An adorable new boutique in the Oklahoma City area contacted me earlier this month about carrying some of my ring pillows…of course I said yes!

Pippin + Pearl is a brand new shop with lots of handmade goodness, all by local artists. So if you are in the OKC metro area, make sure you give [...]

Today is the first day I actually have felt inspired to write on this blog. It was this photo that did it.

I love this photo — the mood it creates, a story without words. The harrowing waters appear haunted and nudge the imagination of the mysteries that lie in the depths [...]

I wanted to write this to share with you all my birth story and also to keep the memory alive for myself. The event of our second son’s birth is something I wish I could relive again and again because of how beautiful and amazing it was. The birth of my first son was something [...]

Hello dear readers! Happy Friday and happy Memorial Day weekend! Just wanted to let you all know this is my last post for awhile. I’m planning on taking a break from blogging and most everything else for the month of June so I can have my baby and adjust to new life with a family [...]

It was the story of our recently sponsored [...]

We got confirmation that our little guy is going to have a baby brother! I’m really excited to be having another boy. Little E will have a play mate very close to his age, so hopefully they will be best buds.

Hi Friends! I realize that it’s been a MONTH since I posted last, so I just wanted to let you know that we are still alive, we made it to OKC, and we survived the tough move here. My goal is to post a few times this week, mostly with some things that have been [...]
