    Fall is Here – photoshoot + giveaway

    Recently, we had our fall family photos taken by Kristina Mosley. She is the photographer behind the business Kristina Mosley Photography, and, lucky for us, she recently moved to Myrtle Beach, SC. We met at Huntington State Park at the Atalaya Castle, and we walked the grounds while she snapped us wandering. I LOVE having photos taken with Derrek included because he completes our little family. Oftentimes, he’s the one behind the camera, so while we have lots of photos of me with the kids, I want more of us as a whole family. We really love how she captured all the little moments of the kids and between Derrek and…

I had to fight to get a piece before it…

While the fickle nature of our seasons can sometimes be frustrating, I especially love where we live because we do have longer summer weather. The kids have been asking to…

    Game Day Ready!

    || Dress – Nicole Moore || bangles – Sweet Tea Jewels || cowboy boots – Wild West Bootstore || Being a Southerner goes hand in hand with loving college football. Every year since I can remember, I have gone to football games once the season starts. In South Carolina, the weather moves slowly, so during the first part of football season, wearing something that is breathable and cute is a must. I absolutely adore the Nicole Moore game day 2015 collection. Recently, I was interviewed by Nicole herself (you can read more about it here), and I was able to style a few pieces. This Scarlet game day dress is…
