Family Holiday Photos: What We’re Wearing
Does anyone else find yourself scrambling to throw outfits together the night before family photos... Every. Single. Time? After a couple of years of regret, I'm finally getting more proactive this year and planning outfits well ahead of time. For this year's holiday photos, I went with a blue and green theme and found some [...]
Holiday Pajamas for the Whole Family – 2020
Holiday Pjs are selling out FAST this year! Maybe people are extra excited about the holidays, or maybe they realize that shipping is taking FOREVER right now. Whatever the reason, family matching pjs are flying off the shelves, so you need to act fast if you want them! In fact, instead of writing this post, [...]
Father’s Day Gift Guide 2020
Oh CRAP! Father's Day is on Sunday! Does anyone else feel completely unprepared for the holiday? With our anniversary a couple weeks ago and planning for Alden's birthday at the end of the month, Father's Day really creeped up on me.

Cheers, y’all. We made it through another week at home. John and I spent most of this week eating strawberries until our bellies hurt and chasing after our little monkey baby, who loves to clamber up anything he can. Alden's most recent obsession is to climb from the couch or the chair to the top [...]

Alden and I took a socially distant walk in Piedmont Park with some of our mama/baby buddies, and we [...]
My Mother’s Hands

She mourned the loss of their once youthful skin, now wrinkling as a rude testament to her age. She loathed the blue veins, “like snakes”, she [...]

I can't begin to tell you how ready I am for this weekend, mostly because Sunday is MOTHER'S DAY! Alden will have no idea what's going on, but I've been looking forward to my first Mother's Day with him for a while. When I think back on our first 10 months together, I'm proud of [...]
Quarantine Takeout Diaries
Even though Georgia gave the go-ahead to open restaurants for in-house dining, I am nowhere near ready to take that step. However, I do care deeply about supporting our local Atlanta restaurant workers and have made a commitment to continue ordering takeout when I can. John and I try to order something once per week [...]
