Summer reading is my very favorite! It’s the only time of the year where I’ll plow through several books and always wish I’d make this enthusiasm last throughout the year! Here are the books I’m on the waitlist for at the library or am planning to purchase this summer. This year I kept it realistic […]

I’ve been on a shopping kick lately — maybe it’s because I have a bunch of shoots coming up, or because there are so many CUTE things online right now making it hard to resist. Here are a few of my favorites…

Summer is here! Here’s my over-zealous summer wish list, I hope we can cross at least a few of these off! Take an overnight trip to the beach. Go camping. Take a hike / nature walk in a nearby park. Go pick peaches. Get an outdoor dining set and eat dinner in our backyard a few […]

  *This post was created in partnership with Aveeno.    The summer months can really do a number on your skin — between being exposed to the sun far more than you’re used to, to spending time in chlorine filled pools and salty oceans. With the change of seasons and activities I try to give […]

There’s nothing like summer reading… although I wish I carried the same enthusiasm and dedication to reading throughout the entire year like I do during the summer months! I’ve been trying to read more in general but the past few weeks I’ve been adamant about reading before bed for at least 20 minutes. My list […]

People always ask “how I do it all” — juggling my job at Glitter Guide, my floral & wedding design business and this blog. With so many new projects, shoots and exciting things in the works I decided it was time to bring on a part-time PAID summer intern, with the hopes that I can […]

 Now that I’ve slowly started working again I’ve been learning how to balance my time–I no longer have hours to spend perfecting my Instagram photos and drool over Pinterest images. I try to squeeze in trips to the grocery store and errands for myself while Austin is home between feedings – I only have 2 […]

This striped dress has been in heavy rotation this summer. Comfort + ease were two important things when it came to my maternity style, and this dress (from Target!) was the perfect fit. I love that it can be layered, worn with different accessories, or worn super casually. To see more of my favorite maternity outfits, […]
