From a schedule point of view, May was one of our busiest months of the year, but it was such a good one! Of course, we road-tripped to Savannah and Florida, but I also booked a big new copywriting client that I’m so excited about, did more freelance work than I usually do (hence a […]

I am not even going to venture to call this a Savannah “guide” because there are SO many things we didn’t do while there because… 1. We were only there for two non-consecutive half-days. 2. Having Charlie in tow meant we wanted to keep our activities toddler-friendly (bless you, people who suggested fancy antique stores…not […]

I’m knocking this post out at the last minute because at the time I’m writing this, we’re hitting the road this afternoon! Dave’s sweet cousin is getting married in West Palm Beach, Florida this weekend, so we’re driving to Savannah and then on to Florida for a few days with a bunch of the Kirk […]

I can’t believe it has taken me over a year and a half into motherhood to do a “what’s in my diaper bag” post! Maybe it’s for the best–by now, I’ve figured out what I really need/want to tote around town and what I can leave at home or in the car. I was skeptical […]

My 28th birthday is on Sunday! I pretty much forbid phrases like “I feel so old” because, well, I’m not :) But this impending number has made me think for the first time about how soon I’ll be leaving my twenties behind. I actually really love the stage of life that I’m in–I still have […]
