On another of our walks around Lake Defuniak, Emery and I got plenty of fresh air, sunshine and even duck sightings. We don’t usually walk right by the water and I didn’t realize there were so many duckies around the lake! Next time I’ll have to bring bread crumbs…We took a note from the day...

presents are fun!
Especially when they come in colorful gift bags. Emery and I stopped by the ol’ workplace to see Hunter’s mom and after lots of visiting, baby talk, plenty of oohs, ahhs and a little feeding, we left with these goodies. Tracy gave us the sweetest, softest blanket I’ve felt yet, complete with Emery’s name embroidered...

sparkling toes
Ordinarily, I am opposed to all things glitter. (Shimmer, an entirely different category, is not included.) I made an exception for my toes today since nail color is low commitment, and so far I’m loving it. A little sparkle for the toes is fun every once in a while!

the art of simple
Danielle and I stopped by Michael Granberry’s The Art of Simple gallery in Seaside during our playdate and I thought the place deserved its own post. One, because Hunter and his dad are pictured in Michael’s photo series of life in these parts and two, because the place was chock full of loveliness and perfect...

seaside playdate
I just love getting together with Danielle and sweet little Alexandra for our weekly playdates. I’m pretty sure the little ones have no clue they’re involved in any such playdate at this point. The outings are really just for us to enjoy, though we’re sure the girls are destined to be BFFs, naturally. This week...

one month down…
Well, we survived the month of April! We seem to still have our sanity, Emery is happy, healthy, and changing every day. While I’ve gotten noticeably less sleep than my pre-baby schedule, I really haven’t had many rough nights and certainly none that were completely sleepless. Emery must know how much I love my sleep...

bath time = undecided
This girl can’t decide if she loves or hates bath time. Just look at those faces. She likes being naked and likes the sound of running water, but hates when it runs over her. One thing’s for sure, we love snuggling with our little Emery bug any time, but there’s something just irresistible about that...

hippity hoppity
Our little family of three spent most of Easter Sunday at Hunter’s Aunt Bonnie’s house, letting everyone “ooh” and “ahh” over Emery while we stuffed our faces full of delicious home cooking. We all know my cooking pales in comparison to almost anyone’s so Aunt Bonnie’s food is always a treat. Hunter looks forward to...

Circling the lake
Today I took Emery out on her first stroll complete with new stroller, walking buddy (mom) and old houses to look at along the way. We loaded up and headed to the lake in Defuniak to get some fresh air and see what she thought of everything. The lake is supposedly one of two perfectly...

splish splash
My sweet girl turned two weeks old yesterday and we celebrated by giving Emery her first bath! She’s been a little fussy lately so she wasn’t too thrilled about the whole process but in the end I think she liked it. At least she’s still lovable when she cries. The bath set Jocelyn got her...

ready for her close-up
My sweet girl is doing so great and getting cuter by the day. Of course, I’m a little biased but when everyone else agrees, it must be true. Right? 🙂 Today, Miss Emery had her first official photoshoot with my go-to photographer Amanda Suanne. She’s done our engagement pics, wedding photos, maternity session and now...

to lob or not to lob
Long hair is like my security blanket and outside of my toddler years of growing it out, I think I’ve only ever cut my hair near my shoulders once. I wore it curly almost all the time back then and needless to say, the look wasn’t a hit. I had a lot to learn about...

the grand opening
Since work wasn’t cancelled due to Sephora’s grand opening in Destin Commons last week, I’ve had to wait until yesterday to check it out. Finally, I got to see all the great products in person I had been scoping on the screen for so long. It was heaven! Just a few of the goodies I...

sunday fishing adventures
The weather lately has been beyond gorgeous. Nice warm temps in the 70s, gentle breezes and cool evenings so pregnant women like me don’t get overheated and melt. My goal for the afternoon was to spend some quality lounge time outside getting some sun and possibly falling asleep in a comfy chair soaking up a...

shrimping and such
Hunter’s out for the night on the shrimp boat. Let’s just hope no signs of labor come on and there are no showings of The Crazies on tv. He sent me a few pictures earlier as the sun went down. There’s a lot of work involved in shrimping (not that I would know much about...
