Happy Monday, friends!
I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful weekend. Ours was filled with friends and family and lots of great food, and a little bit of tennis. Maddie found her racket, and I’ve been trying to get back into playing before summer arrives, so we decided to take an afternoon to hit a few balls as a family. It’s so fun to see her get the bug for a sport, especially one I loved playing when I was her age; and to see her put her mind to something, and can happen with a little patience and persistence.
Anywho, spring break is around the corner and we are very excited to be heading back to the Happiest Place on Earth. We had a trip planned for Lila’s first birthday last September but postponed it until now, and we can’t wait to get back to one of our very favorite spots.
I’ve been stocking up on some cute Disney gear over the last few weeks for both me and the girls, and have shared a few finds on Instagram. I was pleasantly surprised at how many fellow Disney geeks are out there, so thought I’d round up a few of my favorite Mickey finds here.
Hope y’all enjoy!

This gift guide for the hostess may very well be my favorite, filled with so many goodies I’ve gifted or have recently been gifted by friends and family…
I am obsessed with this balsam and fir candle that was gifted to us last season- the scent is holiday perfection and the vessel is so beautiful, you can use it well beyond the season.
I’m often asked what to get Lila this time of year and -besides clothing- I always go back to my sensory-seeking tried and trues…
Anything squishy like these bears, balls and soft legos are great options- that make for perfect stocking stuffers, too!
And now for Him- Here’s a round up of some of of Phil’s favorite things, and a few that are on his personal Christmas list, too.
This guide starts with this Ravenel patch hat from our favorite local hat company, Pax Supply. Phil has this one- and a few others, and they’re all our faves!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a gift guide, but Maddie’s Christmas list has officially been submitted so I thought it was only fair to pass along! This first one is for the tweens- we have jewelry and skincare and all things “PREPPY"
September will mark 2 years since our lives changed completely -2 years since our #asd diagnosis.2 years since our private preschool kicked us out only days after. 2 years since I felt so helpless and lost- and crippled with fear that the way they treated us would be our new normal -
Happy Monday!
I cannot believe that next week it will be AUGUST. This summer has flown by. And while we have had so much fun, we are so excited to start school in a few weeks. A new school for Mads and a new head teacher for little miss Lila.
To the silver haired lady that gently took my hand in the airport ~
Your eyes were kind.
Your face was patient; pensive.
Wise.
Knowing.
Happy Wednesday, friends!
Second week of summer is here, and we are adjusting to the quasi schedule we will have before heading to the mountains for a bit to escape the Charleston heat.
This one is packed full of my personal favorites to give and receive-
For a close friend or relative I love this modern sideways cross from my friends at The Fine Jewelry Concierge. Ashley has a full catalogue of ready to ship items on her gorgeous new website, in addition to her stunning custom and bespoke pieces.
