a few of my favorite things + remembering A Good Dog

Can you believe Easter is right around the corner? Last week's time change kind of sneaked up on me, but the warm weather and extra hour of sunshine more than compensated for any lingering fatigue. Tom and I have made daytime dates an occasional habit, and the spring weather was the perfect excuse for an impromptu cruise around Charleston Harbor. From boat rides to clean beauty, today I'm sharing an assortment of little things that have been filling my cup lately. Speaking of cups...the trendy Ember Mug tops my list. I original[...]

Ten easy ways to elevate your space

If you've ever put your house on the market, you know the rush of activity that goes into making certain it presents well. After all the repairs and upgrades, I recall wishing we wouldn't have waited until we were selling the place to make those improvements. A few weekends’ worth of elbow grease and minor adjustments made such a difference in the way our previous home felt and functioned.Although we're not intending to sell our current abode any time soon, something about the new year has me feeling inspired to take stock of these four walls and make a punch li[...]

Puppy love: fun finds to spoil your fur baby

Today's post is unabashedly for the dog-lover. We're sharing a round-up of fun pet finds, including our own fur babies' tried and true favorites.

Summer beach bag essentials

Charleston, SC

My absolute favorite time of year is summer. Through the years my life during summer has drastically changed. From the carefree days of childhood, to the years of motherhood and chasing around toddlers covered in sunscreen and sand; it’s come full circle and I’m forever and always a summer girl.What do I love about summer? The refreshing jolt you feel as you catapult yourself into the water for a swim, running around everywhere with bare feet, wearing light cover-ups to stay cool, letting my hair air dry in the sun, and always curling up with a good book to wa[...]

Charleston, SC

On my recent trip to New York, I was thinking about how I travel and what items people deem "worthy" to make their trip better or more comfortable. I've pulled together my list of items that over the years I've realized really make a difference, plus a cool new find I spotted in NYC and couldn't wait for Harry to try. Airplanes are just plain uncomfortable! As a kid, I used to have butterflies of excitement for weeks before my flight. These days, I'm strategizing how I can get through it with the least amount of discomfort and distract myself for as lon[...]

As the seasons change, so do our routines and traditions. A recent trip to the mountains left us hoping to return every fall to enjoy the fresh air and glorious foliage!
