Lilly and I had a little adventure today. Partially fueled by a photography assignment I'm working on for school, partially fueled by my longing not to miss out on the famous D.C. cherry blossoms before we move on to the next place and mostly wanting to miss out on the swarms that will be arriving [...]
On the first day of spring I packed away all of my winter wardrobe. A bit early? Nope. I'm over the heavy fabrics and copious layers. Dark colors, be gone! I'm not the only one who feels this way though. Sweet Lilly, at just 2 years old has eschewed wearing her puffer coat for the [...]
The last few weeks have been pretty hectic. Nate was out of town for most of February, which always makes the girls really unsettled and thus, makes my life extra stressful. Plus, as soon as he left the dishwasher broke, my hard-drive crashed and soon thereafter, sweet Lilly came down with a nasty fever/cold that [...]

I found this dress a few months ago at Nordstrom Rack by a brand named Gracia. I was so drawn to the vintage look of it that exudes sophistication, class [...]
This was going to be a totally different post but as I began researching the origins of Valentine's day I inadvertently tumbled down a rabbit hole and quite frankly, was shocked. My initial questions were; where did Valentine's day originate from, why do we celebrate it now, and are we truly honoring the traditional meaning [...]
Last week we had the Polar Vortex where temperatures dipped into the low teens and single-digits. Granted, we had it better than most of the country who saw temperatures in the negatives! I'll never forget the feeling of walking through -30 degree gusting winds during our visit to Ohio during the last Polar Vortex in [...]
