A few snapshots on film from a very special (pregnant) Christmas!
Savannah, Georgia
The first week of December I had the opportunity to travel to Savannah, Georgia for work. My co-worker, Anna, and I had the best time exploring the city and would highly recommend The Drayton Hotel. Visiting before Christmas was magical because we were able to see all the decorations! Our favorite meals were at Treylor Park, Collins Quarter, and Vicβs on the Water. Donβt miss shopping at The Paris Market, Savannah Bee Co., and the Owens-Thomas House & Slave Quarters does a wonderful job sharing an accurate history of the house and Savannah. Enjoy!
Baby Boy Smith
Dale and I are OVERJOYED to be welcoming baby boy Smith in 2023! We are already over halfway to his due date and canβt wait to meet him. Sarah Dean Photography did a beautiful job capturing our news. It has been surreal getting to share the news of his upcoming arrival!

October Around The Web
Hello, friends! After a long hiatus (my last monthly roundup was in May) Iβm excited to be back! So much has happened over the past five months and I canβt wait to share. For now, I will start with October: This month kicked off with Holiday Mart and was quickly followed by a trip to North Carolina and Charleston. After a week working from the beach and celebrating Brittany and Parkin, we had one weekend at home where we had a waffle breakfast with Daleβs family and a donut fry at Mary and Kamβs house! October ended with a fun family dinner to celebrate Sophie and Daleβs birthdays and one more trip to Denver to reunite with our SLU Froends (and Laura and Ashton!). For Halloween, we are having a family dinner and then taking my sisterβs dog Kaldi trick or treating at my grandparents house! Around the web we watched the UK (and beyond) mourn the death of Queen Elizabeth II and I found some other spooky inspiration:
Loved seeing the corgis pay tribute to The Queen!
The best golden hue for Fall
Grace designed a shoe with Sarah Flint and gave us a peek into the process!
Lovely party favor DIY
Iβve never been huge on decorating for Halloween but bookmarking these ideas as inspiration for next year.
A thoughtful list of core values
While partial to my bright blue front door, itβs fun to see what colors others choose!
My mom recently purchased a Cricut so sending this Halloween DIY her way
Sad to report I didnβt get bulbs in the ground this year but I always appreciate them around our neighborhood! Hoping my current round all return next year.
Anne Hathaway is having fun with fashion lately!
So long spooky season!
A Weekend in Charleston
Last weekend we were lucky to spend time in Charleston celebrating the wedding of Brittany and Parkin! Haley & Colton, Megan & Matt and Dale & I all shared an Airbnb and had the best time exploring in-between the wedding festivities. This included a quick trip to Sullivanβs Island (with lunch at Poeβs Tavern), a few photos on Rainbow Row, an ice cream break at Jeniβs, and a stroll through the gardens at Magnolia Plantation & Gardens. Iβm so grateful for this time with my Chi O sisters and hope to be back in beautiful Charleston very soon!
Emerald Isle, North Carolina
Last week Dale and I spent a few days enjoying the beach on Emerald Isle, North Carolina. It was the perfect place to relax and work remotely before heading to Charleston for the weekend. Most of the time we were just at the beach house, but we did spend one evening wandering around Beaufort and had dinner at Aqua.
