Oh goodness, friends…it was a process picking a preschool for Camden and Ella! I thought I’d share about my experience in case it might help someone. If you’re local to Charleston, I’m sorry but I will not be naming the schools I toured or the school we selected. This is for my kids’ own safety and because it’s just my opinion and I don’t want to hurt another schools’ reputation. First things first, I toured 10 schools and they were all very different! My first tip is to have all your ...
Motherhood
You had me at…”Never Shave My Legs Again!”
I’m not the girl that is obsessed with hair or makeup…what I am obsessed with is soft, clear skin, and anything that makes my life easier! I recently found the most amazing laser and skin care center in Charleston, Charleston Laser & Aesthetics! The office is beautiful and super clean inside and the staff is so kind!! They frequently use the hashtags, #realpeople and #realbeauty! I absolutely love this because I always assumed these places were for people very into cosmetics or ...
Life is Better in Matching Fuzzy Slippers
If you know me, you know that I’m all about matching and all about Christmas! We have many Christmas traditions that I hope stick around and that my kids pass on to their kids. Some of these include: a new Christmas book, seeing Santa, finding Santa’s sleigh bells, donuts on Christmas morning, opening stockings on Christmas Eve, and going for a walk on the beach on Christmas. Another fun one is we always get new matching Christmas pajamas. I ordered ours for this year and then I saw that ...
Top 5 Tips to Prepare Your Kids for a Photoshoot
If you’ve been a reader of my blog for any time at all, you can tell we LOVE photos! We take a ton both professionally and ourselves. I get a lot of questions on how I get good pictures of my kids, so I thought I’d share my tips with you: Pick the best time of the day for your family! You need to pick a time that works best for your kids, meaning when will they be in a good mood? Mornings are not good for us (besides my husband, the other 3 of us aren’t morning people). My kids like to ...
Just a Northern Girl Living in a Southern World
A few weeks ago, our kids were playing in the waves and having the time of their lives. I remember thinking and telling Judd, “This is where we’re supposed to be! This our place!” He said back, “I know! We actually did it.” #allthetears We have officially lived in Charleston for over a year so, I think it’s time to finally write about how we feel about living in the South…the good and the bad!! Just a little back story in case you haven’t been reading my ...
A Day in the Life- July 2019
One of my favorite things to read from bloggers are “Day in the Life” posts. They give you a snapshot into people’s everyday lives! I wish I had done this while my kiddos were newborns (#absolutecraziness) and then every few months, just so I could look back on it. I’ve done a lot of Life Lately posts but never a “Day in the Life”, here goes nothing… The day I’m writing about was a random “work day” last week. We travel a lot and we do try to keep busy but I should warn you, ...
