Sometimes when I’m walking in public with someone, I like to pretend like I’m mall-walking. Ya know, the dramatic sway of the hips, the intense swinging of the arms, the heel-to-toe steps, and a faux smile plastered on the face.

…it embarrasses them every time. Score.

  13. I recently discovered Francesca's and it is such a cute little shop…didn't know it was a franchise!
    …And as for the mall-walking, it embarasses them even more when you got your headphones on blasting Beyonce.

    I was a bit on the fence on tribal prints but you may have just convinced me to try it! You look lovely! And I love that bag – gorgeous!

    I tried to do the same thing – that mall walk/strut. But then someone asked if I had hurt my leg so my plan to embarrass my friends backfired haha

    I cam upon your blog by chance but I really like it a lot! I'm following you now on Bloglovin and I hope that you'll follow me too s we can stay connected. I look forward to reading your posts! :]

10/27/18 Mr. & Mrs. White

There’s not a day that goes by when I don’t feel so blessed to be Jordan’s wife. He is my everything. These photos and video are the sweetest reminder of our love for one another. So, grab a cup of coffee, pull up a seat, and try not to bawl your eyes out (because I know we did). Every time we look through our photos and watch our video, we cry the happiest tears.

The Proposal

It’s crazy what can happen in a year. I met the love of my life and the rest is history. I was having a hard time ending this post, because frankly, I think I could talk about that evening forever. Then I realized that this post doesn’t have an ending, but instead, a beginning. Thank you so much for all of the love, excitement, and gratitude.

Dark Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread

One of my favorite things to do in the fall is bake my dark chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I’ve made it *so* many times for me, J, and friends & family. It’s moist, decadent, and super easy to make! It also makes for a great DIY housewarming gift.
