Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God.” Sometimes, as much as you might see something approaching, it’s hard to accept that it’s actually happening when it finally arrives. Life is busy, things are happening and time moves fast. Truly absorbing a situation requires being still long enough to piece together the reason...

pretty sweet resolutions
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce Have you written down your new year’s resolutions? Do people still do this? I figure the more I write down, the...

lounging on the lawn
I love the holidays. I love days off work. I love leisurely afternoons involving sunshine, picture perfect beachside towns and my sweet little girl. Most of all I love that I was able to combine all these with the treat of having my sister in town, even if it’s only for a few days for...

busy as bees
It seems we’ve been going a million miles an hour, with holiday parties, festivities and the accompanying hoopla on top of business as usual. (Yes, I said hoopla.) It’s been exhausting. Fun, but exhausting. I’ve been relying heavily on Coffee Frappuccinos, which I’m sure I’ll have to give up in January. For now, those and...

Hello, Nashvegas!
And… I’m off! I’m en route to Music City for less than a handful of days to meet with a few journalists and bloggers on behalf of South Walton. Sure it’s work, but it’s also a mini-escape. These days I don’t have much time for moments on my own outside of the midnight to five...

brews and i do’s
What a busy weekend this was! I love action-packed days full of friends and fun, but man, does it wear me out! Sometimes it’s hard to remember that we used to spend every non-work day out and about, from one event to the next, flying by the seat of our pants, heading in any direction...

headed to the country
Yes, this will be me before you know it. Just replace the chickens with hunting dogs. That’s right, we are moving to the country! Hunter’s parents bought a house on the water where they can park their shrimp boat and we are selling our house then moving into theirs. We had been talking about the...

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...

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...

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...
