While Emerson and my husband nap, I thought I would take a moment to log in and wish those of you who celebrate the holiday a very merry Christmas! Last night we went to my sister’s house – she hosts Christmas Eve dinner each year and it’s always an amazing meal. This year she made…
Friday I left work early so I could get home in time to take Emerson to the Festival of Lights. Her favorite part of Christmas is all the “shine bright” and I knew seeing a light festival would blow her mind. We had her rear-facing in her carseat all this time and she has just…
Not until a little over a year ago, did I admit I was based out of Washington, DC (I used to have a pseudonym and just say I was somewhere on the Mid-Atlantic). Once I admitted my location, I decided to make an effort to get to know my fellow DC fashion bloggers. Thanks to…

This weekend was all about Christmas! Friday night we went to our town’s Festival of Lights. This was the first year we attended and I felt as though I was in Mayberry. They had free hot chocolate and cookies, the high school choir and the town’s marching band performed, the town pageant winners were up…
