This week Asher started school, which meant we had two boys out of the house and it went smoother than I expected. No more tears from Hudson and since Asher was already familiar with Hudson’s old school he was a pro! Asher only goes for 3 hours, but boy oh boy is it hard to let your kids go for even a little bit of time. It literally felt like my heart was out of my body and I couldn’t protect them and make sure all was right with them. I’m happy to report though that they are thriving and I held it together. We are still getting settled into my parent’s house, but I was even able to get back to a somewhat normal work routine.
Here are my favorite finds from the week!
-Family photos are on my mind. I’m lucky enough to have my super talented friend,Elizabeth Kristin photograph my family. She is family to me and my kids call her Aunt Liz, which means we are all super relaxed when she shoots us.
I’ve been trying to nail down my outfit and here are some contenders:
I think this top is pretty adorable, but I’m not sure if it’s too trendy. Am I going to look back at the ruffles and one sleeve and cringe?
I also love the idea of this top. It’s a bit trendy, but classic black so more timeless.
This stripy and ruffled dress is right down my ally, but stripes are tough to photograph. So, I’m on the fence.
I really love everything about this dress. It’s such a pretty style and I love the colors and the flowers, but I don’t think it would be flattering on me. Had to share it anyway.
Do you have any favorites? How do you typically dress in family portraits? Dressed up or more casual?

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
