Our Babymoon in Lake Austin

It feels a bit extreme to call this a Babymoon because we were only away for two nights, but LISTEN–a kid-free trip is a kid-free trip and it was everything we needed and more. You know how I feel about a great hotel, friends, and this one might make my top 7. After doing tons […]

My Essentials from the Sephora Sale

As a non-toxic makeup and skincare lover, my typical one stop shop is always Credo. The problem is, Credo only has one sale a year (!) and I need to restock more frequently than that. If you also love clean, non-toxic products but don’t love the price tag, you’ve come to the right place. Here […]

Everything I Wore and Did on a Sister Trip to 30A

A couple weeks ago, my sisters and I woke up to alarms we had set for 3am. We had slept over our sister’s house so we were tiptoeing around the kitchen and bathrooms in the middle-of-the-night haze to pop in contacts and pack up coolers. It was the morning of our 12 hour drive to […]

You read that right. I figured every single content creator will be telling you to get candles and scarves and bubble bath for the women on your list. And they’re right. But I just wanted to do something a little bit different this year and make a gift guide based off of my exact wish […]

2022 Gift Guides: For Him

My ‘Gift Guide for Him’ is the guide I’m most known for and that brings me immense joy.

A Good ol’ Fashioned Life Lately No. 3

I figured the very tail end of September makes for the perfect time to give a Life Lately update, and if you’re unfamiliar, this is my replacement for Instagram Stories since deleting the app in January. It’s meant to document the insignificant moments that don’t warrant an update, but really do tell the story of […]

My Recent Purchase List: From Kid’s Vitamins to the Perfect Swimsuit

It’s been a while since I did a purchase roundup so we’re back with a bit of a beefy one. I considered the first three months of the year a “spending freeze” so there wasn’t much to report there, but if you want to keep up with my ten monthly favorites every month and what […]

Our Week in the Mountains: A Photo Journal

I know I’ll want this journal to look back on in years to come. The week we couldn’t get a bar of cell service to save our lives, wifi didn’t exist, tears flowed in worship and laughs snapped our ribs. The first time we rode horses as a family, where our children tasted sweet independence […]
