// Weekly Recap v.4


This week has flown by! It's almost hard to remember everything that has happened. The boys stayed with me an extra day, until Monday night, because Mike had a work seminar to go to. It was nice to get an extra evening together on Sunday, so we made it a family night where we popped some popcorn, and then we all piled up on our huge "beanbag" chair to watch Bob's Burgers (our favorite!) Not gonna lie, having a cozy chair we can all fit on is kind of amazing. Our couch fits us all but it's not necessarily the most comfortable. All 3 of us prefer the little grey chair because of it. The boys really love to put this ginormous thing in front of the grey chair and then jump clear across the living room to land on it. It's basically turns our living room into a super fun gymnasium of sorts haha! If you don't have a giant beanbag, you should probably get one. They're rad. Though I think beanbag is probably not the right term for the chair because it's not filled with traditional beanbag filler - it basically feels like chunks of foam or pillow in a way? I'm not sure how to explain it, but it stays fluffy forever. Like even when you're sitting on it - still super fluffy and supportive. Many naps have been taken on this thing by each of us haha It's also Enid's favorite place to hang out if it's not already spoken for. (Peep her down there on the back of the couch snoozin') Anyway, all of this to say I should've gotten one of these babies sooner haha - The one that we have is called the King Fuf by Big Joe, just for reference. I really want one of the fluffy white ones even though I'd have nowhere to put it haha *heart eyes* -- Complete tangent but it kind of made me think of this haha... Who remembers inflatable furniture?! Like the bright neon/transparent stuff from the 90s?! Holy crap I remember having one of the bright pink couches and a neon green chair haha I also remember how terrible it felt to peel yourself from them literally any time of year. Are those still a thing?!

* Side note: Linden's bajankety haircut. Y'all... haha! It was basically butchered in town so a friend came over to fix it one evening. She made it look a bajillion times better, though you can't tell here ha! It's not terrible when it's brushed over, but let's be real, it literally never stays that way so. I was pretty sure we were going to just have to buzz his whole head and start over. Still not 100% convinced that we shouldn't, but grow hair, grow!

Monday was super productive and busy busy! I had some doula appointments to get to that evening so I spent the last half of the day in Nashville running around. The weather got bad on Monday, but Nashville was nothing compared to what happened at home. Mike had just picked up the boys from Amy's house next door and it came one hell of a storm. And by storm I mean hellnado. I had been watching the radar and checking in with Mike every so often to make sure they were okay, but it wasn't until Tuesday morning that I found out there was an actual tornado that touched down here. It was only an F-1, but still... it was a freaking tornado! My mom showed me some photos of the giant wall cloud and then of the funnel formation starting basically right over her house. Y'all, that was our second tornado in five days! Ahhhhhh. Tennessee is scary in the spring.

Tuesday and Wednesday were both especially low key. Which was awesome and much needed. It almost feels like my brain shut down completely those days. Or maybe I just don't recall too much of what happened. (This tends to happen to me if I don't post on IG/Twitter because I can't look back and see what all I did haha! What's wrong with my brain?!) ALL of the weather stations were calling for unbelievable storms on Thursday, so most of the schools in middle Tennessee closed for the day. I mean they realllllly talked these two storm systems up, and lil' ol Hohenwald was right in the middle of the "Red Zone" for hellnados. I sat at Whitney's house Wednesday night until 1am as we both panicked over the weather. Y'all I was so scared I didn't even want to go to sleep that night. But guess what happened? Nothing. Abso-freaking-lutely NOTHING. Like, at all. It was sunny all day Thursday, and I didn't even experience any rain until sitting in Frothy Monkey in downtown Franklin last night. That tends to happen when our weather folks talk about these huge storms... which makes it hard for anyone to take them seriously next time they roll around. Anyway.


Today I woke up without a voice. No voice at all. It all started with an annoying allergy-induced cough last night, and within 3 or 4 hours I could barely croak a single word. I had hoped it'd wear off as I slept, but nope. Today is so much worse. I feel 100% fine, but I sound like I've maybe smoked 2 packs a day for my entire 29 years on this planet. Sexy, right? ;) Today I'm going to tackle some more of my to do list to try and get ahead for next week, but I'm also going to indulge in a pot or three of coffee and then power through the rest of season 3 of Grace and Frankie. That's my current workout show and I love it so much. Who else watches it?! Alrighty y'all, until next time!

PS! I scooped up a jewelry subscription box called Emma & Chloe recently - it's a rad little box out of France with gorgeous designer jewelry. It's normally $35/mo but they're running a bomb promo until the end of April where you can get your first box for $1! The necklace that I got in my March box retails for ~$69 so it's a definite steal. Just throwing that out there in case any of y'all wanna snag one for yourself or your mama for Mother's Day! Totally not sponsored, though I do have a code you can use to get the $1 box: CLUELESS1. I had intended on only getting the 1 box initially, but I'm going to stick with it for a bit and see what I get in April!

