The month of December started with a bang. Little guy and I have been following my Atlanta Event Advent Calendar. It has been a lot of fun...knowing exactly what's in store for us for the day. Yes, I've planned out just about everything for the month of December. Everything that is, except for gifts; gifts for myself, for my husband, and my little bear. Today, I've decided to scour the Continue Reading
Don’t get sad…get plaid!
Y'all... My heart is so, so heavy today. It is October 30: two days away from Brittany Maynard's scheduled "death with dignity." I don't know why she has affected me so much: maybe it is that we are the same age. Perhaps it is the love that she has for her husband, or the admiration she holds for her mother. I don't know why her choice to end her life has devastated me in the deepest way Continue Reading

Luv You Moore (A Giveaway)
I seriously do not know how parents wait to find out the gender of their little ones. I think most of my dreams from week 5-week 20 of pregnancy were about the gender of our little baby. Every time I had a dream, our baby was always a girl. Her name would be different, but her gender was the same. I could NOT wait to find out whether we would have a bundle filled with sugar and spice or snips Continue Reading
How to get OOTD with a four-month-old
Bekah writes I Prefer My Puns Intended, which is a blog detailing the life and times of a wife, mother, runner, former and future ninth grade English teacher, and part-time fashion enthusiast.

Oh buoy!
As a kid, I could always depend on two things in the summertime. First, I was sure to squeeze both of my feet into one fin in the pool and pretend to be a mermaid.

The second thing I could always count on was one solid day on Lake Lanier with my whole family. Every Continue Reading

What I’m loving Wednesday: It must be in the jeans…
At twenty weeks pregnant, Steven and I found out that we were having a boy.I sincerely prayed for a boy; I was SO excited to find out we would be expecting a bundle filled with snips and snails and puppy dog tails. Then it hit me: a small ripple of sadness that I would not be able to shop for baby girl clothes. Let's be honest, the hair bows and the dresses and the cute little jeggings Continue Reading
