improve and much more clutter toRead the whole post >>
Read MoreI thought I wanted Gabe to be a girl. I told you that. (I was probably more open than I should have been, really, considering how anyone can read this blog and give me feedback on how I’m living my life. And…here I go again!) Even for the first few months after he was born,Read the whole post >>
Read MoreI never wear glasses. They look awful on me and I don’t see well in them. BUT, I just got a new prescription (my left eye is deteriorating at the rate of an 80-year-old) and decided to get my glasses online. After poking around at a few sites, I stumbled upon Warby Parker’s Home Try Ons. YouRead the whole post >>
Read More1. I’ve realized that I am not uncomfortable with talking to new people, I just say REALLY awkward, strange things to fill the silence. Like, “So…have you had any more kids since we last talked?” WHO SAYS THAT? I also spent my first moms club meeting blabbering on about whether I’d find out the sexRead the whole post >>
Read MoreLet me start off by saying that I didn’t get any photos of PEOPLE. Well, okay. I got one. But it’s out-of-focus and not well-lit (despite featuring two of my favorites): I started my weekend by getting a cup of Starbucks (Thanksgiving blend with gingerbread syrup – THE BEST) and driving down to the gulfRead the whole post >>
Read MoreI’m trying to care more about how I dress (shopping from my closet more than getting new clothes, as is my style) and I’m trying to post every day this month, so I decided to show you guys what I wear sometimes. On Wednesdays we wear pink, I’ll be participating in Dress for the DayRead the whole post >>
Read MoreThis weekend was nothing like I expected it would be. The city, the Blathering, the people, even the beignets. There were so many people I expected to hang out with that I didn’t get a chance to. And people I didn’t expect to hang out with who ended up being just about the best peopleRead the whole post >>
