Style // Fall Outfit Try On
October is officially here! We took a trip to Texas at the end of September (blog post coming), and my hunt for Fall outfits was in full swing. Nordstrom, Amazon, Target, Abercrombie, and online boutiques are my main squeezes when it comes to clothes. I rarely or...
Family Travel // Montage Palmetto Bluff, SC

Travel // Lake Tahoe in the Winter

Girl’s Christmas Gift Guide / 2019
I put together this gift guide and I believe it covers girls from 5 to 10 years old. You might even find a few things for your teenager on the list. I know Hydroflasks and Tamagotchis are popular with all ages. When my 6-year-old and 8-year-old wrote out their...
