I can’t sing a lick. Like, can’t even carry a tune.
I love ghost stories, paranormal documentaries, and horror movies.
I hate mustard. Yellow mustard is the worst (just the sight of it makes me gag), but I’m an equal opportunity hater of all mustards.
On Saturday, four friends and I threw a nautical baby shower for our sweet friend Ali. She’s having a boy (named Rory!) at the end of August, and I for one can’t wait to meet him!
Since Ali is going with a nautical theme for Rory’s nursery, we decided to follow suit and throw an “Ahoy, It’s a Boy!” shower. Mary designed these adorable invitations, and things just kind of went from there.
A few weeks ago, I shared about a little challenge I’m participating in this summer. Basically, I’m working on learning a new skill over the next several weeks. The skill I chose was photography! There’s so much to learn, and I know that photography can take a blog from good to great, so that’s where I’m focusing my time this summer. Here’s the first update…
At the #SBSCon last weekend, Rachel and Beth gave a really helpful presentation on photography skills. Since then, I’ve been using their tips to play around with aperture, ISO, etc. At the conference, I also learned a little more about the editing features on Instagram. There’s so much more than just the filters! Who knew?!
How is it July already?! Half the year is already over…where did it go?! With the 4th of July being on a Saturday this year, there’s sure to be lots of festivities going on! Here are some of my favorite patriotic crafts, decor, and recipes, plus a few red, white, and blue free printables! Enjoy!
It’s almost here! This weekend I’m heading to Charleston, SC to meet up with some pretty fabulous people for the Southern Blog Society Conference. Charleston has been one of my favorite cities for a very long time. I used to go with my family growing up, and even “almost” went to school at CofC not once but twice!
My favorite thing about Charleston is easily the historic homes and architecture. Yes, there are so many good places to eat and drink (I plan to hit a lot of them!), but you just can’t beat the Southern Living-esque view you get just walking down the cobbled streets. Today I wanted to share just a few of my favorite scenes from The Holy City.

First of all, just let me say that Sully is a very happy little boy. But for some reason, he always ends up looking either stoic or depressed in photos. (Case in point.)
Secondly, this experience has taught me to never be a pet photographer. Sully is usually incredibly calm, but when the camera was on him, he just got way too excited. That’s why a few photos are blurry and you see my assistant husband helping to keep him in one place.
