Hi! I’m McKenzie!
This year this sweet little blog turned 10! Over the years it’s evolved into so much more than an online journal! I’m obsessed with the community we’ve built together (here and on social!) I just love sharing life with you ladies!
First and foremost I’m a grateful wife and mama to two! My high school math tutor turned husband and I have been married for a decade and have two beautiful little girls, Alba Grace (5) and Millie (3) as well as sweet baby we’ll meet in heaven!
While I mostly share the highlights, things that inspire me and fun projects we’re working on, I won’t shy away from sharing the hard! That’s what makes our community so special.
We’re southerners from a little Island in Northeast Florida and currently setting up house in the cutest little hallmark town you ever did see! While we love being home we rarely turn down an opportunity to travel and share our adventures here with you!
I love Jesus, all things blue and white, long walks around antique stores, decorating (and redecorating!), floral prints, long dresses, family rhythms + traditions, jetting off to the Carribean, tending to my plants, spontaneous lunch dates with my girlfriends, easy entertaining, mom hacks, Disney days with my people and hunting down the best finds to share with y’all!
I’m learning to find joy in it all!
