If you’re gearing up for an egg retrieval, hi and welcome! I am currently going through my 1st round of IVF and had my egg retrieval a little over a month ago. I am super thankful that everything went well, and we are happy with the number of embryos that we were able to freeze! But I know how scary and lonely IVF can be, so hopefully this post will be helpful – especially if it’s your first time going...

If you are looking for a fun filled getaway destination, you have got to check out Bryson City!! Located in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, there is SO much to do – especially if you enjoy outdoor activities. We visited the last weekend of October and it was the absolute perfect time of year. The weather was amazing (chilly in the mornings, warm in the afternoons) and the Fall foliage was beyond beautiful!! Pictures don’t even do it...

My husband and I traveled to Mexico for a quick tropical getaway, and it was a much needed mini vacation! We stayed at the Paradisus Playa del Carmen for 4 nights, and had a wonderful experience! We have stayed at a few Paradisus resorts (you can check out my Los Cabos and Grand Cana reviews) but this was our first time in Playa del Carmen! I also have a full outfit recap of our trip in case you missed it....

Last week my husband and I escaped to Mexico for a few days, and it was a MUCH needed mini vacation! We stayed at the Paradisus Playa del Carmen and it was wonderful – I will have a full resort review coming next week, but in the meantime I wanted to share a quick outfit recap from our trip! As an effort to make this a true vacation (and not a “content trip”) I only made my husband take a...

It’s officially the first day of Fall 2022, and I’m super excited for this season! Bring on the pumpkin spice, the foliage, the cozy layers & reading by the fireplace 🙂 I just love this time of year! I put together a list of 30 fun activities to do this Fall you can find below – I’m planning to check them all off this year! I’m especially excited to try some new recipes, and brush up on my baking skills....

We all know that self care is important, but a lot of times it’s easier said than done to make time for it. While zoning out doing my skin care routine this morning, an idea popped into my head: a “self care September” challenge. This month I am challenging myself to do one act of self care every single day, even if it’s something small like practicing affirmations. I’ve put together a list of 30 self care ideas that I...

Fall is right around the corner, and it’s one of my favorite seasons to decorate for! Especially with how HOT this summer has been in South Carolina – bring on the cooler temps!! I’m decorating area by area this year, and up first is the entryway. This console table is the first thing you see when walking into my home, so I wanted to give it a cozy, warm and inviting look. I’m usually a neutrals girl, but this year...

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I took a mini trip right down the road to Greer, SC! It’s only about 30 minutes from Greenville, and it’s SUCH an unexpected hidden gem! The downtown is adorable and there are tons of shops, restaurants, and boutiques to explore! It’s the perfect destination for a day or weekend trip – there is so much to do; I wish we’d had another day there! We had the absolute best time, so...

Seasonal decorating is always fun, but I especially love decorating for Spring! After months of cold and dreary weather, the sunshine and flowers are so rejuvenating. This year I wanted to keep our Spring decor light, bright, and simple, with flowers and greenery for pops of color. My husband and I both work from home, so it’s important that the space feels calm and serene to help reduce stress and (for me) inspire creativity. I’ve rounded up a few of...
