Throughout my pregnancy with Hudson, many women would ask if I planned to breastfeed. I’m not exactly sure why that is a common topic for small talk (I’d rather talk about the weather, to...
This is a guest post written by meg duerksen from whatever. when CloroxÆ asked me to write about making messes with my kids and cleaning them up i said, “YES! we are GREAT at making messes and ...
1. How is it possible that I will have a three year old next week? This feels like it was just yesterday. It makes me want to cry. 2. We go to the beach next week with Todd’s parents and my par...
I have a few friends that make adorable kids clothes. One of my friends that I met through blogging and Twitter owns an adorable kids clothing business called Pumpkin Butter Kids. I linked to her Ets...
(This post is an attempt to catch everyone up on what we’ve been doing this week. It’s really just a picture dump. Apologies in advance… ) I told y’all that posting would be a...
Eep! I love it when someone I know wins one of the giveaways! I’m super excited to announce that Rhi is the winner of the $50 gift card to Bridier Baubles. You can all still shop on Bridier Bau...
For my Huggies post today, I’m going to be talking about schedules. When I was pregnant with Hudson, I really didn’t make any plans for what I was going to actually do when he arrived. I ...
We drove up to Greenville this weekend to celebrate the precious miracle of Anne’s daughter, Mary Brooks’s life. It was so much fun to see so many good friends and so sweet to meet little...
You all know by now that I’m a big fan of Bridier Baubles. First of all, I absolutely love the jewelry. It is so pretty and the styles can be worn with so many different looks. I love that I ca...
Okay, I’m finally getting around to posting the remaining pictures that Rachel took from Hayes’s party. There were so many amazing pictures of Hayes, our family, and our friends! It took ...

I’m a worry wart. I like to say it comes naturally since my grandmother was a worrier. It’s just what she did. She said it was her way of loving us and praying for us. She just sat around...
We had a really great week last week. My mom was still here after coming for Hayes’s party. We had such a great time hanging out and going out and doing things I don’t normally try to do ...
Today is my third Mother’s Day. It seems odd for my kids to be celebrating me today because I feel like I should be celebrating them. It’s because of them that I’m a mother. It̵...
I’ve been needing some pop culture in my life. And I happen to love watching some of my favorite TV shows on Nick at Nite. (When did all of the TV shows from my young adulthood end up on Nick a...
I don’t have a huge thing for Mother’s Day. I think it’s sweet, sure, but I don’t have big expectations for anything spectacular. I love the idea of honoring my mother, my mot...
I think we all pray for the day when our kids will sleep through the night. And that first night that they finally do feels like a major victory. And once we reach that point, why would we ever want ...
On Monday night, Todd and I had the most fun night out. Our friend, Susie, gave us tickets to the City Roots Farm harvest dinner. The City Roots Farm is an in-town sustainable farm in the middle of C...
1. My mom is still here and we’re loving having her here! It’s just nice to have some adult company during the day. And someone to entertain Hudson when he’s bored with me. 2. I too...
I feel like there needs to be a packing list that comes inside every diaper bag. When babies are teeny tiny, they need so much stuff. It’s all little-bitty stuff, but it’s still needed. A...
I think because our first pregnancy was unexpected, I, in turn, didn’t have any expectations. I’ve mentioned before, but I took the whole pregnancy with Hudson one day at a time. I had a ...

I have to split this post up into two or three posts because you’d have picture overload if I didn’t. When my c-section with Hayes was scheduled for May 5, I immediately got excited that ...
My Dear Sweet Hayes, Today, you turned 1 year old. Where did this year go? A year ago today, you came into our lives with your gentle, content spirit and melted our hearts. photo by Rachel Over the p...
1. Why didn’t I start using Certain Dri deodorant earlier? I’ve heard about it for years. Plenty of people told me how awesome it is. What in the world? I waited too long. This stuff work...

It’s hard to believe that four years have gone by since the day Todd and I vowed to love, honor, cherish and respect each other for the rest of our lives. Four years and two babies. Four years ...
Y’all know I love to read. I go through reading spurts. I’ll stop reading completely and then a couple of months later, I’ll come back with a vengeance and read six books in a month...
