I have the MOST FUN any time I’m in front of Michelle’s camera. She is so fun to hang out with and it ends up being the best girl time + hair and makeup! Y’all know I have 4 kids and I work from home.. I don’t get to feel fancy very often! If you like laughing until your cheeks hurt (your face cheeks) and feeling 🔥 - book a shoot with her! 10/10 highly recommend.

Thank goodness for spring. 🌸 2026 has been kin Thank goodness for spring. 🌸

2026 has been kind of a weird, wild ride so far, but full of good things. I started a new job! And that has taken up a lot of my time (in a good way), so I’ve been a little bit quiet around here.

I’m trying as hard as I can to prioritize myself more these days. Finally went to the doctor and did some blood work. Turns out, I’m severely anemic. I’m hoping I’ll start feeling better and little more awake after I start my iron. 😅 Maybe I can lay off the coffee a little bit. (J/k)

I can’t believe it’s almost April after we went through 3 years of January, but I’m not mad about it! Ready to relax outside on patios with family/friends and enjoy our kiddos running around. We made it. 🖤

Last night Nate made the big mistake of saying I d Last night Nate made the big mistake of saying I don’t post pictures of him (a man who doesn’t like social media very much much or having his photo taken.) And he said this to his social media loving picture taking wife who is finally feeling the sunlight on her face after months of seasonal depression. 🤪 Might just turn this into a Nate appreciation account. Stay tuned.😉

Pieces of The Days // Getting By


It’s hard to blog when things are shitty, friends. There’s really no other way to put it. Sometimes “shitty” is the only fitting word for a bad situation, and this is one of those times. My Father-in-law has cancer, as most of you know, and things have been really extra hard lately. I haven’t really been able to figure out how to work the events of the past week or so into the life that I share on this blog, so I just haven’t.

I miss blogging, y’all. I haven’t posted in a quite a while and yet, I still continue to get sweet comments on my most recent outfit post. Seriously – you guys really don’t know how much you’ve brightened some of my darker days recently, even for just a minute! It’s the simple things.

I’m not sure what’s ahead for our family over the next month, but I know I want to blog as much as I can – when the sun comes out, so to speak. I want to have something to work on- writing, outfits, photography – things that are pretty insignificant but make me feel happy. This is my favorite time of the year for all of those things, after all.

We’re heading to Disney World on the 15th for a week. Tim, my FIL, insisted that he take our entire family to Disney – so we’re dropping everything and making it happen. I feel extremely blessed that Nate and I are in the position to be able to do that. Even in sad times, I’m excited to experience one of my favorite places on earth with all of them. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that Tim will continue to feel well enough to enjoy this trip! Xo.

    Enjoy your Disney World trip! I'm sorry things are such a bummer right now, but I'm glad you're able to focus on the positive silver lining! =]

    I just found you a couple of days ago, so I had no idea, I'm so sorry to hear this and truly hope that he (and all of you) will be able to enjoy this special family outing that obviously means a lot to him 🙂

    I'm so sorry stuff has been tough for you guys lately, my thoughts are with you all. Your FIL sounds pretty awesome though, dragging everyone to Disney despite everything. I hope stuff looks up for you all soon xo

    Stay positive. Keep your head up. Your FIL would much rather see you smile than to see you cry. 😉 Have fun at Disney! Epcot has their Food & Wine festival going on. Just sayin!

    Very sorry for the troubles you're having in your life right now. Try keeping your chin up. And you're right – sometimes the only word to describe it all is SHITTY.

    Hi Stephanie! How are you? I received an automatically created mail which said that you didn't get my message. Good to hear you received it anyway. The news over here are full of Sandy – hopefully it will be over soon. Have a lovely day! 🙂
