I went to a funeral yesterday. Isn’t it funny how that can get you thinking? There’s nothing like the thought of being out of time to get the wheels turning about how you want to spend the time that you have. And while tears are shed, I always find the characterizations of that person and...

Helping NYFW Feel Like a Walk on the Beach
I received compensation from Dr. Scholl’s® to write this post. All opinions are entirely my own. #advertisement For this mama, every September brings an added energy and a new level of excitement that isn’t part of my everyday life here at the beach. On a given weekday, I’m typically going from school drop off to...
Friday Five – August 24, 2018
Happy Friday! As usual, this week has completely flown by and here I am pre-weekend looking at a to-do list that looks almost the same as it did at the start of the week. Does that happen to anyone else? I know it’s just this season of life with a baby and I’m really enjoying...
Family Beach Day on Grayton Beach
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Grayton Beer Company. All opinions expressed are mine. There isn’t much better in the summertime than a good 30A beach day. We love loading up the truck and driving out to a pretty little spot on Grayton Beach — and I have to say,...

Miami Swim Week + My Stay On Española Way
This was my sixth year attending Miami Swim Week and it’s safe to say this is still my favorite event of the year. (Yes, it even tops NYFW for me, but more on that below.) I love everything about the Miami vibe and I feel right at home in a hot, humid and beachy locale...
#NSALE Favorites in Every Category
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (better known as the #Nsale) is officially open to the public! I’m loving the purchases I made during Early Access, which I shared in this post and have already been wearing them daily.
