    The Watermelon Crawl

    Hey y’all! I hope y’all had a great weekend–I know I did–and aren’t having to much of a weekend hangover this Monday! Last weekend I heard about a Watermelon Festival nearby and after being couped up working all week, I convinced Derrek that we really needed to go. I’m a festival junkie…I’m really obsessed with them. I actually have the ones around us marked down in my planner so we don’t miss out on any of the fun. We’ve been to the Pecan, Strawberry, Peanut, Tobacco, Peach, Wooden Boat, and Food Truck Festivials just to name a few. Last Saturday we headed to Fair Bluff, NC and braved the heat for…

    Freshly Picked Moccasins

    Harper’s Outfit: || Floral Headband – Pretty N’Chic Boutique || Amber Teething Necklace – Hazel-Aid || Denim Overalls – Gap || Moccasins – Freshly Picked || Nolan’s Outfit: || Polo Shirt – Chaps || Jeans – Gap || Moccasins – Freshly Picked || Baby shoes are somewhat of an oxymoron if you ask me. There are many cute baby shoes out there like Nikes and Sperries, but what the shoe companies do not tell you is that they will likely fall off within the first ten minutes of babies wearing them. Freshly Picked Moccasins are the only shoes I suggest for every baby shower, birthday, Easter, and Christmas gifts you buy…

    Organic Smash cake with Strawberry + Beet Icing

    When I began planning Harper’s first birthday, one thing I knew for sure is that my friend Sarah needed to make her smash cake. Sarah is a fellow crunchy mama, a mom of all trades, she makes amazing cakes, creates the best DIY Projects (that she actually finishes), all the while working on her Masters at the University of South Carolina. Her two littles are my children’s friends and we try and spend as much time with them as we can. I told her my vision of Harper’s organic cake and she recreated my idea perfectly! I think the adults at Harper’s smash cake photoshoot enjoyed her cake more than…
