Lil ol me

my daughter & husband are my world & i couldn't be happier with that. i am far from perfect and i'm in complete awe of how blessed i am and constantly wonder how i came to be so lucky.

i am well intentioned, but stubborn. i tend to be a little scatterbrained. i'm rarely on time and am always losing my keys. i'm working on my patience. i wear my heart on my sleeve. i'm a hopeless romantic and desperately believe that good will always win out over evil. i live in organized chaos & have complete ocd about the oddest things. respect is huge with me. while i believe in the good in people, i believe that trust is something that is earned. i'm a shameless people watcher. i prefer tea or cocktails with a few close friends at a quiet, cozy place to a crazy night out bar hopping at the trendiest club. i have the best family ever (my new little family, the family i came from & my huge extended family!).


i love; SWEET TEA, lowercase letters, odd numbers, the colors pink, green & kentucky blue, the arts (music, dance, art, theater), the south (accents, food, chivalry, tradition), anything vintage inspired, road trips, cities, kentucky, real estate, interior decorating, holidays, champagne, crafting, baking, etiquette, college sports (SEC).

my favorite dresses twirl & have pockets. a girl should always carry a koozie in her purse, have over-sized sunglasses & sparkly heels.

upon hearing my daughter take her first breath, i finally (after 26 years, 2 months, 8 days, 9 hours and 39 minutes of constant future planning) learned to live in the moment.

first.

hi there y'all,

thanks for stopping by! yesterday, on a first anniversary of sorts (it was a year ago yesterday that i got the most incredible surprise in discovering i was pregnant with my little baby love), i figured its about time i give this whole blogging thing a try.  i'll tell stories, vent, share fun recipes and home projects, news i find interesting and tons of other things as i stumble through my newest roles in life as mommy & wife (excuse the corny, cliche rhyme!). i promise to try & not bore you too much.

happy reading!

always, M