Twenty-eight was quite a ride. As Rupi Kaur says "It has been the year of hurting so bad but living so good." Nothing else could quite describe 28. I'm excited to see where 29 takes me. And this totally makes me want to resurrect my old "26 before 27" style yearly bucket lists. I'm not sure I could come up with 29 things to do before I'm 30 though... Wanna throw some suggestions my way?


One of the only traditions I've kept up with... urban typography on my birthday! Here are the previous years: 222324252627 and 28

In an attempt to tide myself over until I can bask in the sun sans clothing, here are 24 super cute swimsuits I've found... every single one of them UNDER $30! I'm thinking numbers 4, 8, 12, 18, and 21 are my favorites.

// Picking A Dining Table + Chairs



My parents had me a custom island built as a Christmas present this past year, and it has ~transformed our kitchen. We got rid of our diner booth + Formica table last year, so we had been eating at the coffee table ever since. Now that we have this big island, we're able to eat together and enjoy it. The spot where we had the diner booth is sad and lonely though! I currently have a trunk and a bench over there, with Linden's doll house, but it's not a very good use of the space. We really need a seated dining area but the space is kind of small and awkward (our back door is right in the middle of the room). I've been toying with the idea of a small round table (like the tulip tables above) with 3-4 chairs or an L-shaped bench, but I'm having a little bit of trouble narrowing down exactly what style chair I want to go with. I'll eventually replace our black and white retro tile floor, but for now it stays. Our cabinets are white and our countertops are a dark grey "dalmatian" pattern. You can tell by the photos above that I tend to gravitate toward those industrial chairs - I just can't help it! I have a seafoam green one in my studio, and they make matching bar stools, too. This post makes me want one of everything though: The 30 Coolest Contemporary Dining Chairs Ever. I'm now on the hunt for dining rooms featuring those acrylic ghost chairs! I know they'll never work in my dining space, but I'm kind of in love with them regardless haha. We do have more than one of those "Eames" style shell chairs in our house, so going with the smaller version (without sides) might be an option, too.

Any of y'all have any suggestions on where to look for dining tables/chairs? I've been half-heartedly scanning both Overstock and Wayfair, but I think I really need to nail down a direction first. What style chair gets your vote?

// Weekly Recap v.3 - CPST and Spring!


This past week has been GO, GO, GO! I spent 4 days staying in Jackson (West Tennessee) for my Child Passenger Safety class, and holy moly that was a lot of information! It felt SO good to finally get that certification though! Say hello to Kaelah Beauregarde, Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician! If you're local and you need a car seat check, hit me up! :P The class was intense but I really really enjoyed it. Everyone in my class was lovely, too, so that helped. I stayed in an AirBnB while I was out that way so I wouldn't have to drive the 1.5 hours each way every single day. Turned out to be a very smart choice on my part haha! The only bad thing about my trip: I ended up with a speeding ticket. Oops! Rather than assume what the speed limit is, you should probably know. And I didn't. So I got a ticket. Womppppp. Luckily I'll be able to take traffic school so at least there's that haha

On Sunday while riding motorcycles I managed to lay mine down. That was my first motorcycle ~"wreck" and I certainly hope it's my last, too. Luckily I wasn't going very fast and I didn't get hurt - Skinned a layer of skin off of my elbow and scratched up my knee, but otherwise I'm A-okay and so is the bike. My ego? Eh, now that's a little bruised haha! Regardless, I'm glad to have that under my belt because it illustrates exactly how the bike will always go where you're looking.


Sunday evening when I got back into town I met Whitney for Mexican food and margaritas. We spent a couple hours enjoying some girl time and catching up since we had both had very very busy and exciting weeks. After I picked up the boys at 6:30 we went over to Whitney's house to hang out for a bit so the boys could play with CJ and Bennett. Once we got home I realized just how much stuff I had to catch up on from the past week. Oof! Any volunteers to help?

Yesterday was beautiful! The weather was so so perfect! Couldn't have asked for a better first day of Spring. We managed to sneak away to the park for a bit after I got some work done, and then we headed to Toby's baseball practice. It's that time of year!
Today I'm continuing down my hefty To Do list and trying to catch up with everything before the end of the week. I'll be headed to the Zappos' Friends With Benefits Roadshow in Nashville on Friday, so I'd like to have everything tied up and finished before then. It's been a busy one, but I've enjoyed most of it. I know I'm going to have to start getting more efficient with my workflow so that I can start spending more time outside! How's the weather wherever you are?
