Slice of Life – January 11th, 2017

Another week, another “Slice of Life”, and another opportunity to grab a handful of grainy cell phone pictures to help share a little bit of what we’ve been up to lately. 馃檪 Last week we found a new favorite date spot: McDonald’s! Whaaaat?! Seriously, we had the best little lunch date. Hadley had been dying to go there since she’s… Keep Reading

Turning our Sunroom into a Playroom

Remember last week when I talked about how it usually takes us a hot minute (a.k.a. a couple of years) to figure out how to best use our space? This post is a picture perfect example of that! When we moved into our home 2.5 years ago, our sunroom looked like this. About four months later our sunroom was the… Keep Reading

After making this two layer carrot cake one time, you'll never bake a different carrot cake again. This cake is rich, creamy, and perfect for all kinds of occasions and seasons (not just birthdays). The prep is easy with simple ingredients likely already in your house. Enjoy immensely!

Homemade Carrot Cake: The Crowd-Pleasing Two-Layer Cake

This is my favorite homemade carrot cake recipe. I hope this recipe is a hit with your family as well! Our聽whole family knows that we’re in for a treat when Jamie’s grandmother is in the kitchen. I’ve mentioned Mamaw before and what a special person she is in my life, so I was thrilled when she decided to join us… Keep Reading

Friday Favorites: Make Up, a New Car Seat, Two Blogging Resources, and More

Happy Friday! I don’t know how this week’s been for you guys, but it’s been a long one around here. Not a bad one at all (quite the opposite actually); Just looooong. We have an early anniversary date tomorrow since Jamie will be away next weekend for our actual anniversary (I could just scream about the Army’s “impeccable” timing聽every. single.聽year),… Keep Reading

Refreshing our Family/Living Room

If you give a girl pretty new canvases… …she might just paint her fireplace, refinish her end tables,聽bring in a new love seat, buy a new coffee table, and really just flip her ENTIRE MAIN LEVEL completely upside down. Doesn’t everybody do that? Because that’s exactly what happened here in our humble abode last week. I recently worked with Pixers聽to… Keep Reading

Stitch Fix #18 – January 2017

While my bank account is giving me a big high five for changing my Stitch Fix frequency to every three months from every month, I really miss seeing that pretty box on my doorstep as often as I used to! I was tracking that my latest shipment would arrive on New Year’s Eve, so I did a聽toe touch in my… Keep Reading

Slice of Life – January 2nd, 2017 (+ a must-read opportunity for bloggers!)

Happy New Year! Whew, it feels good to be back! I haven’t taken a nearly two week blogging break in over two years, but it’s been nice relaxing more with my聽munchkins during the holidays, happily聽entertaining our revolving door of guests, and dreaming of/planning for what 2017 holds. I’m so hopeful that this is going to be a wonderful year! Jamie… Keep Reading

Meet Erica

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you!

I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos.

I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 5, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!)

I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
