Do y’all get stuck on what to get your husbands for their birthday? I know I do… I had great intentions and tried to keep a list on my phone of ideas throughout the year. Needless to say, it wasn’t as expansive by the time May (Rys birthday “month”) rolled around. If you’re in the same boat, I thought I would try and lend a hand by listing out

Once a month I get together with some really great girls at wine book club.This month I chose to host because I felt like our house is really starting to come together and it would be fun to share it with this group. And just in the nick of time, my new couches came that day too!! More on these lovelies later… Oh and triple bonus, we chose

Even though my Dallas trip may be almost a week behind me at this point, I’m definitely still in a Texas state of mind! If you didn’t catch part one of my trip, check it out, it was amaZAing (wink, wink). Now, you didn’t think I was gunna leave you without sharing food pics galore did ya!? Nope! The first night in town we ate at one of my

One of the great perks of my job is that every now and then I get to hop on a plane and travel to cool places. Like Texas!  This past week I got to visit Plano and Dallas Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday, flying out on Thursday morning. It was a quick, but great mix of work and play. On the play side, we ate some

Happy St. Patrick’s Day y’all! Don’t get pinched – are you wearing your green? I did a little pre-Patty’s day prep on Friday before date night with Ry where I donned my favorite green dress. Dress: Banana Republic (sold out, same dress in print here), Necklace & Sign: Prep Obsessed Shoes: Target: (sold out, similar here) – please excuse my leafy patio! This choice was

This season of The Bachelor (with Wahpawlo) was just horrible. I admit it. I had high hopes, I really, really did, but it became obvious pretty quickly that this year’s Bachelor was whack. Although… this horribly awkward season did lead to some good convos and laughs every Monday with the girls over wine and apps. We decided if we were going to come together for a

This weekend we packed our bags for a super quick (less than 24 hrs!) trip to South Carolina. I’m from Greenville and one of Ryan’s good friends was getting married there this weekend, so we doubled up and got to see some family and friends! The wedding was absolutely beautiful! The weather was just as great as well, even up into the 70s, which we

Five years ago in Camden, South Carolina, Ryan and I met at the Carolina Cup Steeplechase. Ryan is from Camden, so we always go back every year with a group of friends and stay on Lake Wateree at his place. Our first photo together under the tent in the pouring rain – Carolina Cup 2009! PS: The handsome creeper in the background ended up being

I heart Hunter boots! Image cred: Molly & Kate Ok, really though, who doesn’t!? I’ve owned the classic green pair for a lifetime, but they were really starting to wear. Oh and did I mention, they were also kids size because I have itty feet. They were therefore always too short and I yearned for the day when I would get a nice, new, tall

Every Monday I get together with a group of girls at my house to nosh on munchies, sip on wine and indulge in the never classy, always trashy TV that is The Bachelor. We even turned it into a game and our two teams, “Juan Direction” and “Don’t You Juan-t Me, Baby?” play against each other (recap of the rules to come soon!).This past week
