My wonderful friend Brittany Evans recently captured another chapter in our pregnancy journey with these maternity photos! As promised in my last post, I am sharing them here along with another quick update on pregnancy and life to fulfill my ever-present need to ramble. She also featured a few of her favorites on her own […]
Hi, hey, hello – remember me? Me, who said I’d be better at blogging for the remainder of my pregnancy? (Peeks at reader with guilty eyes through the gaps of fingers partially shielding my face from view). Yeah, hi. My bad. For whatever reason, I seem to love to sabotage my own writing goals. I’ve […]
I can’t believe I am already halfway through my pregnancy! That fact is crazy to me, because it means our baby girl will be here before we know it, and it means that in just the same amount of months that I’ve been pregnant (feels like a blink) our entire lives will change. I had […]
Surprise!!!!!!! We are so happy to announce that we have a baby in bloom, due April 2019! If you follow me on Instagram, you would’ve seen this announcement already – and on there I also disclosed that I was excited to share this stylized photo shoot, which captured the joy and beauty of such a […]
One of my best friends on island, Brittany Evans, recently did this photoshoot with Christian and me!

Classic, distinctly airport-y Christmas music is playing over the loud speaker, […]
I can still remember when I thought that phrase and life stage – one’s ‘twenties’ – felt light years away; like a true indication of adulthood. And now that I’m well and truly there, three years into my third decade, I’ve had that universal epiphany. You know – the one where it suddenly hits you […]
Well everyone, it has been one week since I COMPLETED my 30-day Bikram yoga challenge: 30 classes in 30 days! If you follow me on Instagram or read my first post about this yoga challenge, you’ll know I was really nervous about the prospect of practicing hot yoga every single day for a month straight. […]
. . . Do you ever consider how quickly we humans adapt to things? How easily ‘new’ becomes ‘normal’? All of the sudden, today, when I was sitting at the beach on a mound of sand I’d piled up to try to avoid the high tides, barely even noticing the once-novel scent of my coconut […]
