Hilton Head Birthday Weekend Recap

What a weekend!!  If you read my last post, you might know that I celebrated my 35th birthday on Friday.  And not just all Friday, but all weekend long!  My awesome mom and I scooted off to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a girls beach weekend, just she and I!  It wouldn’t have been possible without Scott being such a trooper and managing the kids and taking them to Aiken for a fun weekend with Nana and Pop.  Cliche as[Read more]

Happy Mother’s Day + Weekly Meal Plan

We wrapped up Ben’s baseball season on Friday night, and got some ice cream on the way home.  He loved baseball so much that I signed him up for[Read more]

What I Wore

Hello Friends!  I have a whole entire week’s worth of outfits for you today…I didn’t miss one day!  Here’s what I wore last week: I am really into statement jewelry this season!  I am always all about accessories, but I love the colorful necklaces and earrings (as I’ve mentioned before) for spring.  I saw this necklace on a friend of mine and asked her where she got it because it was so unique and so different!  And of all places, she said[Read more]

Things I Love- The Gingham Plaid Dress

I am pretty pumped that the definitively-Southern fabric, GINGHAM (second only to my beloved seersucker), is everywhere this spring!  The Gingham Plaid Dress is one of my must-haves this season, and I have found several affordable versions to share today! I mean, you knew I would lead it off with an off the shoulder dress, right?!  This Anthropologie version is SO CUTE (and on sale!), though I do think I’m going to buy some black and white gingham fabric and make this[Read more]

What I Wore

Hello Friends!  I didn’t have time to pull it together last week, but here I am back with What I Wore!  I’ve had some business, some ballfield, some school and some church, so it’s a little bit of everything this week.
