One of the hardest parts of motherhood (in my opinion) is feeding your kids. It’s hard to find the time and energy to cook nutritious meals and snacks and constantly come up new recipes, not to mention that kids can be super picky eaters! So today I wanted to share a few of the snacks that my kids have been loving recently (and please, feel free to share what your kids are loving in the comment section – we can all learn from each other!). I like to pick a few of these recipes and make them on Sundays so that the girls have plenty of snacks on hand throughout the week (I store everything in th ..read more

Good morning, friends! I am back with a new outfit to share, and it’s one of my favorite “easy” outfits I’ve worn recently! It’s a combo that can’t be beat – a simple skirt and tank, with a denim jacket thrown on top. This eyelet skirt is going to be on repeat all summer – it’s less than $40 and is super similar to this much more expensive LoveShackFancy skirt. These straw heels are super trendy for spring and summer, and I love how they match a lot of the handbag styles that we’re seeing this season. And speaking of handbags…. this beauty is also new! I LOVE HER. Yes, she’s designer and an i ..read more

A few weeks ago Chris and I vacationed at Cobblers Cove in Barbados! It was an all-around incredible trip, made even sweeter by the fact that we got some uninterrupted sleep at night (since the kids stayed home, haha!). Cobblers Cove had been on my bucket list for YEARS, and it was everything I thought it would be and more. Imagine pink and white striped umbrellas, turquoise water, lush gardens and tropical flowers everywhere you look, and that’s a pretty close description of what it’s like to be staying at Cobblers Cove. I’m rounding up the outfits I wore below, but scroll on for the full rev ..read more

The weather is playing tricks on us! Last week it was 74 and sunny and absolutely BEAUTIFUL, this week it is 50 and freezing! I have decided that I will be wearing spring clothes from here on out, no matter the weather. Starting with this beautiful Free People Bluebell Mixed Print Cotton Maxi Dress. Would you even know that I almost froze to death wearing this? Haha! I should have thought to pair it with a denim jacket, but I really did not want to cover up the beautiful bows on the shoulders! We are headed to Ocean Isle Beach for the week for the girls’ Spring Break (I’m actually writing thi ..read more

It’s March and that means spring is almost here and so is Easter! I can’t wait for warm weather, homemade lemonade, flowers and sunshine!! From the looks of this best sellers list it seems like y’all might have spring fever just as much as I do. This list is full of sandals, sundresses and swimsuits… so let’s get started! 10. Johanna Ortiz Ruffle Swimsuit I wore this Johanna Ortiz ruffle swimsuit top and bottoms in the Bahamas! It’s such a great neutral swimsuit that you can pair with different colored accessories (I wore it with a jade necklace!), and the fact that it’s ivory means you can pa ..read more

Rosettes (aka 3D flowers) are trending for spring, and they are everywhere from handbags to necklaces… even swimsuits, apparently! I wore this super cute bikini top and bikini bottom in the Bahamas a few weeks ago and knew it needed it’s own moment on my blog. The detail, the color, the slight sheen of the fabric… it is perfection in a swimsuit! I tell you what, these photos are really making me miss beach weather! It is FREEEEZING here in North Carolina this week and I could not be more ready for the arrival of spring. We had to bump up our heat a couple degrees because it was so cold, our h ..read more

I know everybody on social media is talking about how yellow is *the color* of spring, but I actually think lavender is where it’s at! I am so drawn to colors of lavender and lilac lately – in shoes, tops, dresses and even handbags! I wore this swim look in the Bahamas and have to say it’s one of my favorites, from the crochet swim cover-up with little purple flowers, to this crochet tote that is perfectly cute. I wore my ivory Montce swimsuit underneath, but I think any color suit would do! I love how glamorous this look is, but also kinda effortless at the same time. Back on the home front ..read more

I thought it was about time that I wrote a full blog post of my favorite non-toxic products. I know this list might seem a little overwhelming, but please know that I did not switch all of our products at the same time! It took many months of researching ingredients, brands and products and I gradually swapped out all of our “conventional” products for cleaner ones over time. So here’s a list of my favorites! Cleaners Like I have mentioned a few times, Chris and I switched over a lot of our personal care products to non-toxic versions when we were trying to get pregnant. But it wasn’t unt ..read more

Last week, we wrapped up one of our best family vacations EVER in Harbour Island, Bahamas. I called my mom as we were getting off the airplane to tell her that Harbour Island just might be my new favorite travel destination of all time… right up there with the Amalfi Coast in Italy! For starters, everything about Harbour Island is insanely gorgeous… the turquoise water, glamorously decorated hotels, pastel beach shops and restaurants, the pink sand beaches, the list goes on and on. But even more than that, it was this feeling I had when I was there! Like I was *home,* like a deep breathe of Ha ..read more

I think this might be my favorite swim look I’ve EVER posted. No joke! I have never seen seashell pants quite like this – with a drawstring, they are really quite adjustable and flattering. And don’t get me started on this swimsuit. The bikini top is something out of a mermaid’s dreams, with two seashell cups and a faux pearl right in the middle! I paired it with my seashell bag because, ya know, mermaid things! And if you’re wondering about the title of this blog post, it’s named after our cute little rental house in Harbour Island, called “Sea Star!” You might notice that it’s engraved on t ..read more
