A seasonal lifestyle blog

A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.

An Honest Review: Archies Flip Flops

I recently took a chance on Archie’s flip flops after I realized it had been six years (!!!) since I last bought a pair.

Breezy Beach Blues

This trip to the Outer Banks was one of many firsts! For us, it was our first long-distance family trip (over 7+ hours in the car each way). So, we basically packed our bags and then some because we needed to bring pretty much everything baby-related for baby G! Oh, and Rosie came too 🤭

8 Months of G

Every month I think about how baby G’s monthly portrait will turn out! It has been such a gift to document and reflect on how she has grown, so so quickly.

August Escape To The Outer Banks

August always feels like the last gasp of summer! Days burnt by relentless sun and the hum of cicadas always come to mind. It was a first for me to travel to the Outer Banks in August, and there is a bit of a oxymoron when vacation is timed with the end of summer.

Weekend at the Goat Farm

A few weekends ago we had a spontaneous trifecta of conditions: great weather, some free time, and we weren’t too exhausted!

Arugula Salad with Parmesan & Lemon Vinaigrette

I love a salad with an arugula base - it is bold, peppery, and light at the same time! I threw together this salad for a recent summer family get-together and I absolutely love its simplicity and fresh lemon taste.
