I took a break from blogging for the last two weeks, soaked up family time over Thanksgiving, then spent a few days in Waynesville, at my parent’s. It’s hard to believe that December is here. I have big plans to make every single night a Christmas memory, knowing that traditions are being built now with […]

Life Update: We’re Building!
When I graduated high school just short of 10 years ago, I drove off to Columbus, never wanting to look back. Waynesville was home to me since the day I was born, and it was great, but there was a big world out there… and I had big plans. Waynesville is the definition of small […]
9 Months Postpartum Update
It’s 2pm on a Thursday, and I’m rocking my 9 month old, while he’s finishing up his second nap of the day. His second nap is never as great as his first. Usually within an hour he starts stirring, but isn’t quite ready to be up for the rest of the evening. I sneak into […]
Q&A with Real Life Bride, Sidney
Another Q&A with a real life bride… and she’s my favorite one yet <3 Sidney and her husband Brad are celebrating their one year anniversary TODAY! I’ve been besties with Sid long before her wedding day though. Not only have we been friends for over 20 years, but, I actually had the honor of standing […]
Wedding Trends I love
Trends. Some people love them, some people hate them. Personally, I think I fall right in the middle. As a wedding professional, I’m encouraged to know what’s currently trending for brides, but it’s also my job to make sure a wedding remains classy, and timeless. It’s always fun to incorporate some unique aspects into your […]
Friday Favorites
One of my favorite mom accounts to follow on Instagram is Shay Shull, from @MixandMatchMama. She’s got the sweetest family, an inspiring faith, and tries to celebrate every day like it’s the best day! Something I am seriously striving to do as a mother. Every Friday on her blog, she shares her “Favorite Things” from […]
Connor’s Helmet Journey
When you become a mother, everyone warns you about “things”. People tell you that you’ll have sleepless nights. They say all babies grow at their own pace, and not to compare to others. And it’s well known that babies don’t keep. Nobody warns you about the hard decisions though. The decisions that impact not just […]
Bridesmaids Proposals and Gifts
With [most] weddings getting postponed to next year, it’s giving brides more time to plan out a few extra details for their big day. The venue, florist, and photographer are most likely already set; the special, intimate details though don’t need to be. Once you finally get that sparkly diamond on your finger, you pop […]
