Bubbles And Play-Doh

After a long morning painting Moon Guy, afternoon bubbles and a little play-doh with Easton is the perfect end to a blissful day! Hope everyone has a weekend full of beautiful moments.

Ombré And Sparkles


{Randolph Duke dress, Fendi purse, Jimmy Choo shoes}

Ever since I was a teenager, I have been obsessed with all things ombré. My ombré love began back in high school with my daily worn blue-gradient guess dress. Oh, and of course my ombré hair represents mommy chic at it's best (no time for highlights). Furthermore, my crystal dress in this photo-shoot, is my most favorite ombré look. This stunner is beautifully detailed, transitions the colors gray to blue seamlessly, and features a unique vintage flapper-inspired vibe. Over time my style has certainly evolved (no more hair scrunchies), but my love for gradient expression remains in full swing.

Thank you Lindsay Parks Photography for the incredible shoot!

Magical Kingdom

Anyone that knows me is well aware that Disney World is not my happiest place. My idea of the perfect vacation does not include ridiculously long lines, sweltering heat, and screaming kids. With all that said, this Mother's Day we took our first family trip to Disney World (welcome to mommy-hood). With our newborn, toddler, and grandma in tow, we set off for our Disney adventure and much to my surprise had a magical day. Watching my son Easton's face light up on the Buzz Lightyear ride, his escatic waving to all his favorite characters during the parades and his sweet cousin Carter holding his hand throughout the Donald Duck show, this mommy finally understands why Disney World is indeed the happiest place on earth.

Suite Escape

Once upon a time, in a far away land, my master bedroom was once a sweet tranquil escape. Now used as a family bedroom (cosleeping mommy), my master suite is more often than not, full of noise and littered with toys. A typical Tuesday is now relegated to Easton's Superman bed-jumping performance night. With all that said, as I lay down to sleep, the sound of the ocean and my little hearts sleeping is now by far, my favorite escape!

My bedoom suite photos were taken on a toy clean-up day. Where is your favorite sweet escape?

My little heart, Emory James, is a sleeping angel on my king size bed.

Happy Birthday To Me!


Every year my best friends traveled near and far (love my besties) to help this birthday girl celebrate fabulously (28th New York trip, 29th Ritz Carlton party, 30th boat party, and a 32nd surprise party) but now, this mommy's month long birthday extravaganza has been put on hold indefinitely. In fact, I'm lucky to get a dinner night out with my husband. Although, I do miss seeing beloved friends, tonight this happy mama will celebrate a birthday dance with my big and little hearts, Eric, Easton, and baby Emory! Thank you for all the birthday love..
